New Truck

[evil0ne]

My girlfriend was driving 6 of us home from a nightclub at Planet Hollywood and as we were making a left onto I15S from Tropicana the back end slid to the right and then to the left when we hit the retaining wall of the entrance ramp pretty squarely on the right front framerail (where you see the tow hooks on the Z71 models). Really not that bad, but they don't want to fix it.

American Made boat deserves American Made tow vehicle

Why not?

Are you a dealer?

I kind of agree. I'm leaning towards the Denali with the 6L to match the boat too .

[shake-n-bake]

I dont mind having a partner on the boat and sharing it with him, but if I had to let him take my truck everytime he wanted to take the boat, i wouldnt ever let him use it. My truck is more like an extension of me and harder to part with even though the boat cost more. So I would get something that you can pull the boat with.

I agree, but the difference in my situation is the boat is kept in a slip and the truck is definitely not needed on most lake trips. I'm just not a truck guy and would rather have a Corvette then a Denali for 98% of my driving.

Toyota Tundra, 580hp.. 6 speed.. super crewmax. I have fords & chevy's in my fleet, but the toyota does the best job for towing! I think it has a lot to do w/ the 6 speed trans.

toyota also has a full size s.u.v. built on the same platform.

Wow. I wrecked my 'Burb almost the exact same way. Getting onto I80w @ 89. Short ramp and lots of Semi traffic = HIT IT! I hit and was was doing 65 by the end of the ramp but a Semi decided that wasn't fast enough and drove right through me. He clipped my left rear and sent me shooting across both lanes into the center divider and bent the frame. Bye bye 'Burban. My point here is, I went Duramax and have never looked back. I don't miss that 'Burb AT ALL. That thing was slow, heavy and sloppy. This was no base model 'Burb either. 2500 w/ a brand new 454. Compared to that thing, the Duramax smokes it in every category. Drives fantastic, tows light years better, just as nice as any Escalade or Denali inside except for the wood trim, better fuel milage, way more power and the ability to throw whatever in the back.

I'm just sayin'. Have you at least driven one?

I love my Duramax, but sometimes I prefer Driving my wife's car, she has a Lexus RX330, It is a nice suv, it is peppy and easy to manuver and really nice on the inside, not quite a corvette or porsche on the power, but a good quality vehicle.

How do you figure? The new Toyota Tundra has had a lot of problems since it came out.

Disclosure: I currently drive a GMC and Nissan, but have owed BMW, Toyota, and AMC Jeep. All fine vehicles except for the AMC Jeep.
