Got a new truck!
My Blazer's A/C quit for the second time this year. Shop said new compressor
and misc parts are needed... $800. This is after $300 worth of brakes and $200 worth of shocks last month. Time to trade her in. I picked up a kick-ass new truck Wed. 2005 Toyota Tundra. This thing is awesome. I drove the Ram 1500, the F150, and the Nissan Titan- all 4 door 8-cyl. If the dodge sales guy would have pushed a bit harder I probably would be driving one now- it was the second I drove after the Ford and I really did like it- until I took the Tundra out. Oh yeah... this is on topic. I'm gonna pull my boat with it! (Came with classIV hitch, brake controller, tow package) JR |

Oh yeah... this is on topic. I'm gonna pull my boat with it! (Came with classIV hitch, brake controller, tow package) JR I almost bought a 2004 Tundra regular cab, 6 cylinder auto to pull my boat. The dealer used it as a parts pickup & delivery vehicle. They wanted $21,500.00 CDN for it, plus wanted to charge me the usual fees and delivery charges attached to a new vehicle. It only had 12500 km but the front tires were already noticeably wearing on the shoulders. I'm betting a lot of short quick trips were made over it's year of service. I wrestled with the decision, but realized it wasn't the right vehicle to share with my youngest son, a 23 year old who just graduated from university this month. BTW...Consumers Report has rated it the best full size pickup a couple of years in a row. |

YEA YEA YEA! I have a new F150 and when I'm on the road it doesn't even
know that big Lund is back there, It never misses a beat passing or cruising, To bad you didn't try the truck pulling a load and then made a decision. Good luck anyway.
