My wife calls it the Queens Scepter. Lol

Woman explained very well. Other provider that is coming on strong is called Bemouth.

DD machine is top notch only when you can get ahold of him. Very hit miss, yet some people did make contact. He was my 1st choice actually.

Just a little something I went and bought on Tuesday.



Interior is pretty much perfect. The guy's wife was a neat freak, even the engine bay is spotless. The wheels are scuffed up though, and it obviously has some hail damage. Thing runs and drives like a dream though.

^Good choice. I was picking up ones with hail damage (last one). I just needed to get a color matched hood as the roof hail damage was light. K.

edit 1, good choice is in reference to vehicles with hail damage. I have no experience with these type Toyota's.

I am working in Dartmouth, Massachusetts for a few weeks on a healthcare project for my company. My '98 still needs an engine rebuild, so my company told me to go to Enterprise and rent a pickup.

The place by my house had a Ford and a Chevy, both 2wd crew cabs with a V6. I sat in both and thought the F-150 was more comfortable, so I took it. I had a 15-20 minute drive home, and about half of that is on fairly straight and level highway at 55mph, so I reset the fuel economy readout to see how it was doing. That little pig was only getting 17mpg!

The next day as I headed through Tennessee, I used google maps and found the other enterprise yards I would pass on my way and started calling. I found one with a Ram and made arrangements to stop and swap.

When I saw the pickup they had was a 4x4 I wasn't sure what to expect for fuel economy, so I checked the EVIC and saw the recent economy was at 19mpg, so I swapped my stuff over and headed East again.

The Ram is MUCH more comfortable than either the Ford or Chevy, and has much nicer features as far as the gauges, radio display, comfort controls, etc. are concerned. The rotary transmission control on the dash takes a little getting used to, but it isn't a bad thing at all.

Driving out here on the Interstates with cruise control set about 80mph I was getting 23.5mpg. I've put about 1650 miles on it in 3 weeks, and I am going to hate giving it back when I go home.
