New truck?
Should I, or should I not? I've about decided that diesel pickups are too damn
expensive. I'm looking pretty seriously at this: http://tinyurl.com/27ehnzo Any comments? Any experience with this beast? Consumer Reports gives it a great rating, and the damn thing will tow over 10K pounds. -- John H All decisions are the result of binary thinking. |

Any experience with this beast? Consumer Reports gives it a great rating, and the damn thing will tow over 10K pounds. Definitely. It makes perfect sense to spend $34,000 on a used truck three model years old and pay $700 more to get it here. Go for it! -- I'm not a warlock . . . I'm you! |

If I was going that deep in the hole.... especially for a used truck, it would be 4WD |

If a post is attributed to me, and it isn't from a PC or a MAC, it's from an ID spoofer who hasn't the balls to post with his current ID. The magnificent Boatless Harry |

I only bought the RAV4 18 months ago after the lease on my Ford Ranger 2WD expired. After driving front wheel drive vehicles since 1984...... that truck made me nervous in the snow. The rear end sure liked to jump out..... I had 100 lbs of bagged sand in the bed although I only had the original equipment all season tires. |

What would an ID spoofing moron who lives in Florida or Georgia know about snow? We had a significant amount of snow here last winter.

If I was going that deep in the hole.... especially for a used truck, it would be 4WD I am not sure why anyone in Northern Va would need a 4wd. That is needless complexity and lower gas mileage for a feature you might only use once or twice a year in a freak snow storm. I had a Jeep for 5 years across the river from him and I may have actually used the 4wd for something where I really needed it 6 or 7 times. I probably should have stayed home and enjoyed my fireplace but I had a Jeep.. Most of the time I was just out on the beltway heating up 2 extra gear cases full of 90 wt. When I bought my truck I saved the $3,500 on the sticker by going 4X2 and I saved on the mileage by going with the 15 to 19 rather than the 13 to 17. |
