That's why I've never really understood the concept of the Raptor, Power Wagon or the FJ's. They're all supposedly built to beat the schit out of but cost a fortune.

If I had the cash, I'd love to run a Pinzgauer..

I've always wanted a Pinz or similar but I think it'd turn into a full time job.

I don't really four-wheel but my plan is to tow bar this bitch to camp and use it accordingly for the weekend.

too late, the Honda civic gets a bit better mileage


but don't know if they have the 0% financing available

just gonna have to check comfort, ride and features. geez it takes time to buy a freakin car

only have ever made one car payment and that was on the 02 Gmc with 0% but it was only for 3 years. payments were hefty but I like using other folks money for free


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

I think we will go look at a Corolla tomorrow. I have a 2012, 4 door Tacoma with the long wheelbase, so I could have a 6' bed. She would do a little better with something a little smaller.

I've been thinking about a long bed 4 door so I can fit the kids and quad. Wife has a 2013 Camry hybrid that gets 40 mpg and goes like a raped ape. About $25K.

Fj's and raptors are popular around here but I've never saw one with mud on it. Rubicons with big tires and a winch are all over the roads around southern Wi going from work to home to the gym...

Let me save you a bunch of time.

If it doesn't say Toyota, don't buy it.

I'd let the bitch ride in the truck and tow the Toyota, but that's just me. laugh

[quote=Dutch]I put 330,000 miles on my Tacoma before my son decided to test the airbags. I bought a little Sonoma that gave up with a bad #6 cylinder at 130,000 miles.

Sample of one, but just try to get me to buy another.
Dutch I am with you bought a 79 PU with diesel and four(4) engines and 60some K miles later, I swore never another GM product and to this day I won't even rent one. Cheers NC

I've had the opportunity to put a bone stock Rubicon through rocks and them [bleep] do exactly what you'd think a jeep with front and rear lockers would do.

True.

To them high rollers, a winch makes a lot of sense around these parts:

Not kidding you bud, you might want to drive one. We're not talking Prius or Corolla here.

My wife drives 80 miles a day average, 40 mpg makes a big difference in the gas bill in a month, she got mid 20's with a Mazda that we all hated and broke down alot. We apply gas savings to the payment, so the new car ends up costing about $125 a month more than the old Mazda. They make it attractive, and they're damn good cars.

I average about 10,000 miles a year. I'm guessing the car would get about 6k a year.

Yeah, a Raptor would be cool. 12 mpg...not so much smile They do have a locking rear diff, and special suspension. They actually are very comfortable, and will go to some fairly rough places. But it's still a 12 foot wheelbase and 6000 lbs, and that's not so hot off-road.

I made it here with my '04 F150 4x4, last year. Got back out, too!

I'd actually make someone a decent deal on the red truck.
