Trucks- The good bad and the ugly.

[Ruune]

Anyone with a Titan out there?? I think I saw anhaney with one...Anyhow, I will hopefully be bringing one home this weekend if it gets here, I'll take some pics as soon as I can. My dealer couldn't find me one anywhere in the southeast as there are not very many 4x4's in Florida so I ended up getting one straight from the factory. Then the wonderful weather last week up north delayed it getting on a truck so they sent it by train to Orlando, hopefully it will be here this week since it was actually supposed to be here last week. Well, enough ranting about my yet to be delivered truck.

A friend of mine has a 22v, 22vé, and a RZ2 that he uses a Titan to tow with- he really likes it.

Your friend has too many boats...perhaps I could take one off his hands for him. I mean come on, my Sierra would feel left out if it knew that another truck got to pull 3 boats.

Any of you guys tow with an Expedition? Just curious because the lease on my F150 is up in a few months and we're thinking about getting the Expedition this time instead. I'm curious to hear if there is a big difference in towing because of the wheelbase length.

I've towed our 22Ve' with our Sequoia and Titan. Wife's Sequoia does marginal; back end a little too soft. Titan tows it no problem but I need to upgrade from the stock tires. The Goodyear's they put on at the factory are crap. Considering how much I trailer, I will probably go with Michelin MTX or BFG AT; both have a stronger sidewall and would be better suited to tow. Since this pic, I added a Leer toneau cover. This truck is a third car for us, so it really only sees Home Depot and the Lake

They were used for "Our First Set." and "Its Whatever." I believe the latter two boats are sponsor boats.

Looks familar the truck is a third car for us also Home Depot, and the lake as well. It pulls the 24V no problems.

We have an Expediton that gets tow duty most of the time. The shorter wheel base is noticible on the freeway for sure. I you like to tow at 70mph+, I would consider the longer (EL?) version. The load leveling suspension is quite nice also. It will have to do until the new Sequoia comes out. I wonder if they will make a longer version ??????

Dont let her know you think so!

I towed my 20i through the mountains of VA with an Explorer. There were some times I wasn't sure she was going to make it all the way up the inclines. I was glad I wasn't pulling anymore boat than I was.

Nice truck! I really dig both the "classic" and new body styles! I bought my '07 on 7/31 and just turned 9500. Glad they have 100,000 mile warranties now! One other thing I find interesting- it monitors its own oil life, and I just had the first oil change at 9500 miles.. this is per the computer's recommendation. Talk about oil life! I usually change mine every 3-5k.

[Razzman]

I like both styles too. The wife prefers the classic, the nice thing was i got a killer deal on this as the new style just came out so i stole the thing at $28K out the door! Unheard of then for a 4x4! Yeah i'm waiting for the computer to let me know but with as little as gets driven it may be awhile!

[time2kyl]

I bought the new 07 style Sierra in August. I love it, when I saw the new body style come out I was sold. I'm at 6k miles and the computer says I have 30% left on my oil life. The side problem is now I am addicted to XM.

Now that's funny.

What you guys need to think about is what kind of driving you are doing?
If it's during the spring and summer months while towing your 5500 lb. boats then you should be changing the oil much sooner than what your computer is telling you. The computer is not calculating what kind of conditions you are towing or driving under.

Hell your V8 gassers are cheap to have the oil changed, what $40 to $50, I'm paying $95 bones and I have no problem with that cause I plan on keeping this truck for 10 years.

I have an 07 Ford Powerstroke 350 and I change the oil every 3000 miles because I am towing our camper and or our boat and that takes a toll on the oil.

Also keep in mind your tranny fluid, if you are doing a lot of towing it is cheap insurance to flush and refill with new annually.
