Truck question
 

Ford. But what sort of stuff are you going to doing with the truck? Pulling trailers? Home Depot runs?

Truck question
 

Hauling equipment is the main purpose. I don't see a trailer being involved all that much, but it could be necessary from time to time.

Top Gear and 5,000 Somali warlords can't all be wrong. Toyota Hilux/Tacoma.

Truck question
 

why do you hate America so?

Truck question
 

If it's not heavy duty equipment, you might expand your horizons beyond just Chevy and Ford (and Dodge, of course). Both of those certainly are good starts, but consider whether they are offering trucks that are more heavy duty than what you'll need at the top end of your duties. If so, consider more than just the domestics to include other options, like Toyota, Honda, and Nissan. The Ridgeline is a good option, from what I've read and heard, if you don't need a heavy duty hauler.

6 Cyl Toyota

Truck question
 

The Ridgeline isn't good for hauling. It has a "trunk" built in to the
truckbed. The floor won't hold up as well as other trucks. They're more for the suburban cowboy.

On the other hand, the Toyota Titan is a great truck, built in Texas, with the most powerful engine available in anything other than the GMC Denali. Of course, fully-loaded, it will run you about $30,000.

Get a Sierra SLE with the basic 350 short-block and it'll run for about 500,000 miles.

Truck question
 

The Titan is a Nissan, no? NTTAWWT.

Acura RDX
 

I ended up going with the RDX, which is pretty sweet. I got a helluva deal, and it's much (MUCH) easier getting things in and out of the trunk.

I hear they're pretty nice. I don't know that they're worth the spread over a Honda CRX, which is virtually the same vehicle, but then, I also don't know what kind of deal you got.

Truck question
 

You're right. It is a NIssan.

Acura RDX
 

I only paid about $3k more (a friend knows the owner of the dealership) than I would have paid for the CRV. The RDX has a significantly nicer interior. Plus, it has a turbo engine and has similar 0-60 results as the TL. The CRV drove like a lawnmower.

Any recs on these? (Seriously). Gas, electric start, mulching, motor drive.

Brands? What to look for?
