    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    Honestly that's bareable my Dodge probably had twice as much chrome and it was just disgusting. Your truck still looks great, thankfully its the pearl white so it helps "offset" the chrome a bit. if it were like red or black it would stand out a bit too much. I've just always liked the sportier...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    Yeah I don't think I would own a new vehicle and not have 3M on it. My Tacoma has 3M on the entire front end (hood, bumper, grill, headlights, etc), mirrors, and it has the rockerguard stuff on the rocker panels. Yeah I can't stand chrome, end of story haha. My Dad bought me a dodge truck when I...

    Cuba

    I went to Cuba over Xmas 2008. All in all was a pretty good trip. We stayed in Varadero. I found Cuba to be more of a culture shock than Mexico, like mentioned the people here are extremely poor, the country is extremely poor. Its very beautiful though, the beaches/water, etc are much nicer...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    I've driven an 09', not sure how much difference there will be in the 2011's/12's, but I wasn't overly satisfied with the trucks. Agreed, the Ecoboost I think is going to be the future of pickups as someone has mentioned on here already lol. It doesn't sound like a very powerful truck, I think...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    Yeah I definitely do not like the bright flame red, but the candy apple red's are really, really hot. I didn't like them until I got my Tacoma, now I'm not sure I can live without it. I do like white, but actually I'm far more impressed how clean the candy reds look compared to white when...

    This is the truck we're after... with the ecoboost..I could probably do white as well but I have a thing for candy red :)

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    Overall it was a very nice truck and I think it suits our needs/wants a bit better. Just need to work out the pricing. Also, the FX4 Ecoboost with the luxury package (similar to Lariat) is extremely hard to get, so we could be waiting for a while and might even have to do a factory order on a...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    SO.. we test drove a 2012 Ram 1500 Sport - Fully loaded, and a 2011 Ford F-150 Ecoboost, fully loaded. Apples to apples I think the Ecoboost is the way to go, honestly I found the Dodge to be a bit of a nicer drive for me, it hugged my little frame, was a lot better in terms of blind spots, etc...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    I actually really wish my boyfriend would sell his little SUV, buy a different truck so I can keep my Tacoma, because there's been times where we've both needed or wanted it for our own seperate occasions and of course because its mine he doesn't win, so sometimes it would be handy for us to...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    Im assuming every dealer is different, I was going by what Sherwood Park Toyota had listed currently for 2012 Tacomas, and they had no TRDs listed, just the bare bone 4 door 4X4's and they were listed between 36-38K, but the numbers are never going to be consistent and just because what their...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    No! lol I would never trade it in that would be a mistake. Just to get you up to speed, Mike.. I am considering selling my Tacoma privately. I owe 25K on it, dealers are still trying to sell 09' Tacomas with low miles for around 35K still, privately around 32-34K, so I'm thinking I could get...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    LOL pretty sure it was a divorce situation actually, it was a very messy house buying experience. Highly unorganized. They didn't even cancel any of the bills and we've gotten free power/heat for the last 3 or so months LOL.. the chitty thing about that was they weren't actually paying the...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    This is very true. Something is only worth what somone is willing to pay for it. Same goes for toys, houses, etc. The house we bought recently was listed for $420K..we paid $362K for it. Enough said LOL. That being said though maybe I won't get 30K for it, but I definitely don't think its out of...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    Yes obviously the blackbook worth is much lower, and I dont necessarily think its "worth" 35K, I'm just using that figure based on what they are listed for used right now on todays market. I don't think its unreasonable to think I could get 30-33K for it. If dealerships are selling 2009 Tacomas...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    I have 58,000 KM on my Tacoma currently (it had 6,000 when I bought it). Yikes, I definitely can't justify paying 35K for something that already has 100,000 KM. But that's just me. I definitely did not pay window price for my Tacoma, it was listed for 40K when it was already a year old and I got...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    Umm.. I dont think that was me LOL. Haha pretty much same deal I got with my Toyota. Was owners demo, had 6000km on it. Was listed for 40, and I got it with new finance rate for 36K. The fact you got a way more pimpin truck same year, same km, for the same price I paid for my 09' Tacoma is a...

    I would definitely take up your offer on your contact. If its someone you had a pleasant experience with its worth a shot, and I live in Sherwood Park so atleast its not a long drive to go check them out. Do you mind me asking what you paid for your Ford? Ball park estimate is fine..

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    I'm not sure, but I think one of the owners of this "GoAuto" is the same family that owns Sherwood Toyota, and several other dealerships, does anyone know if the last name Priestner rings a bell? Becuase the guy I bought my Toyota from is a friend of ours, and his family owns Sherwood Toyota...

    Thinking About Upgrading to Full Size Half Ton...Best Bang for The Buck?

    Can anyone tell me what this "GoAuto" is all about? They have tons of trucks, that seem to all be at Southtown Chrysler, that seem significantly cheaper than the other Dogde dealers I've looked at. Haven't checked what they have for Fords yet... but i'm curious as to why they seem so much cheaper.
