Re: i need to buy a truck
I've driven a 2017 RS V6 Camaro with a 6 speed, It's fun, but putting up with the cramped interior and blind spots isn't worth it unless you're going whole hog with the V8. I'd rather have a Caddy. if you go the V6 Camaro route make sure you get the dual mode exhaust option.

You can get an off lease Caddy with 25-30 thousand miles and a warranty for 25k

Re: i need to buy a truck
if you get the cadillac, remember which lane to get in when you drop the kids off at school. the other mom's hate when you do it wrong.

Good points. I'm fairly tall so the cramped interior would bother the piss out of meCaptQuint wrote: ↑Thu Aug 06, 2020 3:19 pmI've driven a 2017 RS V6 Camaro with a 6 speed, It's fun, but putting up with the cramped interior and blind spots isn't worth it unless you're going whole hog with the V8.

Re: i need to buy a truck
In a similar situation, I leaned towards buying a used truck. It is the best way to strike a balance between cost and quality.
In my quest for the right vehicle, I explored various options and ultimately found Boom and Bucket's used equipment offerings. They had a 2014 Ford F-150 available for just $16,200. The manageable monthly payment option of $336 sweetened the deal, which fit perfectly within my budget. Opting for a used truck from a trusted source like Boom and Bucket was an excellent decision. It offered the reliability I needed without the hefty price tag of a new model.

sound advice...where were you 3 years ago?Evil.Fkn.Mean,Nasty wrote: ↑Mon Nov 27, 2023 9:57 pm Both the 2009 Ford F150 SuperCrew 4x4 and the 2012 Ram 1500 4x4 are solid choices. The F150 is known for its reliability and strength, while the Ram 1500 offers a comfortable ride and good towing capacity. Consider what's most important for you in a truck – durability, towing, comfort, or fuel efficiency. Also, don't forget to check the vehicle history and get a mechanic's inspection before buying.

Re: i need to buy a truck
i had the 2009 for a month it was a roach. i then bought a 2020 raptor and put 35k on it and sold it a few months ago but picked up a ford lightning in october of last year and its by far the best truck i have owned. i have over 20k on it and there is no maintenance or gas costs.CentralTexasCrude wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2023 12:11 amSo, it's been 3+ years.
