Looking for a quad cab pickup
I've spent the last 6 1/2 years getting the crap beat out of me by my rough riding Dakota and I don't really want another one.
I've seen a few Explorer Sport Tracs that are reasonably priced, but I'm worried that they're cheap for a reason. I know the Explorers of the 90s were garbage. I do like the Chevy Colorados but the resale on them is ridiculous. Hell I may as well buy a Toyota for what they're going for. And they have a 5 cyl...wtf? Anybody have any experiences with either of these? |

what you want a pickup like 60% of america, have fun paying 15k for a 8 year old truck with 250k miles on it. The market on pickups are reeruned, you might as well buy brand new because they're almost an investment now days.

When I bought my F-150, it was getting the same MPG as the Dakota. I get 19-22 on the highway. From what I hear, the newer full size trucks can get up to 25 MPG HWY now.

The 2.7l turbocharged v6 in a crew cab 4x4 gets you 23.
It can also tow 8500 pounds. Thats about the same as a ram with a hemi. Those springs arent good for towing, and you really arent picking up anything in the ride from a properly set up leaf spring truck. |

I'm in the market as well. I don't really need a big ass truck, but now that I have a little dude I want to start going camping and all that jazz. My problem is that I don't have a clue to what I might want to pull with the thing down the road, so should I just bite the bullet and buy a 3/4 ton or a 1 ton diesel so that when I want to buy some giant 5th wheel camper I can? I figure that's the only way I can ever get the wife to go camping.

I have a 2005 Quad Cab Silverado that has been basically flawless. Needs a little work now but its been a gem and never let me down and I have used it to pull a ton of shit on trailers and in the bed.

What do you use your truck for?
I use Suburbans and Yukons for my business. I love them. They have a lot of cargo capacity, keep things dry, and are well built. |
