Oh no, no offense was taken. I don't mind the front end of the Dak now that it has grown on me but I still like the Raider's front end a little more. I think this is actually the first vehicle that I have bought and haven't had buyers remorse yet! Once I get the front end a little stiffer I'll be happier than a fat kid in a candy store.

I'm not sure what they have planned for '08. I do know that for the '07 model they have taken away the 4.7 option and they are strictly going with the 3.7. I'm so very glad that I got mine when I did. If I couldn't have the V8 I would either be driving a Dak or a Tacoma.

It's ok, just so long as you can take some crap when it is given to you!! Actually I am a GM guy and probably always will be. I've just been exploring my other options for the last few years. I figure with this truck I get to keep trying Mitsu (since they treated me very well on my last car) and a new Dodge all at the same time. I actually just sold my '76 PowerWagon because it was just sitting there. I didn't want to let it go but it was time. That thing was a hoss and it just kept on going. I will not ever own a Ford in my life though! That is unless a Shelby Mustang GT500 is given to me!

 

i think that Toyota is actually getting the same or just slightly better reliability than Dodge. If you look over the past year or two, Toyota has actually recalled many more cars and has suffered from quality issues moreso than Chrysler/Dodge.

 

Yeah I don't personally care for Ford, I like old mustangs, new Shelby GT500's, and the Ford Lighting...thats it, and they won't be making the lighting again for a couple of years...although I have to say I'm startin to like the RAM SRT-10 a hell of alot more than the F-150 SVT Lightning...I still like the curvy smothness of the SVT though...but...I mean...who can say no to something called an SRT-10...lol

 

The biggest thing that I like about Toyota is that their resale value is off the hook.

The only reason I wouldn't want an SRT-10 is because I would baby that thing and I really just need a truck that I can use as a truck.

 

Yeah I know what you mean, this is my first car that I am actually paying for...well rather, owing for because I can't afford the payments with tuition at LTU, and its my second car...that I picked and I wanted...and well to put it simply its my baby...and I don't want to hurt her...so yeah I'm babying my truck as it is right now.

 

That is one nice benefit of a Toyota.

I'm more of a Mopar/GM guy. Not a Ford fan at all. Prior to my Dakota, I always owned GM, but still liked Dodge...and was always impressed that my dad was able to get 258,000+ miles out of his old Ram 50. Never had a GM last that long. When my GMC crapped out, I figured it was time to give something else a shot...so here I am.

You're right, an SRT-10 would be totally sweet, yet unbelievably impractical.

 

But extremly fun!!!!

 

Agree the titan is bad a$$, but eats a little much gas for me right now

 

i looked at the Titan--briefly. it's a really nice truck...it really is. to be honest, it was more truck than i needed, plus i'd heard that a lot of people had reliability problems with them, which kinda turned me off to them.

i actually gave serious consideration to a Frontier though....i just couldn't talk them down in price as much as i could Dodge...i got a better equipped truck from Dodge for over $1000 less.

my next one will probably a Ram too...way down the road, though...gotta pay this one off first.
