Pickup truck? Any ideas?
 

Hey my friend just blew the transmission on his chevy impala for the second time with only 70 k or something like that on the car and he is sick of the thing. He wants to get a truck now and I suggested the Chevy Silverado or the new Nissan titans because I've heard a lot of good things about them despite the name Nissan. He is looking at this one in particular. I was wondering about any feedback from you guys? Thanks guys

for 15 grand and being a 2004 model year you could get a 2500HD Duramax for that. i dunno seems alot of money for an OK truck. Or even a 6.0 powerstroke. depends on what he wants to do with the truck also. if a grocery getter why even bother getting a full size and waste gas? but if hes gunna tow or anything worthy of a full size truck i wouldnt get a titan.

I wouldn't buy a Titan, if you are going to go ricey get a Tundra. If it is just going to be an everyday conveyance I would get a 1500 Silverado or an F-150. The diesels are cool but if you don't need it for a work truck or heavy towing they don't serve much purpose (apart from being very, very cool). You can find decent 02+ silverados for under $10,000 now, sometimes way under

ford powerstroke 6.0L for everything from drag racing to towing an excavator !

I say BIASED OPINION!!!!! I call Shenanigans!

i Call a fair opinion from a current owner operator?

come for a ride with me and you will be biased to!

Sorry man, I am in the Duramax camp, you are the ENEMY!

so you are biased as well

Ahhh but I didn't plug my bias, I gave him an objective response from personal experience
