    Here is the thing for me. I dont really need the tow capacity. This rig for me is solely a DD and and adventure rig. I am an admitted dieselphile. I used to own a a 2500, CTD, just a basic 4x4, when I was running the farm. It was great tow/haul. Man that truck would get stuck. I thought...

    This is more of a stream of conscious post. I would like to hear some opinions. I have been personally looking / considering and seeing alot of others talking/ purchasing 35-50k mid-size rigs. Then you add a shell or some sort of camper, extended fuel tanks, etc.. Thats is some coin. I...

    Ranger

    Thank you for the update. The fuel issue does seem annoying. I am weighing the options of the a new ranger build or a chevy bison diesel. I first wrote the bison off, but after 2 test drives, I like the truck more and more. I might just keep my current truck as well. I have had 2 people...

    Comparison shopping: Colorado, Gladiator, Tacoma

    I dont think I would ever trust CR, Book value, or even half the auto reviews out there. Half the truck review videos I watch, they are engaging lockers and using 4wheel low when you could be driving right past them in an AWD VW wagon ha ha. Also, I went and test drove the ranger last night...

    Comparison shopping: Colorado, Gladiator, Tacoma

    Admittedly, I have not read all 27 pages of this thread but I think I have the gist. I am alittle late to this party. I dont think I need to go into the 3rd gen tacoma complaints, I have them. I sold mine after 6 months. I am back to a 1st gen tacoma. I am always looking and just generally...

    Ranger

    I started going through Jims thread a few days back. What an amazing journey that guy is having. I am glad you and him are giving it the thumbs up. As far as the cockpit is concerned, how is the visibility out of the windscreen? This is one of the the top reasons i sold my 2017 tacoma. If I...

    frontier diesel

    I have been wondering about the new turbocharged direct injections engines. The old stigma w/ turbocharged engines, was the turbo going out and costing a fortune. It happened in my moms old volvo when I was I kid. I remember my dad grumbling about . ha ha I think ford put a turbocharged direct...

    frontier diesel

    I agree the usa emissions requirements make the market for diesel's in the states very tough, it also keeps the car turnover high. I have a few friends who work in the auto industry. We here in the states buy and lease new cars more than any other country. The auto industry does not build...
