I need a new vehicle

You need to learn how to yield right of way.

 

This was one of my favorite cars I've ever owned. I only sold it to buy a diesel truck and toy hauler. Before that I towed a 6x12 all over with the FJ without any issue. Daily driving the FJ had a sense of fun to it too. I really loved that truck and would love to get another.

 

D'Oil just bought one for his wife this summer.

 

Nice! Has he bought an M2, Golf R or a 911 for himself yet?

 

Yeah, right.
He not only hasn't upgraded, but he's moved down market since his latest piece of Andretti-quality driving totaled his Golf. He's driving his late MIL's old Civic.

 

Oh gawd, I might have to throw him out of Tire Kickers United for THAT!

That guy is worse than me.

 

Loaded down they're okay, but I spent a week (twice) driving about 2000 miles in an empty F250 around Oklahoma and I felt like I'd been beat with a stick afterwards.

 

Real men drive vans!

 

Extended cab, 6.5ft bed. And Oklahoma has probably the worst roads in the country.

 

Make no mistake, he is still kicking tires with great ferocity. The dealership where he got his wife's FJ also sells Porsche. There's a salesman there who thinks he sold D'Oil a Cayman S.

 

There was a douche off at the car wash yesterday between a cockhead in a 3 series that was "M'ed up" and a Doucheduster in a white Cayman. I couldn't decide which got the gold and weirdly, I was knocked off the podium and maybe out of the top 10 by the Lexus drivers.

 

Hurry up and read the forum rules while you can still edit your post.

 

68-72 2wd C10 with an LS1

 

Apologies - didn't read the rules and missed that this was a violation (totally on me) missed the edit time frame to rectify it. Won't happen again. If it's possible to delete the post, please do.

To the OP - have had an E55 for over 10 years and 100,000 miles and started putting bolt ons at 40,000. Parts are expensive but it's been pretty damn reliable (it's never been my daily) so my acquiring parts have been limited. Brakes, tranny, and engine are more than capable of handling a small open trailer, consistently get 20mpg at 80mph and they are dirt cheap today. Just throwing it out there as an "interesting option" that will tow a trailer, fun to drive and can handle a family (especially in the limited capacity that you are intending it for).

Also have a f-250 crew cab short bed - not the most fun unloaded - if you're considering a pick up - definitely would go with a 1/2 ton for what you stated.

 

Yeah, I'll kill it this time but only because I wanted to cockblock Papa from banning someone.

 

Never thought I'd thank someone for a cockblock. . .

Thank you!
