My Blazer's A/C quit for the second time this year. Shop said new
compressor and misc parts are needed... $800. This is after $300 worth of
brakes and $200 worth of shocks last month. Time to trade her in.

I picked up a kick-ass new truck Wed. 2005 Toyota Tundra. This thing is
awesome. I drove the Ram 1500, the F150, and the Nissan Titan- all 4 door
8-cyl. If the dodge sales guy would have pushed a bit harder I probably
would be driving one now- it was the second I drove after the Ford and I
really did like it- until I took the Tundra out.

Oh yeah... this is on topic. I'm gonna pull my boat with it! (Came with
classIV hitch, brake controller, tow package)

I almost bought a 2004 Tundra regular cab, 6 cylinder auto to pull my
boat. The dealer used it as a parts pickup & delivery vehicle. They wanted
$21,500.00 CDN for it, plus wanted to charge me the usual fees and
delivery charges attached to a new vehicle. It only had 12500 km but the
front tires were already noticeably wearing on the shoulders. I'm betting
a lot of short quick trips were made over it's year of service.
I wrestled with the decision, but realized it wasn't the right vehicle to
share with my youngest son, a 23 year old who just graduated from
university this month.
BTW...Consumers Report has rated it the best full size pickup a couple of
years in a row.

Consumer Reporst can't test a wet napkin.
