New York Hillbilly · Post by **New York Hillbilly** » Tue Jul 11, 2006 12:47 pm

I'm on my way to work so I have to make this short. (a first...lol) Been looking at trucks all morning and can get a Dakota 8cyl (18-20mpg) with power everything including 6-way seats, windows, locks, etc. automatic transmission, air, 4x4, Club Cab...........22,600 with 0% financing. Tacoma for the same money buys me a 4 cyl, 2 door extended cab, crank windows, locks ......4x4 but a real plain jane. Anybody out there own Dakota trucks? Give me the real deal!
Thanks,
NYH...................off to go make some dough to pay for it now.

Neither, get the H3, the hounds will love the ride. Or, at least buy a Ford, so the stock I bought will go up

I will vote for dodge , at least usa still owns it plus 0% financing and employee discounts . Even though i work for gm toyota is a great piece of
truck but dodge has warrenty galore

loaded...pw,pl,tilt,cruise,v8,6 way seat,bedliner,trailertow, i mean loaded up...

Owned a four banger Toyota years ago... Decent truck, but if you're going to pull anything large a four banger just isn't going to cut it. I eventually traded out for a v6 Toyota with bells and whistles... Another decent truck, but never got the gas mileage that it should have.

Funny thing I ended up paying same price for the v6 Toyota as I did for my current v8 Chevy. I'll stick with the v8, which gets better gas mileage than the v6 Toyota.

Take Jimmy and Tracy's advice... go with the v8 Chevy. As for the bells and whistles.... they're kind like a super model. Nice to look at and hold onto, but after a few years they're going to tear up and cost a heck of a lot to fix.

NYH, I am actually here in service but have several years with gm as well
as plenty of good stories but here goes

06 1500 CREW CAB (FOUR DOOR) HAS EVERY AVAILABLE OPTION GM OFFERS 4WD LEATHER Z-71 PACKAGE HAS THE LT3 OPTION PACKAGE
ALL THE BELLS THERE AINT NO MORE TO PUT ON IT . 42000.00 MSRP
I CAN GET IT FOR 30550.00 THIS IS A FULL SIZE NO MID SIZE OR RICE BURNER . Keep another thing in mind gm has the highest resale value of any line always has and always will , hope this helps.

Tracy,
Are you a salesman at the dealership and what town is the dealership in? What would you give me for trade on a 02 Ford SuperCrew 4X4 Off Road with 66,xxx?

Right on PAhunter,, how much of them Chevys, Fords and Dodges are made in Mexico was my next question??? Keep the oil changed and your Toyota will be with you for well over 300,000 miles easy!!! Can you say Tundra V8,, case closed. We probably employ more Americans now than any car company in the world...
