Been looking at all the employee pricing deals, figured it was a scam, but they are cutting about 7,000 to 8k off a new truck, which is pretty damn good, not sure I can get enough for my truck on trade in, but if I can I might do it.

But gas?

Have you been looking at Dodge? I really think highly of that Cummins Diesel. The potential of that lump is amazing. My cousin had one that had been stepped on pretty hard and I've never run across a diesel with that kind of throttle response, not to mention soul-crunching amounts of torque.



And believe this or not, but I ran into one on a backroad once while I was on my sportbike, and had a little trouble getting around him because that truck was surprisingly fast on the straights. I would come out of a corner behind him and get fogged when he opened it up. He had a big ****-eating grin on his face when I finally got by. I'm sure that one had been stepped on as well.



Blah, blah,



Cheers

I looked at the dodge, but I can't afford the diesel, as far as gas, the milage is gonna be about the same towing, if not better on the big truck, I get about 12 miles to the gallon towing. I only use my truck for towing, otherwise it just sits, so I am not too worried about gas as if the prices get too high I won't be able to run the boat so I won't be towing LOL

got an idea.. sell truck, buy honda.. save gas and on payments.



keep boat parked in lot of marina, and pay the dude who owns the marina 10 bucks whenever you want to drop it in the water.



then borrow friends truck at end of season to tow it home.

First off there's no "end of season" here. Second, I have thought about storing it, however you then have to buy from a fuel dock which is usually significantly more then on shore, not to mention I like to take the boat to the keys and i don't always launch out of the same place.



Although I did decide to **** that idea, the deals are good, but not great. I am going to throw the air suspension in my truck so it doesn't ride like a tank without the trailer on, I've got helper springs in the back now.



That should do it. Figure all i am really gaining on a bigger truck is cabin space, the tow capacity isn't really that much more.

I heard it quite often when I was 20 and driving a brand new Lincoln.
