Possible new truck hunt - yaj yak's adventure of 2019
- Thread starter Yaj Yak
- Start date
thing that sparked this, was new 6.2 super duty's and reading reviews.
being lightweight AF & the 6.2 having plenty of grunt- they run out pretty good for a gasser hd truck.
This color is what i realllllly like.
Silver spruce- kinda grey/greenish. but they are not moving on these at all right now really... so it's going to be 60k to get leather, mid to upper 50s for heated cloth buckets.
sport package looks awesome on these- but unfortunately the LED Lights (almost necessary to me if spending 60k+ on a vehicle?) aren't available in this package.
I wanted to drive a gas 6.2 truck to just see how it was- so I drove this one.
I like the "TRUCK FUCK YA" factor of these, they are HUGE- just under 7' tall bone stock. I like the idea of aluminum for corrosion resistance...
the upfitter switches make me feel like im piloting a straight up jet, which is kinda neat, til i remember I'm not.
so it is plenty quick for a big ol' truck. would win in a drag race against my current truck for sure.
what it does worse than my current truck? it rides like a goddamn hay wagon. sweet fuck, i thought i was losing a tooth by the time i got the truck back.
maybe it needs a lot of weight in it ALWAYS to ride better? i mean of course 3/4 and 1 ton trucks ride better with weight in them, but fuck, the unloaded ride was ridiculously uncomfortable compared to my current ancient truck.

I really like the f150's- the huge pickle here- and one salesman said it, another alluded to it- since a lot of what are being sold now, are "DADF150's"-- 6 & a half foot beds RARELY exist in upper trim levels, especially with max trailer/tow packages like I'd be wanting.
I drove a 3.5/super crew 6.5 bed/max tow truck. this is likely the best deal for the money if you don't care about gadgets and gizmos.
0 % for 72 months, 41k after 12k off- ford is literally overhand throwing incentives at these to keep it's market share.

my personal, totally subjective issue with these, is unless you get an STX, they are not great looking, well, and they look fucking ancient. have these trucks been out for 9 years now? who knows. no one knows. henry ford designed it i think. (flamesuit engage from the incoming dadf150 crew)
oh and XLT & down hvac controls are lame as balls for something with a 50k msrp.

I like the new sierra 1500's a lot.
multi pro tailgate feels gimmicky at first, but now i think it's kinda neat. whatever. it's there on the upper trim levels no matter what.
this made me annoyed... the RES+ and SET- logos, aren't actually buttons, they are directions for which way to flick that nipple thing...
while to the left and right of the scroller wheeler, those are actually buttons, where you push, on the logo, for what you want it to do... someone wasn't thinking.
I drove one of these 6.2/ten speed combos. it's fucking sweet. they move the fuck out, they are smooth and quiet when they need to be, and just a comfy truck.
also, gmc is throwing 10k at SLT trucks right now it seems...
the new camera tech is fucking awesome, as i parked, a camera for the front came on, to show how close the right front corner was getting to the curb on the right side. pretty fucking slick.

this is another thing GM did really right with the redesign FINALLY
made the back seat finally "f150-huge"
i can sit in the back, pointy elbows, knees, and all, with the driver seat where i drove the truck, comfy as fuck. something previous gm's couldn't do while ford has done for almost 10 years?

if you don't care about bigger motors or towing a lot, you can find super legit trucks for mid 30's with 0 % for 72 months.
This is the 3rd thread now?!
IB4 Sierra purchase.
i was bullshitting in the bored thread.
[MENTION=73]tinfoilhat[/MENTION] made some random thread in off topic for some reason? who knows, he's short, i let him have his temper tantrums.
first legit thread for this hunt.
also suck my balls.
Knee caps too pointy 2/10 wouldn't suck balls
Also confirmed this makes three.
Have you thought about doing a cab swap?? @deezus

This is why I want one. If I buy new, I plan to run it into the ground and will likely have at least 2 kids by then - you could live in those fucking back seats
I don't care about towing....yet. The motor, I would like it to not feel like it's going to fall on its face every time I accelerate.
[MENTION=127]wombat[/MENTION]
check it.
2.7 turbo motor has PLENTY of guts.
$35k.... 0% for 72

cough Tundra cough. I get the hate for them, but the engine and transmission combo has been proven to be dead nuts reliable, they can tow over 10k, they are quiet and ride nice, and the new ones looks pretty cool IMO. I think the 6.5 foot bed is only available in the double cab. I have fit 4 full grown midwestern dudes without any complaints. I don't know much about the tech though.
soooo my pickle is the door situation, i want four "real" doors, and a 6.5 bed- the cab situation because for when childrens happen, i want to be able to put whateverthefuck car seat behind the driver if need be and not be cramped up front.
if tundra had their gargantuan cab with a 6.5 bed (from the factory), i'd for sure consider it, for that roll down back window alone.
shutup and take my fucking money.

Ew it's black. Won't own another black vehicle again
And I think i'd need at least the option that has powered seats + rear window.
[MENTION=127]wombat[/MENTION]
ford's rear power window is about big enough to fit a grande burrito through from your favorite mexican restaurant, don't get hung up on that. this one has it though, and a fancy powered seat for ya.
without really trying to look at all-

so [MENTION=344]Gav'sPurpleZ[/MENTION] recommended this as well. the pickle i have/had here, is if they give me horseshit on trade for my truck, ive just done 10 hours of driving for just a field trip south.
