Truck opinions again....

Nice looking truck! Is that the diesel? How's the ride and cabin quietness?

 

I've only seen bench seat in the front on a a manual 3500 Cummins in the Laramie trim, not on the smaller ones up to the 15 models (mine's a 15).

 

That's pretty much when mine started to fall apart. If he starts to get leaks, tell him to run and trade it in.

 

Ride is a little rough as this is the off road package but not much different than my Tundra. The limited I drove and chose not to buy because they were a little flashy for me drove like a fricking Caddy! It was seriously plush. Cabin noise is minimal. Worst thing you hear is the turbo whine which I kind of like.

 

Good to hear it didn't break already..it is a Nissan...the Japanese GM

 

Don't you mean Japanese Town and Country.

 

Wish they would put that diesel in the armada

 

I used to not understand when people would say that when I had my Titan but now that the wife's Rogue, with less than 15k miles keeps developing issues, I'm starting to get it. It's been in the shop 6 times in the last 30 days for things like the power tailgate not working or the car not being able to read the key fob and start. Also, her heated seats won't turn off. Add to the fact that I never got rid of a vehicle with less than 200k miles but the Titan fell apart at 155k, I'll never own another Nissan. Unless, of course, I could get a deal on a GTR

 

So what's the verdict on the Titan?
I was rear ended a couple of weeks ago and they totaled my vehicle, so I'm in the market for a new truck.

 

OK.....I might have located a decent deal so this is the FIRST place I thought to share it and get some feedback from those who might be in the know!!!

I'm looking at a 2016 Laramie today, crewcab, 67" bed, EcoDiesel, leather trim buckets, heated seats front & back, blah blah blah......it's nicely loaded.

It does NOT have the air suspension, power sunroof or 76" bed which if I were 'building one' I would have wanted but think I'll survive without them. Sticker is $55,535, this sales rep didn't seem to waste any time to offer it up for $46k.

Good deal or do you think it's possible to find a better deal out there?

Those of you with the short bed, any regrets? I don't know if 9" will make a difference for me....(no disgusting retorts, I'm in the zone.....the truck zone)

Already spoke to my friend who has the ED with the air suspension, he reassured me on the standard suspension, says I should be just as happy with the ride, he says the biggest differences between the two will be when loaded up....that won't be often enough for me to care....I don't think. lol


A trade-in is involved, I ended all discussions when they offered me roughly 3-3.5K under what I was expecting, not even 8 miles down the road I get a call saying they'll give me 2 more grand so I figured plus the tax savings I'm pretty much at my number. Considering I was needing to dump roughly $800 into it for tires and brakes I think I'm actually minimizing the loss and not having to deal with the headache of listing and trying to sell it on my own.....and assuming it takes me a few weeks to sell on my own, I'll lose the discounts currently available on the '16 models, I'm pretty sure I can't get the same incentives/discounts on a '17 model.

Thoughts???

 

^ do it

 

i would have bought this one if it had been available back then:

Love mine after 6k miles.

 

They had engine replacement issue on a national level for a period, not sure if resolved.

As in, they had a backorder they couldn`t keep up with for a while. Like ford 6.0 and 6.4 cracking heads and pistons bad.

At least do some research first, or go buy a bullet proof Cummins 5.9 or 6.7!

 

I have 6 days before my lease is up on my 2013 ecoboost fx4. Cannot fucking decide. Slightly used Tundra 2014 limited 20k miles immaculate. And a slightly used 2016 ecoboost lariat 7k miles. Has to be crew cab 4x4. Ford just has so many more options than the dated tundra. Planning to buy and keep it for awhile, unless Ford or Denali offer me another crazy lease deal.

 

There are better deals out there or push them on the price more. I just picked up a 2016 Ram 2500 Laramie Longhorn, 4wd, CCSB, 6.7 for $50K($68k sticker). The dealers are wanting to blow out 2016 inventory right now.

 

Ive only put 4000km on my 2016 XD, but i love so far. Glad I bought it.

I bet these can haul a lot more than they advertise.

 

I think it's a decent deal, but can you live with the short bed?

 

17s quarter mile, and it is heavy. That doesn't bother you day to day driving?
