Colorado B.S. Thread

OK, decision time...I have been looking for a RV / toy hauler and a guy at work is willing to trade me his $48k toy hauler for my Tacoma. I will then have to go out and buy a diesel. So is it really worth it giving up my little love Taco for a bad ass toy hauler and diesel? I always said I would never get rid of the Taco, but this deal is one of those cant walk away kinda things.

 

do u want to daiy drive a diesel? if so do it. if not dont. how much will u use the toy hauler? weigh the benefits

 

Yeah, ride our quads and camp atleast once a month. And daily drive diesel isnt any different except the size of the truck. Only real downside I can see is that. Because a Cummins is just about as reliable as a tacoma in my opinion. And I am drooling over this one already. I think my wife will be pissed if I tell her I want to sell the Taco. It took a fair bit of convincing to get her to buy it in the first place and now she loves the thing.

thats on u man. piss the warden off and get rid of the taco.... or dont. i think ur taco will hold its value better than a dodge

 

If your going to buy a dodge of get the 2007 or 2007.5 cummins. They will run for ever. And hold their value like crazy so you will defiantly pay more than a Tacoma for one but it will pull what you need and drive for ever.

 

LOL, piss the warden off, thats a good one. I think its a tough call, if I could only convince the wife to get rid of her 4runner and keep both tacoma and get the dodge that would be awesome. But that wont happen. Might just have to let this deal go by the wayside just for a pure financial reason. Only 1 year until the Taco is paid off vs. having a massive loan again on the dodge.

 

So it has been forever since I got on here to check on you guys, Im glad to see this is still here.

 

Baja...drool...

There's a really cool metal fab place west of the intersection of Willox and North College. You should check with them. I always see things like really beautiful spiral staircases outside.

 

Yea, you should have..

 

Personally I wouldnt buy a dodge truck unless it was a 90's manual. Sure the cummins is a great motor but it has a shit trans behind it.

 

True but you don't buy a dodge for a tranny. everyone knows that.

 

See therin lies the problem. I dont know shit about diesels but I do know that I would need one to pull this toy hauler with any sort of power. My diesel experience is limited to my buddies dodge and I liked the way it drove the one time that I used it.

 

Any Diesel truck once you have problems get rid of em. The trannys are the only problems with dodges. I'd drive a dodge or a ford for diesels. I have several farmer buddies that have both with over 300k on both brands. I just like the look of the dodge more.

 

Yeah, the more I think of it the more it just cant be done. Sure its a smoken deal for me, but it just doesnt make a lot of sense to unload my almost paid for Toy for a huge payment. Guess just gonna mob the Toy for years to come and keep on with my light wieght trailer and tent package

 

Onto another topic, I havent gotten home yet, still in california but when I last drove the Taco I heard a metallic pop/click/clank noise in the front end when backing out of my driveway and again when i rolled about 50 feet down the road. happens both in the turned and straight wheel positions. Any ideas? From what I have read people said I need to check the torque on lower A arms or possible u joint or possible ball joint...and one answer was drive it till parts fall off, any ideas?
