1999 Toyota Tundra, 1979 Dodge RAM Sweet RAM has over 250,000 miles on it.
Trucks, ugh.
Buy a truck and get a second career as a mover for free!
What's with the third option? Four wheels is a bit extravagent isn't it? I'm quite happy with either two or three.
2 bikes
1 car
75% of a truck
I'm glad to hear you have had such good luck with your Tundra. This week I am putting my 1993 Chevy S-10 up for sale. I bought it new and have had 140,000 reliable miles on it. It's too small (just had my second daughter), so I am getting a new Tundra LTD in November. It's going to be pricy, but I plan to have it at least ten years, so I figure I might as well get exactly what I want. I thought about getting a Ford F-150, but even with the X-Plan discount I get, I just could not justify getting what I see as being a lesser truck in the long run.Quote:

Have only changed oil, front brake pads once, and belts and spark plugs once. Parts for it as all toyotas are a little on the pricey side but it is worth it in the long run. I will get up and go and go and go some more. I recommend it totally. I got the SR5 access cab and it is plenty roomy for average height people (I am 6'4 so no one sits behind me) But I have ssqueezed 6 adults in it with only slight discomfort. Great Truck, Truck fan all the way!
1991 Honda Accord Wagon
1977 Chevy Nova
I may be a hillbilly, but I am not a truck person.
I can't wait to get an angry motor for that nova. Gonna get a 400 smallblock.
1987 Ford Ranger 1/2ton with 4 inch custom Black Diamond/Rancho/Homebrew suspension lift, custom for jumping things. Parked right now for some work, 283,000miles.
Only work ever done was fixing stuff I tore up. Original motor, tranny, and transfer case, had the axles beefed up with titanium ring and pinion, and custom solid aluminum driveshafts by Point Spring and Driveshaft of good ole' Fairmont, WV, I am a mountian climbin' hillbilly, and proud of it!
2003 Ford Taurus 245 HP 3.0 Liter V6 with headers (stock) and 80mmTB with power chip(boosts to 260HP), B&M Power Filter and Avistart4500 remote starter. Getting a shift kit and transcooler as soon as ford gets 'em in... 1900miles. Daily driver, gonna see those first 2000 in the first 2 weeks.
Ford Ranger 4x4, X-cab, 4 door, 2002. It's my third Ranger, and I like them so much, I'll probably always have one!
Wife's vehicle is a 1998 Explorer Sport 4x4...another good and dependable vehicle. She'll probably always drive those, too. [It's also the primary "dog transportation device."]
Yeah, I guess we're yuppies, too, but we live in a "snow state" and both have jobs we absolutely have to get to, 24/7/365, so being able to plow through snow is essential.
I agree with you totally. Toyotas are, as I heard it once before, bulletproof. I think you will love that Tundra, especially how responsive everything is to you. Mine is a 2000, would love the 2002, especially the sport edition one that just came out, it is SWEET looking. Good choice, 10 years, I just tripped 100000 and it is just the beginning.Quote:

Cars.
I commute and can't see any reason to use a pickup or SUV on the highway just for the added advantages or more pollution, fuel consumption and less safety.
Not to mention that about 2/3 of the vehicles I see in the ditches or jammed up on the side of the highway in the winter are pickups/SUVs/minivans...
But I'd love to get my hands on the Nissan Frontier to lug the mountain bikes around. :D
that being said ;)

1989 Ford Bronco II with the 2.9 liter V-6..when you get 35-45 inches of snow every winter.(once or twice in 24 hours)..you gotta have 4 wheel drive..but you know..I did have one of those ford courier trucks once..drove it till the floorboards rusted out, then rebuilt them with plywood..ended it's life with 279,000 miles on it.
I agree. I think pickups and SUVs are overrated in winter weather. People get over confident, and then end up in the ditch. I use to drive a Mazda RX-7 over to the lakeshore every day in winter and never had a problem. For those of you not familar with Michigan weather, the west coast of Michigan gets snow constantly in the winter. The weather comes across Lake Michigan, picking up moisture as it comes, then dumps 90% of it in the first ten miles when it hits land. Just like Lake Erie and Buffalo, NY if you have ever been over there.Quote:

Well when you live in a sinking swamp, Ford Suvs = teh sux
But if for any odd reason I ever got a truck I would only get a ford.
Just hate those soccer moms that always seem to drive the bigger Ford Suv's.
But here or North Texas, snow and Ice aren't a big deal, the whole state shuts done, so you pick something you just enjoy driving.
I prefer sports cars, but as I get older, Sedans and better coupe's are looking more practical.
i like trucks i have a ford ranger 97.
:D
