I want to buy a new SUV/truck soon (recommendations?) - GoFuckYourself.com

BradM · 01-24-2005, 09:42 PM

Hey.
I want something with a lot of power, that has 4x4 and also comes in Standard transmission.

I am looking at the Grand Cherokee Laredo Hemi but it doesn't come in standard... which isn't that big of a deal I guess but I really prefer a stick.
Anyone have any nice trucks kicking around?

I am also a huge fan of the Dodge Ram Hemi. I just want something trail CAPABLE if the time came. I don't plan on trailing it often or anything. Just a mountain truck so I can go snowboarding whenever I feel like it and not worry about slippage etc.

Thanks.

The new Grand Cherokee seems to have a ton of power, you will appreciate an automatic when you're stuck in stop and go traffic ;)

Only reason I am considering it really is because I am driving on the 5 a lot lately and it is taxing on a clutch.

I used to drive to downtown Toronto everyday in the horrible stop and go traffic in my 5.0L Mustang with stick. That was very painful ;)

if you want a "truck" the last one you buy is a dodge, there is a reason the F series Ford has been the best selling truck for 27 years consecutively, I mean Ford only sold 935,000+ F series trucks in 04'. Dodge?

Yeah I hear that a lot... the new Fords look amazingly tough too. I see a lot of them around here.

Volkswagen Tourag with the 310hp 5L V10 turbo diesel (553 lb.-ft. @ 2,000RPM).

Dodge is the way to go. The F-150 is the shizznit.

Dodge is so far behind Ford and Chevy, its a wonder they didnt drop their V10 sooner. You're clueless

Yukon Denali, the only thing I hate about it is the $$ I spend on gas.

Its tough and built very well. I don't know if they have them in standard.

I got an F350 Dually crew cab with the V10. 15 MPG and 11 MPG towing a 9000lb 34 foot boat. Nothing like a Ford when going gets tough
