Gotta trade in the exploder....any ideas on good pickups? Looking for next to OR new, manual, nothing fancy....

 

F-150, get the employee discount going for you

 

New titan has a standard v-8 & extended cab...they sell them around here for under $20K.

 

Tundra. Tundra. Tundra.

 

Looking for a pickup, not a fullsize, fellas. V-8 = too much gas, and that's why we are trading the explorer in in the first place....

 

Get the tundra V6.

 

I4 or V6 Nissan Frontier or Tacoma.

 

hop on the employee discounts that GMC, ford, chrysler are havin

 

what are you looking to spend?

Id suggest the Ridgeline if youre willing to pay a little more.

 

nope.....cheap is the name of the game, here...

Will likely be going with a ranger...will post pics as soon as it is done.

 

I like the new S-10 also...guess it depends on who has the best deals...can't beat the employee pricing+rebates that these guys are giving away right now.

 

If you get an S-10, get a V-6. THe I-4s are worthless. Load them up and you will be able to run faster then the truck they're such dogs. .

 

Toyota Tacoma... V6 if you're doing light duty towing, otherwise get the 4cly if it's a commuter vehicle...

My brother had a 2003 extra cab V6 taco, but this past summer got an 2005 access cab 4cl taco. He wanted to maximize his mpg and didn't do any towing...

Resale sucks on domestic small trucks (ranger, colorado, etc)...

 

Well fellas, finally went and made a choice....


and the winner is......














A 2005 Dodge Dakota -


3.7L Magnum V6
4x2 Club Cab
Patriot Blue
MSRP - 20,705
Purchase Price - 15,600


We take delivery on thursday....will post actual pics then

 

Not bad...

Didnt like the Ranger?

 

They sold the one I was looking at before we were able to purchase, and the others I tested sucked.....plus they are ALOT smaller than the dakota, and I'm a "bigger" guy

 

Well boys are girls (are there any of them here?? ), here are pics of the new ride....










She already has two coats of NXT on her....


I love getting to work on new paint

 

Good pick Jared
*Cough get away from NXT if you want a wax that lasts* Use regular meguiars or Perfect it line *

 

Nice truck for 15k


Congrats

 

Really for $15k that's a steal! My only real complaint would be those wheels, but what are you going to do, for $15k you take the good with the bad.

 

I use NXT for a few coats...i like it's depth

then normal meguiars over that

 

Exactly....when the OEM tires are done, I'll likely replace the rims and tires (depending on if it is used as a work truck then)

 

Thanks

 

Nice buy for $15k... Nice lexis nexis cup damn law geeks

Already have an alpine installed too, I see...

 

that you found the LN cup....

And damn right...i took the stock system for about 4 days, and then put the alpine system in. I also replaced the muffler back with a magnaflow and custom piping out

 

and please don't flame on the dual 10" alpine box in back...I haven't been able to build a small box for 1 10" to clean it up yet

 

Sweet new ride. Do you work for LexisNexis? I did a bunch of data integration work for one of the companies they bought a few years ago... then for LN itself.

 

Thanks..!!

No, I don't work for LexisNexis...I am a second year law student, and they give all sorts of nice little shit away at the beginning of the year to try and woo us from WestLaw....

 

Good man
