New GM Hd?

[Clutch]

I thought it would be a good vehicle for my better half if that's what she decides she wants. The trucks work for me as well. But, I think the size of the next truck will depend on what we're towing.

I like the Rav4, but don't think I like it enough to actually spend money on one. Have been driving trucks for too long I think.

Tried talking her into getting a Subaru, but she doesn't like cars. She drives our Trooper now and loves it. Don't think I can get her into anything smaller.

She saw a Pinz for the first time the other day, she says to me..."What is that!?...I want that!"

@Clutch, have you had her drive a Forester? It's tall enough that at a drive-thru window you look the person in the eye like a truck but you don't have to step up into it like a truck. But it's also not really down like into a car. It's kind of interesting. Obviously it's unibody but it rides pretty rigid, actually noticeably more than my truck, which is already quite a bit more firm than stock with 650 coils, OME with an extra leaf and FOX shocks. My memory of the 2005 4Runner we had for a while is that it was also softer riding than this Forester.

I'm good with whatever she chooses next. She'll be the primary driver of it, not me... Happy wife, happy life

She hasn't...what she really wants is my Tacoma, she loves driving it.

Suggested that she can drive the Taco, and me commute in a Subaru, but she doesn't want me in a car with all the heavy truck traffic.

Not sure if a Tacoma counts for that. But at least you have an excuse for an Acela now.

Ha! Ya know...the Pinz was on a trailer with a M1078, assumed it was heading to the Idaho Motor Pool about 25 minutes up the road from us.

Was by there the other day having a look-see.

They have a pretty ************** M923 crew still sitting there.

 

[DaveInDenver]

Not sure the M923 crew is $70k cool, though the interior is sort of done so maybe.

Cool, but not $70K cool...I just want to drive it for a day.

 

[Todd780]

70K would buy a lot of KD. Just sayin...

KD?

KD Lang cd's???

I meant Kraft Dinner (Mac & Cheese). But, you could buy a lot of KD Lang CD's for 70 K too.

*right over my head* LOL!

I tried googling it first. Some basket ball player, then Knock Down, then KD Lang... ha!

Ah. I thought you just reaaaaally liked KD Lang to spend that kind of money on her CD's... lol

I think if I actually had 70K to spend, I be too scared to spend it. Because then it would be gone and I'd be thinking of all the other things I could have done with it.... Maybe. Or, I'd just blow it right away.

Ha.....ah no.

I couldn't even fathom spending $70K on vehicle. But people do!

They do. If I had 70k I think a portion of it would go to a vehicle. But there are so may good uses for that kind of cash. I'm guessing a midlevel version of this 2020 Silverado HD with a diesel would be 70.... Loaded Limited F350 are in the 90's here.... 90 grand... for a truck.... just nuts.
