    +1 I had the option between the 15 & 16 and I took the 15 because the front of the 16 was just so damn ugly , I did like the interior of the 16 a lot more but I didn't like the placement of the ebrake on the 16, and noise just turn up the stereo and problem solved

    If you've got the time and $ do it! I just did a road trip zig zagging from CA to AL, absolutely worth putting the miles on the truck.

    Just got a shipping quote it would be like 1800.

    It's looking less promising. :(

    2300 miles at 20 mpg is 115 gallons of gas. National average for gas is $2.11, so $242.11 total. Are you going to depreciate the truck more than say $500(Gas + a night in a hotel and food) driving it there? I am guessing no.

    I cannot imagine a vehicle of any kind that I would drive from California to New York to get unless maybe it was free.

    Unless you wanted to take a road trip, I would do it if I had the time and money.

    Do it man! Road trips are fun. If it's the perfect one you want, I can see driving a ways. I can't imagine there not being another suitable one in the entire country closer to you, b/c you're pretty much going as far away as possible, but hey man I don't know your requirements. You do you.

    Let us know what you do!

    In your mind if you think it is worth the DRIVE go out there and get your Truck!

    Only thing stopping you is you!

    Dog friendly, with dog snot on inside windows, with of course a/c! Mag 16 inch wheels from a Mazda.
    Where are these trucks being made Japan, Mexico, or Texas? I know Texas is a State! Go to like Truecar.co or Cosco inform what options and color you want. Have a dealer locate, order a truck for you. Besides don't they salt the roads in N.Y.?

    I'd wouldn't feel comfortable putting 2000+ miles on it at a constant RPM for three days straight on a new engine.

    2014 is a lease.
    I would rather start fresh and buy a new truck.

    If mileage and time wasn't a problem I think it would be cool to tow it back with my current truck then sell it.

    I thought towing capacity was 6500?

    Edit: I forgot to consider the weight of the trailer.

    I think it's one year newer, with less miles!
