m looking into getting a truck for my next daily driver my chrysler is almost on its last leg. i was looking into a Diesel. i kinda want a Ford powerstroke diesel truck.
Me and my mom went and tested a 1998 Dodge ram cummins diesel and a 2000 Ford F250 powerstroke diesel I liked them both my mom likes the F250 better. Not as loud and smoother than the dodge and it has to be automatic because she will have to be able to drive it around she might be helping me with the payment on the truck. so she has some say in what I get.
My friend has a 02 Ford powerstroke and he installed a new downpipe and catback and got one of those hand held tuners and now that things hauls ass now.
If i get a truck by the end of the year it will prob be a diesel and i can spend the extra money into the notch and make it hopefully fast and reliable or wait till next june(my bday ![[Whoo Whooooo!]](graemlins/woowoo.gif) ) and get a Lightning.

General rule that you will thank me for years from now, if you can't afford to pay cash you shouldn't buy it. So unless you got the cash look for a truck you can pay for in your cash price range.
Food for thought: I kicked around the idea of buying a little hatchback (Civic SI, Beetle, Audi TT, Focus SVT, etc.) for my girl, cash is limited right now so if I spend 20k on a car, put $5,000 down and finance 15k plus tax and stuff I am looking at a 375-400 dollar payment, plus full coverage insurance, another $100-150 then you have to gas it up at $70 a week, thats = to 755 on the low side. I can think of a lot better thing to do with $800 a month than drive around in car.
Just in case you didn't know a car is the worst investment you can make.

And with gas prices the way they are why in the hell are you considering a truck for a daily driver?
--------------------
Yellow94GT never touched anyone's sig or banned anyone, so I'm going to quit spreading that rumor. It's not like I have any proof anyways. All yellow94gt and other mods have done is volunteer their time to help other people buy/sell parts, learn how to make their cars go faster and meet fellow enthusiasts. I'm a hater, but it's hard to hate on these facts. I have saved hunrdeds, maybe thousands of dollars here buying and selling parts over the years alone, but I don't care, this website owes me damnit, and I'll piss on it as much as I want. Us haters gonna hate. Why contribute to something when you can take for free?

That's exactly what i was thinkin lol.
But maybe his daily work requires a truck to haul stuff around ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
I'd love an f250 for my own personal use but i have no driveway large enough and gas would kill me. That's why i have a an 03 Tacoma double cab and a 93 Celica for daily gas savings.
I NEED A MUSTANG AGAIN ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)

If you want a truck to use as a daily driver I would suggest getting a Ford Ranger w/ a V6 and 5-speed. You can pick them up pretty cheap, they get ok gas milage (20+), and will still have a little power.

I got my 95 integra with 0 down, payin $100 more a month for insurance than the damn car payment ($150 for the car, $250 for full coverage). final price after everything is ~10k, the window price was down to 6200 iirc

i was also thinking maybe a Harley Davidson edition F150.
i want a truck becuse we always end up looking for someone to let us borrow a truck when we are hauling stuff around. my grandma loves doing landscaping on the house and slowing fixing pieces of the hosue and my mom is getting mad when we put like 15 bags of cement and dirt in the 500.
and my mom agrees thatwe need a truck becuase were fuckin up the other cars when we go to home depot.

Go ahead and pay $750 a month to haul concrete back and forth from Home Depot to your house. Or buy a beater truck that will do the same thing.
I laid the math out there for you and really if you want a Harley Davidson at your age, you will pay over $1000 a month minimum thats is considering you have enough for a down payment.
LIKE I SAID EARLIER YOU'LL THANK ME LATER!
And why a Harley to haul bags of concrete??? That's stupid.

Go ahead and hate me all you want, I know you wish you had one. And do your research on stock blocks and what kind of power they can handle.
And if I am not mistaken there are quite a few 11 sec and better Stangs running around here on stock blocks, so get off of my dick!

Whatever makes it happen for you! But when you decide about the future and want to buy a house, wasting money on a truck to tow your car and move concrete is flat out ridiculous, something to think about, the smart ones who succeed in life are able to differ between "wants and needs" you are discussing a want and sorry but working at FedEx is not go out and buy a Harley F-150 money, I am not putting you down but I was in your shoes at your age and wish someone told me to not waste money on car payments, I'd own 4 houses now instead of only 2, you have to look at the big picture, I can pull equity on either of my homes and go pay cash for whatever.
LIKE I SAID EARLIER, FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!

Best of luck to you, kiss your paychecks goodbye though, but at least you'll be in a nice truck and everyone will think your a big baller, but you probably won't be able to afford the gas after you make the payment and insurance and you definatly won't have any money left over to fix up your Mustang. All I am giving you is a dose of reality, like it or not it's the truth.

A turbo kit = 5 months of truck payments, or get the truck and that'll be for 60 months and if you make it to the end your truck won't be worth shit.
Try for a month to see how hard it will be to be without $1000 of the money you took home from work, it won't be easy.
You need to live within your means, at 18 years old and bringing home about $1600 a month if you work full time is not buy a $25,000 truck kind of money.
Your arguments so far are:
1. Haul Concrete
2. It's big
3. Only young once
4. Tow my Mustang
Those are simply pathetic excuses you are telling yourself, you "want" the truck but you don't "need" it.

Are you the same guy who just put a hellion turbo kit on your car, that base kit is 6g's---just wondering if you were the same guy- if not i apologize, because modding a mustang is also a bad investment, not that i dont do it though
