Truck Hunting

[CaptainCanuck]

I'm going to be on the market here for a newer truck (it'll probably be bought used since I have around 18,000 to spend) and I'm not too sure what I want. I like the new Dodges (especially the Rumble Bee) and Chev's (the Silverado 1500 SS) but other than that, I don't know what other types of trucks to check out.

I like sportier looking trucks (cab size doesn't really matter, I just don't want a long box), it has to come in 4X4, and it has to be fairly new (2003 and up). Anyone have any suggestions?

not 4x4 as he said he wanted. I think some of the Harley edition fords came in 4x4 and are very nice looking trucks

I'm happy with my Titan. There are some pretty good deals on used ones right now.

[JJs450r]

didnt catch that but ya the newer harley editions some are 4x4 my buddys got a 06 harley f-250 on 37s pimped out truck

[Kickstarts-suck]

said he has 18k to spend..

A new harley F150 base price is 36k msrp so used is going to be pretty expensive aswell. Also think they come in 4x2 or AWD

all I can say is look around, go to used car dealers, Craigslist.com, ebay.

[bulkdriverlp]

for 18k you are looking at probobly a '05 4x4, anything newer most of the time is over 20k. harley davidson trucks are a lot more than 36. a '08 crew cab 4x4 is 34k

Chalk another vote up for the TITAN. I had a sierra previously and not dogging GMC I loved that truck but the Titan's a lot better truck. More Power, more room and over all nicer cleaner interior. My GMC was SLT Z71 2002 ext. cab my Titan is a SE King cab 4x4. I got my Titan in November for just over 18,000. Ohh yeah it drinks the gas though. I mean like 13 in town. Hope this helps.

i bought my Z71 about two years ago and it was an 02.($18,000) it had 6 in fabtech suspension lift wiht 2" body lift and 35" tires. i sold it cause gas was hard with those big tires but i regret it so bad. i like it much more then my 2wd lariat f-150. the ford is nicer but the chevy was a little more sportier and i just seemed to like it better. but it's always in personal preference. they both drive great.
