Well for one apparently the Terrorist truck is an oil leaking pile, so that's Juan.
+Automatic
+Towing advantages ?
Those were the :plac: reasons I believe.
Did not hear about the "oil leaking pile." So bascially Nissan trucks are shite after Bro Forks1 and 2?
Apparently leaking valve cover gaskets and rear diffs? :iono:

Greater tongue weight rating for trailering, better at towing in general. Deal was right, price was right, so he went for it.

What's he going to tow though? Have I missed the purchase of a boat or travel trailer? Or is he towing his Miata?

Auto trans is the biggest one. Same number of cylinders, same color, same body style, cab and bed config, etc.

But, driving back to back... man the Colorado is a true :aintcare: machine. I got 21 MPG driving back home from the :dillerman: and to work. I would've gotten about 17-18 in the Forks. Small gain, but noticeable over longer trips.

Deal was ideal, too. I essentially got a $39k truck for $32k. Traded mine in for $23k which was about $2k less than I wanted, but the market really wouldn't support any more.

Additionally, the Forks was due for all the fluids, had a rear diff leak, had a valvecover seeping, had one tire dryrotting and one tire had a cut in the sidewall, so at least 2 tires would've been needed, too. I just wasn't feeling like stepping foot in another Nissan dealership after my last runaround, and I really wanted to support Dplac.

I'm satisfied. This will tow the :meata: better, get better empeegeez, has all the latest tech (Carplay is fucking :tits: man), my base payment went down, and I start the warranty and maintenance game over again. All I paid out of pocket was taxes and tags and fees (about $1k).

It was all about the :dill: - I got to flip into a newer truck than I would have if I leased one.
:fuckyeah: :wub: :koolaid:

The deal as explained makes a lot of sense to me, but yeah, people are just lighting piles of money on fire around here lately.

What are you going to tow the Miata to? Autocross?

What are you going to tow the Miata to? Autocross?
Tennessee. Maybe a track day or two in the future.

I don't really see me getting rid of the Miata for a long while unless it's to get out of fun cars entirely and focus my attention on another hobby.
So are you going to buy a trailer?

:wrong: :wrong: :wrong:

This according to you and your money/value philosophy on any decision in life, cannot be anything more than money. Money money money. Cost cost cost. Incessant focus on value, or LACK of value. Driven and OWNED by YOU LOL :) You have trained us. Live it and own it. You have instilled this in all of us!! :)
