Buying a new vehicle.

Hey everyone it's that time to buy a new vehicle. I've never spent over $5500 before Bc I'm cheap or smart or something lol. it's time to treat myself to something nice. I don't want to spend a shitload but am thinking of going brand new just because they are so cheap right now used just doesn't seem worth it. Import would be nice but a lot more expensive so I'm thinking chev. Dodge or ford truck.
Any thoughts or experiences greatly appreciated. They are advertising dodge Half ton for $25,000 fairly loaded but I assume cloth interior. Halcyon is all I would need but a diesel would be nice. Cummins is free right now
Thanks

Half ton not Halcyon. Dumb autocorrect lol

Well, I have always been a Chevy man when it comes to vehicles. BUT....from everything I have seen and heard since about 07, their quality has been going downhill. If I were to go out and buy a new truck right now, it would be a Ford. Their quality is good. They look much better than they used to. And they didn't take a government handout (okay that one may just be my personal beef). It seems like I see more and more Fords out there now.

My step dad gets addicted to researching something when he is about to buy a vehicle (or anything for that matter). He will read up and study for months in advance. He chose Ford and said that it wasn't even close between them and Chevy. I don't know much about Dodge so I can't speak to them

Ford F150 is the way!!! You will lvoe it!!!!

if you can get the Raptor version!!! You will not regret it!!!

Go with an f150 and don't get a diesel because it would be nice. The upkeep is a lot more than most bargain for and not kept proper are a headache. The ecoboost f150 is what I would personally choose. Great power and economy all in one.

Test drive a 08 f-250 it was nice gas 5.4

Like diesel said just spend the $55k on a raptor and call it a day! That thing is a beast!

Lol prob. Won't it's a little much for me. B

Love the new Ford trucks.Dodge rams are cool but not the greatest on gas.

I did it and its nice but still in shock lol it's a lot of money for a truck. I bought a 2012 F-150 Lariet Quad Cab, I also got the maintenance package and all the extended warranty which I thought I would never do but to have bumper to bumper and all maintenance paid for 7 years for $6000 total it just made sense and I'm pretty sure I got a wicked deal on the truck but could have maybe weaseled them a lil more lmao.

Chevy Colorado with 5 cylinder is nice and gets decent mpg

Second guessing the extended warranty and maintenance package. Arg. If my tranny blows in five years it will pay off but unlikely to happen and I'm a mechanic lmao. Thinking if canceling. Whatcha think of them?

GMC Crew Cabs are sexy as hell! I have a NBS, but those NNBS's can look sweet too if done right...

extended warranties are nice but usually i find most people don't get them or end up needing them. Also your a mechanic lol. What motor did you end up getting?

I got the 5 liter sounds a lot better than the ecoboost and fuel economy is pretty close and its 2012 so got a better deal then 2013 Eco. Ya ill prob keep the warranty just because it will save the hassle and its not that much and the maintenance package is cheap for 7 years maintenance and it seems they can **** ya on warranty if u don't have it on a hoist for inspection and rotate tires every oil change. Besides then I can build a car. Lol
