Let's talk about kayak transport

[oredith]

i was originally going to weld up a rack for the truck to transport the 2 kayaks, but the wife said no to the truck. she wants heated seats and comfy ride.. >_<



I get like 3 offers a month on the truck's windshield asking if I want to sell it..

A chevy 1500? It's not unheard of for them to knock of 10,000$. Maybe submit a request on internet and have dealers fight for your business. You would have to up your budget though. Maybe look for a slightly used one. This could apply to the competiition as well such as Ford.

have a 2004 Grand Cherokee that is extremely comfortable to drive but it is beginning to have issues, the electronics in the transmission are acting up. I don't like the full time four wheel drive but even with it on the highway pulling my kayak trailer it gets about 19 mpg with the V8.

I feel all new trucks are overpriced. That's why you see so many dealers offering huge discounts and still managing to keep their business open. Also why you see the resale on most full-sized trucks plummet so fast after the first 1-2 years.

When I was in AZ, I was REALLLLLLLY close to buying a PA14 and towing it with a CPO Chevy Silverado 1500. Far and away the most comfortable vehicle I'd ever been in. It's just way too impractical for me to drive something that big here in LA.

How about a 1st Gen tundra 4x4? I'm bias because i own one with over 200k trouble free miles.
Here's a clean one, low mileage too.

4x4 Sprinter cargo van

A girl can dream, can't she?

Until then, it's a 2003 Chevy Express 14-passenger van w/o seats and paint blowing off the roof (don't try to take it off road)

19k for a 10 year old truck? No thank you. I paid that much for my first gen tundra in 2004.

Or you can pay 25k for a 2013 4x4 tundra...

The Mercedes Sprinter would be sweet as a partial RV conversion but they cost too damn much for the little time off work that I would get.

Yeah 19k for a truck that old is too much.

Dude, that purchase makes it seem that Tacoma's are overpriced now.
