New Truck

[huntinghagen#12]

If SportinWoodies doesn't have a limit of ducks draped across the hood of that by February 1st I'm going to be sad.


Jumping it over a bonfire would suffice.

I am not one to need a new truck in fact I really dont like anything available currently but I keep looking at these vehicle prices and wonder if it all comes crashing down due to vehicle debt or if they keep ratcheting higher because people are dumb enough to pay it. It is insane what people spend to ride.

Status has a price and most are willing to go into major debt or go broke to appear wealthy. They'll continue to pay it no matter how high the price. For the "gram" if for nothing else.

I just crossed over 240k in my 06 tundra. I think about this often and always end up happy with what I have.

I have 170,000 on my '05. Hoping I get another 10 years before I have to see if KRT can resuscitate it.

I am rougher on shit than most. Dodge is the most fragile. Also made by union labor. I do my level best not to feed that monster.

Union labor? You really think the UAW is only assembling Ram. Might as well cut your power off, quit buying food , clothes etc. everything we buy has a portion of the Union affiliation . You feed that monster everyday .

I do my level best not to feed that monster. If I have a choice, I avoid. Unions are a cancer.

What motor is that?

Looks like a 5.3 direct injection from the 2014-2019 era

Buy a F150 with the 5.0L and have them remove the start/stop feature. For V8 purists, it's about your only option left in the 1/2-ton market worth a shit. Or go into a F250 with the 6.8L or 7.3L pushrod V8's, your feelings won't be hurt because you're use to shitty mileage with the Tundra but, will love the extra power. Plus, the seats go back far enough for you to put those size 15's under the dash.

I don’t see catch cans on diesel trucks.

Never seen one on a gas engine either, not factory.

get one with working blinkers

Been thinking about a 5.0 as a hunting drive to work truck

Exactly what I did and why I did it. Reasonable happy. Miss my little Tacoma, but it’s been adopted by my son so we still spend time together.

Ford with the 5.0

yup..almost bought a 2018 Lariat. I guess the 10-gear is problematic.

[adamb61085]

Just went through this back and forth on what to buy. My Dad ended up getting a 25 Sierra so i bought his 15 5.0 with 120k on it. Damn thing had been washed twice a week for the last 9 years. Should be a great hunting and ballfield truck after i degrandpa it.

Loved my 2019 GMC and really like my 2024 Chevy LTZ loaded. The 10 speed tranny on the new one has more get up and get it than the 8 speed did. Never had a problem with the 2019 and let her go with 59000. I did have the oil changed every 3000 and tranny flushed at 45000

Stay away from the Chevy's. I've had 7 in the last 10 years. They're junk.

Why you keep buying them? Hell, I bought my first one in 22yrs in ‘20 and remembered why I didn’t buy the POS after it was in the shop 9X before 1,000 miles. I won’t make that mistake again.
