BFD what you think.. You are a poorly educated, broom pusher from some

are still infatuated with me, something like 75 posts a day about me
from the three of you.. Sweet...


Now that is a really funny post from our favorite little right-wing
twerp, the very same fellow who has no education and couldn't hang onto
a job cleaning out a horse stable.

It's not that we're infatuated with you, it's just that you are very
much like a wreck on the highway...there's almost a compulsion to slow
down and take a look.

Besides, you're my *designated" moron. You're the only one of the
moronic ID spoofers whose posts I read. Be thankful.

All decisions are the result of binary thinking.
When I did the build your own thing at Toyota.com, a double cab 4x2 with
5.7L v-8, off road pkg and spray in bed liner the price was $34-35k.
Cloth seats instead of leather, etc. but new.

And that's probably the MSRP...

Definitely. It makes perfect sense to spend $34,000 on a used truck three
model years old and pay $700 more to get it here. Go for it!

Not to mention it's only a 2WD model.
If I was going that deep in the hole.... especially for a used truck, it
would be 4WD


And what would A RAV 4 grocery hauler station wagon driver know about trucks?

Too expensive. a 3 year old diesel would be the same or cheaper. Nice
truck, but the 10K tow rating is max and towing the gas mileage sucks.

Well, I have to admit I like this one also.

I am not sure why anyone in Northern Va would need a 4wd. That is
needless complexity and lower gas mileage for a feature you might only
use once or twice a year in a freak snow storm.
I had a Jeep for 5 years across the river from him and I may have
actually used the 4wd for something where I really needed it 6 or 7
times. I probably should have stayed home and enjoyed my fireplace but
I had a Jeep.. Most of the time I was just out on the beltway heating
up 2 extra gear cases full of 90 wt.


Boat launching and off road camping come to mind. And there is the occasional ice storm.

Well, since it looks like you've made the plunge, I, for one, would like
your impressions on the towing experiences of the truck. Personally, I think
you could have made a better choice, but maybe your experiences will prove
me wrong.

What would you have suggested? I'm not tied into this one yet. It's getting
moved to Potomac Mills, but I'm under no obligations. Even if I put the money
down, I've got five days to return it for a full refund.

Well, let me know how it turns out. If you made a stupid purchase, I would
have been right in line just ahead or behind you. You will, of course, have
to listen to the anal twits here and their Guvmint Motors, crap, but I think
you made a very wise choice.

I made a pass on the diesel, this time, betting on the investments GM has
made in the product line. I don't know if you are keeping up, but the 2011+
diesel product lines offer a LOT of promises and innovations.

I'm assuming you got the Allison 6 speed. What is the rear axle ratio 3.73?

I haven't got it yet, and it's been taken off the site. Crap.

With a few minutes and a torch, you could turn that thing into a pickup pretty
easily!
