I'm thinking it's time I buy a truck.

I'm looking for a full size, 4X4 and pretty much I'm open to suggestions and need to do some homework!

What have you got and why would you recommend it....and why would you buy something different if you could??

cheers

First vehicle was a 1990 Ford F-150 XLT Lariat. Bought it for $500 on Craigslist and she was incredible. Oh the virginities that were lost in that beast.

Love the new GMCs though and hear good things. What will you be using it for though? Do you need a big truck or just a half ton?

meant to add that....just a half ton will be plenty for me. I'm working in Calgary...which is a three hour drive from home, so I do that drive every Sunday night or Monday morning and then return Thursday night or Friday...this time of year, that drive can be really shitty. Took me nearly 6 hours last week with all the snow and ice etc.

I also have a 20 foot ski boat and a couple of utility trailers to haul and then for general work around the acreage.

gas mileage will be a concern...minor concern I suppose.

Well then in my opinion you really can't go wrong with a Silverado or a Sierra 1500. Gas mileage is going to suck any way you slice it. However I'm pretty sure the hybrids get almost 25 highway which is pretty damn good for a v8.

don't get a shitty ford. If you get a Ford, go like '97 or earlier.

I drive a Silverado 2500 extended Cab. It's big and it's bad

gas mileage is horrible though. I spend like $100 to fill it up and it only lasts about a week

Agreed, the last good ford model was the 1997. My buddy used to have a 1997 F-350 Powerstroke Diesel. Thing was beast. After that they are teh fail though.

If Fords are shitty, why were they the only American Auto manufacturer to not need a bail out?

Getting back on topic, how new of a truck do you want?

newer than an 88!!!

I'm thinking just a couple of years old. I don't want to pay for brand new so I'm happy to let someone else eat the crap out of the day one drop in value!!!

I'm looking for 2008 and newer I think right now. I haven't done any homework, but so far I really like the newer Dodge 1500's, and I've never really been a Dodge fan

You'll get a thousand different opinions... I know people that love Fords and people that hate them... same for every model.

If I was getting a truck, I'd get a pre-'97 Ford with the straight six, or a 90's model Chevy with a V8.

So, so many choices... crew cab, extended cab, short wheelbase, long wheelbase, etc., etc...

Hemp oil, also known as hemp seed oil, is extracted from the seeds of the hemp plant (Cannabis sativa). Unlike CBD oil, which is derived from the flowers, leaves, and stalks of the cannabis plant, hemp oil comes exclusively from the seeds. This oil is rich in nutrients, essential fatty acids, and antioxidants, making it a valuable addition to health and wellness routines. https://medium.com/@monishaverma_92522/-daef18bfb5b2 https://medium.com/@SmartHempOilCanada/smart-hemp-oil-canada-your-natural-relaxation-companion-ca4e307590d7 https://medium.com/@SmartHempOilCanada/smart-hemp-oil-canada-is-legit-2024-updated-report-57ec3be80afb https://medium.com/@SmartHempOilCanada/smart-hemp-oil-canada-is-it-legit-or-fake-customer-benefits-039ce8affd43 https://medium.com/@SmartHempOilCanada/smart-hemp-oil-canada-au-are-these-gummies-worth-the-hype-dd3063c92ddd https://medium.com/@SmartHempOilCanada/smart-hemp-oil-canada-your-natural-solution-for-comfort-and-calm-7473fae83b26 https://medium.com/@SmartHempOilCanada/smart-hemp-oil-canada-hoax-or-legitimate-9c13e4cd27ee https://smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au.webflow.io/ https://smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-00817f.webflow.io/ https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-your-natural-solution-for-comfort-and-calm-dd46e6a48d6d https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-is-legit-2024-updated-report-05c49320d0df  https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-your-natural-relaxation-companion-b82a898a7317 https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-price-benefits-work-buy-042f8d5d6077 https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-hoax-or-legitimate-29fb6f22bdb1 https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-what-are-actual-customers-are-sayi-ng-2024-update-aa850ffa8ae7 https://smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au.webflow.io/ https://smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-00817f.webflow.io/ https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-your-natural-solution-for-comfort-and-calm-dd46e6a48d6d https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-is-legit-2024-updated-report-05c49320d0df https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-your-natural-relaxation-companion-b82a898a7317 https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-price-benefits-work-buy-042f8d5d6077 https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-hoax-or-legitimate-29fb6f22bdb1 https://medium.com/@SmartHempGummiestrialau/smart-hemp-gummies-reviews-au-what-are-actual-customers-are-sayi-ng-2024-update-aa850ffa8ae7 https://uoc-sandbox.powerappsportals.us/en-US/forums/general-discussion/260e7c3f-a116-ef11-989a-001dd83040e7 https://uoc-sandbox.powerappsportals.us/en-US/forums/general-discussion/83e2f685-a116-ef11-989a-001dd83040e7 https://uoc-sandbox.powerappsportals.us/en-US/forums/general-discussion/9cbdf409-a716-ef11-989a-001dd83040e7 https://uoc-sandbox.powerappsportals.us/en-US/forums/general-discussion/03c6031e-a716-ef11-989a-001dd83040e7  https://uoc-sandbox.powerappsportals.us/en-US/forums/general-discussion/08052e3f-a716-ef11-989a-001dd83040e7 https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-keto-acv-gummies-for-effortless-weigh-tickets-909790797767  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-advanced-apple-cider-vinegar-keto-gu-tickets-909792382507   https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-premium-apple-cider-vinegar-keto-tickets-909794759617   https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-for-efficient-weight-loss-fat-burn-tickets-909795832827  https://www.eventbrite.com/e/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-for-efficient-weight-loss-fat-burn-tickets-909798250057    https://medium.com/@KellyClarksonusa/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-your-ultimate-fat-burning-solution-5077d85bcb3f https://medium.com/@KellyClarksonusa/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-for-efficient-weight-loss-fat-burn-8e596c94d18a https://medium.com/@KellyClarksonusa/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-advanced-apple-cider-vinegar-keto-gummies-for-weight-loss-22cfbaa836c8 https://medium.com/@KellyClarksonusa/lean-logic-keto-acv-gummies-premium-apple-cider-vinegar-keto-support-for-weight-management-50868b11ecd1 https://medium.com/@KellyClarksonusa/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-premium-apple-cider-vinegar-keto-support-678b9a8b53a5  https://medium.com/@KellyClarksonusa/kelly-clarkson-keto-luxe-acv-gummies-advanced-apple-cider-vinegar-support-for-weight-management-db2e37e43087

      Oh it's nothing elite, but we played without Horn last year.  Gilly playing at 80% is better than any CB2 we have had in a moment.  Luvu was fun, but he was out of position in Evero's defense.  Jewell is a tackling machine and has had over 100 in 3 of his last 4 with his highest being at Denver with Evero.  Pass Rushing and CBs are strong red flags but they also were last year.  On paper it's the same or maybe slightly better than last year and Evero had them keeping us in some games.  Hell our 2 wins were due to the defense and the kicking game.

      I mean best case scenario is horn plays 15ish games, brown and clowney replicate last years stats, we sign gilmore and he reverts back to form after his injury but even then we still lack pass rush and our linebackers are dogshit.  And thats best case.  If horn goes down and if clowney starts showing his age then it could get ugly.  We are going to miss the tenacity of luvu.
