New Truck

[evil0ne]

Well the mighty Suburban bit the bullet Friday night and the insurance company is cutting me a check for $15,000 so I need to find something to replace it. I have a potential partner on the boat who has a Titan so I may look at some cars but I'm still leaning towards a new SUV. Anyone, I'm looking for some advice from everyone here. Attached below are auction prices for some of the vehicles I'm considering.

Go for the GMC

Just my opinion i would hold off, with the way prices at the auction are here, they cant stay that way for too long, but on the denali and escalade two months ago they were 2-3 grand less, but i guess if fuel stays the way it is and there are no trades it might stay high, kind of a crap shoot.

Kind of tough to hold off when you don't have another vehicle.

Evil;
Make sure you get enough truck to haul that 24V. I pull mine with an F250 Super Duty. I have pulled it with a F150 before, but it sure struggled. I felt that the trans. was over working.
I just would be leary pulling that big boat with a Cayenne, or 1500.
J.M.O.
Good luck with watever you choose.

Just not the Porsche. Fun to drive, and pretty, but a horrible vehicle. I know three ex cayenne owners, all had bad experiences. I'd go for the Yukon personally.

Is there really 15K damage to the Suburban? Maybe fix it? Otherwise, get something with a real frame that's about as heavy if you plan to tow. Just because you have a boat partner, doesn't mean you have a truck partner too, does it? I'd think you need your own capable vehicle.

How are you on manheim? GMC IMO

[dinfusino]

I'd go Yukon Denali.

Ive always been a GM guy. Never had a problem with any of them.

Why not?

I talked with the boat partner and he has a Titan and if I buy something fun he has no problem switching for the time I need it. They say it was $10K in damage on a $15K vehicle so totalled it is.

Ok, I have to ask what the heck happened to your burb?

[da.bell]

My guess: Fire Hydrant

[talltigeguy]

Good luck with whatever you get!

my first thought too, 15k in damages...wow! I'd fix that beast unless there is alot of engine damage.

Otherwise I'd go with the Yukon personally.....
