First Time Buyer Questions: 2013-2015

Thanks for the information. I'm definitely scared about rust. In Colorado it typically doesn't get too bad if the vehicle has lived here it's whole life, but I'm watching out for the ones that have made there way in from other states. I won't really be hauling too much cargo most of the time so I think the 5' bed will be plenty for me, but time will tell.

 

I know I should, I'd rather not regret it later.

 

I started with a 2007 4 cy, should have gotten the 6cy. If i had, i would still be driving it. Traded up for a newer model and a 6cy, just got a 2015 trd.

This group is extremely helpful! Lots of ideas

Something like that is perfect.

 

Go test drive something like that!

 

The third one looks GREAT! One owner, they have had it for a long time, Offer them $1000 less than what they are asking, walk out when they won't give it to you, let them call you and beg for it.

It is 4x4 with a Locker! WOW, i'd buy that one, if i was in your situation. That one looks AMAZING!

 

Unfortunately I know I can't buy anything for a least a month, so that specific truck will probably be gone. I'm trying to keep an eye out on similar deals and finding patterns so I'm more educated the day I walk in the door.

 

I would still go look, kick the tires, see how they drive, collect info.

I went and looked at every truck i could, told the dealers that i was strictly, JUST LOOKING!

I tried a few that were beaten, some were nicer, etc. It REALLY helped.

 

Not a half bad idea. Then I can know if the truck i'm testing is actually good compared to the rest I've tested.

Good advice.

 

I usually bring a copy of my driver's License with me, just black out my ID number and the street ##"s where i actually live. That way, they cannot send me crap nor look me up for a credit check.

 

Go with a 6 cylinder if you are in Colorowdy. If you are like me, you stretch your legs, and my 2015 DCSB had some noticeable effort expended to get between Grand Junction to Durango via Ouray/Silverton with all those high mountain passes and a decent load.

 

Are you a fellow Fighting Giblet?

 

If that is a Virginia Tech reference, then you are correct!

 

What year did you graduate from the Corp of Cadets? Our Mascot is a Hokie Bird, friends who went elsewhere, always called it the fighting giblet.

 

ONE FOUR! E-Frat, Class of 2014.

 

That black one is a heck of a deal. Hopefully someone on this forum gets it.
