Reply #8 – June 22, 2008, 03:12:08 AM At least you need the truck for work and its rare that a truck or suv could get you better gas mileage but in your case i think it sounds like a good deal looks very nice to bad you don't have a job where you don't need the truck then you might have got a new Mustang GT.

i didnt really want to, but.... Reply #10 – June 25, 2008, 10:53:52 PM You're right, if you're even considering a new truck, now is a good time to buy. They're dealing like crazy on them. That is a beautiful truck. Does it have a tow package or receiver hitch on it? I can't really tell from the pics. Or maybe you don't tow with it. Either way, sharp truck!! Quote Selected
