Hey OG
My 04 Silverado 3/4 ton extended is a towing monster.....6000 milesin 3 months and no issues.Leaving today for 3000 miles with 9000 lb load.
To me the Chevys and Fords are the most reliable and LEAST offensive looking of the new trucks.All have available extended warranties if quality is a real worry for you. 04's can be had for very good prices and incentives now.

Does anybody here own and tow with a Titan? They certainly look like an excellent deal. The father of my friend has one, full filt LE 4dr, and it has been back to the dealer with a leaking tranny twice in a couple of months. Only used for hauling groceries at the most.

Also considering a used Duramax that I can find for similar money or a Sierra Denali. If the new Hemi Grand Cherokee wasn't going to be so f-ing expensive, I might consider it too. My current '96 does all I ever ask of it.

Wanna tow to Hallett in October together?

Paul -

All I've heard/read/experienced causes me to avoid the Dodges. Stick with the Ford and get a rattler, you'll get better mileage.

Other thought, buy a Landcruiser and a trailer. Space, quality and hauling...

DOug I had a lnadcruiser and I sold it. My wife kicks me everyday for selling it.
Guys I cant to the F150 supercrew because the bed it too short. I cant do the ford F150 extended cab
becasue the back seat is not large enough for the boys.
CJ the Chevy has 0% for 60 months I will have to check them out. I like the sivlerado SS
Dodge has the perfect cab size in the quad cab. but you guys are scaring me. Plus I like the 345 Hp and 400 ft pounds of torque but youre still sacring me.
I might check out the chevy. I may go to lancaster and drive all of them includign the Titan

What Danny said. I bought one to carry 5 people and light loads from Home Depot to do light house work, not towing. So interior room is my priority. The bonus is, to my surprise, how fun it is to drive this truck (my first one, btw). Oh, and the 5 speed tranny is awsome. But I would wait for the 2005 model. Mine has some minor glitches like warped brakes, rattle on dash, etc....But all taken care of by dealer.

Don't Titan's only have a 5.5 ft bed as standard? That's a dealbreaker for me. If you tow you'll have to fit stuff like trailer ramps, extra set of wheels, etc.

Kevin,

First I need to make sure I can make it in October. My wifes birthday is on the 3rd and my sisters on the 4th. If by some chance I get away with it, we can trailer together. I want to do that track so much but the timing is never right.

I'll see you in September. BTW, I've got some SPG's in the car now (with harnesses) if you want to go for a ride.

Since the bed size wasn't my priority I didn't pay much attention but I think for the crew cab, it's 5.5 and 6.5 for the extended cab.

OG,

Ditto Doug's comments on Chrysler products. Our customers for electrical products, mostly commercial and electrical contractors have Chrysler product horror stories. No one buys Chrysler products as work vehicles around here. IMO you should buy what the guys that depend on their trucks for a living buy - Chevys or Fords. On the "general public" side, many personal friends and relatives have similar horror stories with Jeeps, Durango's, etc.

Hey Danny, so you haven't pulled the trigger on anything yet?

kev

Wife and sister? You're going to have to do better than that. I went to a DE two weeks after my second son was born. I never hear the end of that one.

Did you get a new or used F-150?

George A

Kevin,

I got a new one, actually down in Austin. My father in law has connection. I'm almost afaid to say what I paid for a $40K truck. I got rid of my Jeep Grand Cherokee and am about to donate the MB to the SPCA.

Hopefully the pics will come through.

BTW, why do you guys need such big beds?

George

Do it Do it Do it!! OMG Do it! Sorry, but I feel the same way about those things as I do Porsches....eyegasm! (I know I'm gonna get smacked now )

I know I know they are gas hogs and chrysler has a history of building useless cars, but the look is killer! I am a big sucker for the Dodge Hemi!!! I am getting one someday, even though it goes against everything I know

'03 Hemi extented cab with the chrome package, running lights, dual chrome exhast and a four inch lift kit (or more) :-D
