Get a Dodge Hemi. :thumbsup

I love the Dodges but the Hemi seems like massive overkill in a place where I can't even get up to 60 mph

What are you buying it for?

Hauling?
Looks?
4X4 In the mud?

Great work trucks as well, great hauling power.but trucks are kinda a waste unless you need them all the time..too expensive gas guzzlers

Hauling and secondary transportation.
Fuck looks.... and fuck 4x4

the Chevys are nice.... but seems like they're overpriced....

what about the Toyotas?

You already own the Durango...Stick with Dodge since it has done ya right.

Ram 1500 Quad Cab?

Maybe a 2500 depending on what you are hauling.

I - H

Toyota Tundra if you want mid sized, Ford 250 diesel if you want larger. Look at Edmunds before you start shopping.

when you want a truck thats gonna work and pull your house out of the ground, you buy a Ford, theres a reason why 8 out of 10 trucks on a construction site are Fords, not to mention the F-series is the best selling for the last 30 consecutive years. Ford sold 935,000+ F series trucks last year :thumbsup

that definately is a nice lookin' truck....

think they'll give me a discount if I walk in with cash?

If they don't, go to a different dealer

I'm on an island in the middle of the sea..... lol

there are no other dealers.

Sure they will. And they will flag you to the IRS too.

Go for it. :thumbsup

New $2 million+ dollar house, new job, new truck bought in cash......

WTF are you doing besides web design anyway? :winkwink:

Ford...I believe they are still using 5.0 engine. Forget about looks. :)

Yeah, I started thinking about that. Do you have one dealership that carries all the major makes?

5.0 :1orglaugh its been dead for years. Buy a diesel

no, it's like the dealers on the mainland..... the Dodge people are on the same lot as the Honda people..... Lexus has their own lot.... BMW has their lot... Audi shares with Harley Davidson..... etc...

but there's only one of each. If I don't like the Dodge dealer, I gotta go off island and pay for shipping. Which isn't too big of a deal.... I can ship a car here from Cali for $1k.... if I buy from another island, they'd probly pay for the shipping.

More importantly...Knowing that there are no car manufacturing facilities on Maui.....We know that all of the vehicles sold there have thousands of miles on them already after driving through the tunnel from the mainland.

AMP, you're better off just flying over here, having the pick of the litter from multiple dealers, then driving it back to Maui yourself. :2 cents:

Most dealers make money off financing. Offering to pay cash hardly ever gets you a discount (though they might tell you you're getting one.....). I do all my negotiating before I ever set foot in the showroom - just email the dealers and tell then you want the best drive out price and whomever is the lowest, wins.

F150's look good, but be sure and get the bigger engine. Personally, if I was getting a Ford after having 2 of them which are total POS (Exploder and Ranger), I'd get a diesel which isn't in anything smaller than the 250.

If you want something to last I'd say go with the Ford. The Chevy's and GMC's these days are sadly lacking in the quality control, and tend to have a lot of minor problems that are just annoying as hell. The Dodge's tend to be pricey right off the bat, and they lose a lot more in devaluation then any other truck on the market.

I've had new Chevy's, I've had new Toyota's, and I've had new Ford's. The Ford was the only truck that had zero maintenance other than tires and oil changes.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Sometimes you want the extra kick to avoid stupid drivers :)

BTW, with the diesel 250 and 350 were/are using the same engine but modified it.

the 5.0 has been dead and out of production for years, replaced by the 4.6 and 5.4 and my F350 dually has the V10. The new 6.0 is in the diesels, as opposed to the 7.3

Chevy Silverado 2500HD extended cab. go check it out, get a sunroof because you dont need to worry about the power of this thing. enough said

I've owned Ford. Bought it brand new. Nothing but little maintenance problem the entire time I owned it. Problems with everything from the brakes to the roof rack and even the stock stereo.

I doubt I will ever buy another Ford. :2 cents:

Hemis always hold their value.The engine makes the truck,I'd be ashamed to drive a Ford..punks would throw rocks at them

Toyota's line of pickup trucks own in terms of dependability & resale

I've had noting but a great experience with the Dodge Durango I bought a few years ago..... have not had a single problem, plus the services are free, and I got a 7 year warranty on everything with it...

which means, I'm definately a Dodge fan...

but that said, that doesn't mean I automatically will buy another. (Hence, this thread)....

just looking for a good tough truck that will last for at least 4 or 5 years before it needs trading. Right now, I'd say it's between Dodge, Ford, or Toyota. The Toyotas I know are tough, but they seem small compared to the others.... maybe I'm wrong on that.. which leaves Dodge or Ford.
(Chevys are just too expensive and they aren't worth what they're asking)

From understanding the 4.6 and 5.4 is all based on the 5.0. Sorry to post wrong info :)

no biggie, but the 4.6 and 5.4 is a totally different monster, overhead cams and all. The Hemi is nothing more than Dodges attempt at reclaiming market share which Ford has held for 25+ years. Dodge in terms of trucks is low man on the totem pole. People blinded by the word Hemi :1orglaugh

Dodge Dakota SLT 3.8L v-6 or you can get the v-8 model. 2002 model is good

If I had the $ would buy a Titan 5.6L

You're putting too much thought into this. Down a few gin & tonics then go buy the Dodge in the morning. Toyota's are for pussies, not crazies and the Ford........I already gave my opinion about those.

no comment lol

Unless you driven one you wouldn't understand the power.I have driven a couple cars(69 Charger,70 Cuda) and those fuckers would snap you neck back when you stomped it.I base my opinion that hopefully a Hemi is just as powerful

ok, i can't hold it in...

Payday Loan Advances probably LOVE you!

Spunky, I been drag racing for 15 years, I race 800 inch Ford Hemi big blocks, I know the power. Dodge badged there new truck with the word hemi, some bolt on hemispherical heads and the people thought "ooooooohhhhhhhh" :1orglaugh There heyday is over. They need a new catchphrase, badly

i like my dodge...

your ford fetish is showing again...

"Dodge, the truck for straight men."

How much is gas in HI?

:1orglaugh your dodge personality shines nicely also.

I just got an 05 Crew Cab Silverado in October. Havin 4 doors and a bed really is nice.

gotta agree with you there ;)

I bought a dodge ram 1500 extended cab last year for $20k, new. They are making good deals on trucks. As a 6th car, I love it. Drive it more than my Ferrari.

eat a cock Kman.....

oh wait, that's not an insult to you..... you do that already out of love for the faggot dick.

Payday advances? LOL

My fucking garage is worth more than you dipshit. :1orglaugh

Those Dodge extended cabs are some damn good trucks.

Dodge has always had some very reliable trucks.

Thanks I have no clue about trucks. The mustang the 4.6 looks great and can't compete with the old model 5.0 unless one is a better driver :)

Dakota quad cab are pimparific, cause that's what I drive!
