What one are you looking at
I was ogling a 2017 RAM 2500 crew cab....Hemi 6.4 liter....not interested in a diesel, but i like 3/4 tons.
Out of production for a dozen years, but I have always liked the Subaru Baja.
Compared to 30K plus for new, a low mileage truck could be a sound investment.
The wife has a 2017 Outback, her second. [;)]
7.3 CC 4x4. The same new is $60K
Hello Diesel Brothers.......?
With the price of new I'm thinking about a total rebuild on our 2000

Hello Diesel Brothers.......?
Hell yeah!!! The 7.3 is the best diesel they made.....that would be awesome
My God, man. Anywhere but Shelors!
LOL I've bought quite a few vehicles from Shelor..
So I think I will hold off for a while then Get ride of my car and truck and get one.
Almost talked myself into trading the Cruze in on something else. Then I remember this is supposed to be coming out later this year.

looks good but will likely have the 3.6 ltr Pentastar which is a turd of an engine.
Old adage of Guns and Butter.
Invest in guns not butter.
I buy a vehicle for the purpose of traveling from point A to point B, I couldn't care less how cool I look or not.
My Truck is for hauling 289,000 miles on it.
My Car is for driving back and forth to work. 156,000 on it. Both are paid for.
I rent a car for events and travel, much cheaper then owning.
Sadly I will have to buy something soon, really hoping for a glut of lease turn ins to drop prices a little and pick up something with 30K and remaining warranty, preferably a Hyundi or Kia from the dealer so I get the remainder of the 10 year 100,000 mile warranty.
Now if I played and won the lottery I might splurge on a new vehicle, maybe even two

+1
I like em' also. I had the original Subaru Brat. I loved that thing. It was awesome.
Unfortunately, like the IH Scouts, they rusted out before the mechanicals gave out.
I still miss mine.
I wish they had made the Baja in a 2 door version, with a slightly larger bed. I'd a been all over it.
A Dodge by any other name is still a Dodge. [:D]
Dodge... Turd... Poop... Yep, your right[:o)]

Got one .... only it's a 2014 Ram 2500 crew cab with the 6.4 liter hemi. I LOVE IT!
BTW - purchased it used, one year old with 24,000 miles on it ..still under warranty and had it shipped 1/2 way across the USA for about 1/2 of new price at the time.
[:D]
Also, near impossible here in the midwest to find one that isn't a diesel and all have a ton of miles on them. [:(]
I actually found a 2014 in the area that only has 20K mile son it..for about 8K cheaper.
With a gas motor it is a poorly designed steel nightmare looking for a place to bust down. It also burns gas at an unbelievable rate and has the lowest quality of any vehicle made.
Don't need "shine", need TRUCK!
A Dodge truck is a shipping crate for a Cummins motor, at best.

A few times some things were too expensive compared to the work it took to save the money to buy them.
Haven't bought a new car since 1981 and haven't bought ANY cars since 1999 but have made good purchases on cars 2 or 3 years old.
SUV sits in the garage for 10 months a year. Saves on gas and keeps the mileage low.[:p]
How long has the wife owned the Subaru for?
We bought her first Outback in 2012 she kept it til Black Friday, put 84K on it. We traded it for her new one on Black Friday. She's put about 2K mile son it.

I take she's been driving your Tahoe and now wants something bigger?

LOL, no its me that want a pick up again...I can count one hand how many times she's driven my Tahoe. She loves her boobaru. She doesn't like paying the gas bill on the Tahoe.
I am likely not going to buy something new...I like my black hoe...she's got low mileage and a winch! [;)]
Good lookin hoe!

My Shipping crate 2000 Dodge, hunk of rusting junk with CUMMINS 5.9 [:D] now has 427,000 miles on it. By the time I will have owned it 17 years, in March of this year the odometer will be close to 440,000. It is a awesome truck but I try to be realistic about it. My goal is no less than 1,000,000 miles with it. [^][^][^][^]
a lot of milage on them. Seems to be a really reliable vehicle. I love my Toyota Tundras however. Bought the last 4 vehicles on e-bay[^]

Whats that thing get on gas mileage city highway. Does it have the cut off cylinders like the new ones?
This particular truck has had the motor replaced, the head bolts replaced, injectors, 2 transmissions, a caliper, front suspension, and....after head had made the deal to trade, the entire driveshaft Assembly.
The hanger bearing went out. You can NOT service the hanger bearing, it's designed so you can't. You must replace the entire 2 piece driveshaft at a cost of $855 for parts.Dave

NICE-- drop a 7.3 in THAT!! or a REAL Cummings.
My wish- 7.3 type CAT motor coupled to an Eaton 8 speed stick/ CC 4x4.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Don't know.. gas mileage isn't a huge concern to me..not bad enough to justify the expense of a diesel.... looks like 13-15 mpg, the same as the 6.2 Ford
