Truck discussion
-
Dave makes a good point. If you want a "truck" to tow the big loads and haul the mail then a 3/4 ton or 1 ton is the truck to get. Now then take a look see at what manufacturer offers those. Hmmm.....don't think Toyota offers 3/4 ton or the 1 ton. Honda doesn't either. I guess that just leaves us with those crappy domestics.
-
Well...they don't make one yet....Nissan has a turbo diesel in the works allegedly, and Toyota has leaked that they will have a 3/4 ton in their 09 lineup w/ rumors that it will be diesel as well.
-
it kinda seems like you are comparing apples to oranges, this truck can tow this much, this truck is this comfortable, this truck beats this one in a race. I think for what Chuck bought his truck for, light hauling, movin the fam around, lookin good the Tundra prolly is the best choice. Yea 1/2 isnt the best for hauling the world, but like you said, if you are gonna be pulling like that, you shouldn't have bought a 1/2 ton truck. If i recall correctly, Ford actually won 4wheelers truck of the year, but that is based on offroading and whatnot, there wasnt even a test for towing...

Dodge is a bad choice. It is awesome being left on the side of I94 due to a shredded belt and toasted water pump
It it a very bad choice to buy a Dodge, but it is a great choice to buy a cummins..................
If you add them together you still have a better choice than if you bought anything else
-
Can't argue with the cummins, just wish that Dodge had stuck with the headlights from the 2001 models, those were sharp trucks. Same thing for GM the 2001 was the best looking one, its been downhill since then. For the record anyone that thinks that Toyota is good looking needs to have their eyes checked.

Speaking of trucks, does anyone know the idiot in town that debadged his ~2000 Chev and put Cadillac emblems on it?Ya, I do. And he didn't stop there...the entire front clip (bumper, grill assembly, headlights) are from a Cadillac. I don't get it.
And I saw another one a couple of days ago that did the same thing. This one had chrome rockers as the only difference.
We call it a "Chedillac".

I get it with the 88-98 trucks because the caddy front clip is damn good looking but dont put the badges on thats weaksauce.
