I was invited to attend the first training event General Motors put on for the new GMC Sierra. Minneapolis was the first of a 56 city tour. I'm neither a GM dealer/employee or a GM employee, so it was a neat invite. They had several Sierras in different configurations, and several Ford, Ram, and...

Because, um, you want a manual? You have only one choice, gas or diesel, and that's the Ram. Neither Ford nor GM nor Toyota nor Nissan offer a manual transmission in a full-size pickup anymore. Very few people bought manual transmissions when they offered the choice, so they simply stopped...

Second for the 245 75 16

You're going to get suggestions for all three brands: Ford, GM, Ram and you'll see all three brands represented in off road campers (ER, GXV, Tiger, etc) Any of the three will be good trucks. GM = IFS, both Ram and Ford are solid axle Any of the new diesels are pretty quiet. In my opinion, the...

The 2014 5.3L V8 is rated up to 23 mpg, the only EPA rating that has been released by GM. The 5.3L is SAE rated 355 hp and 383 lb-ft torque, and rated to tow up to 11,500 pounds in a half-ton. The 2014 6.2L V8 numbers were released today, as Chip pointed out, estimated at 420 hp and 450 lb-ft...

It's a simply formed straightforward piece. If the rust worries you, just have one made from Type 304 stainless steel meant for exhaust tubing.

Consider Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armors.... they are certainly better than the Dest ATs but not as aggressive as the Dura Tracs. 520 treadwear rating, Kevlar banding for rugged and quiet, special rubber compounds in sidewalls to resist abrasion and stone puncture. I've had them on two trucks...

Agreed on all points. I assumed wrong without reading an accompanying article. I went back, read an article, and came to the same conclusion you did. It's rather misleading when not in context.

A new 2013 6.7L tuned and stripped of emissions is likely a better truck than a 2007 5.9L "pre-emissons" truck. People are sheeple.

Looks like a clean Sub! I had a 2001 equipped similarly but with 4.10s. Digital climate control wasn't available until 2003. You'll love it! Let me know if you have any questions, mine has 249K miles so I've seen it all

Plug-in electric for "only" 22 miles, but 50+ mpg the rest of the time. So no big loss. It still utilizes the EV portion during normal driving with regenerative braking, electric motor assist, and powering accessories during start-stop. That's how it gets better fuel economy even when it's not...

Because he told us he wants to buy a NEW truck. Not a ten year old truck. He already has one of those.

Keeping items out-of-sight is the #1 way to make sure they won't get stolen. Once they see it and decide they want it, there's little that will stop them. Do you have a place for everything and everything in its place?

By posting this the Domestic section and not the Tacoma section, we can assume (at least subliminally) that you're looking for us to reinforce your predisposition to the Cummins. I would think most of us would help you feel good about that decision. Based on what you've said, I can't imagine how...

I owned a 2006 GM 3500 Extended van and a 2003 Ford E350 Extended Van, both 2wd. On the road, the extended wheelbase GM is significantly better. It tracks better with less sway. Esp if you have weight aft of the axle, and esp towing. Are you planning a lift or larger tires? With the long...

Sad that it happened, but there are a lot of good candidate motors out there. A turbo conversion would yield good returns, both operating and resale.

An early 4x4 7.3 diesel Excursion only had 1,000 or so pounds of payload from the factory. How much weight does the SUV conversion add? Probably not as much as you think.

He's asking about a manual transmission
