Should I do it?

I agree. I have 250k on my 4Runner and sometimes I think I may only get another 100k or 150k. Hell, a few moths ago I had to change out the battery.

Not a typical situation. I knew someone who had a 68 Oldsmobile cutlass with 250k on it, original driveline, and that was a car built to last only 80-100 k.

Why get something brand new when you can get a truck thats a few years old, already got its *** dropped out, and still has a warranty for longer then you'll probably want the vehicle anyway?

A new car every 6 months is part of gym's core family values.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I will stick with what has worked for me. Not only have all the Toyotas that I have owned lasted very well, they have also been been very inexpensive to maintain. I have never lost more than a day's use and I have never had a repair bill over a few hundred bucks -- and those instances have been very few and far between.

Hell yeah I did, I am trying to coach Preton up. He's the one walking around this forum with a bunch of ignorances.

I find those who drive them to be dreamboats.

Of course, and on top of that, there's 99 of them.

I used to think that way. My new motto for my next truck is go big or go home. IF you compare apples to apples in terms of equipment levels its possible to take home a comparable half ton for about the same as you'd pay for a decked out midsize. Again when you compare apples to apples and look at crew cab 4x4s with the big engine option the fuel mileage isn't that different, except maybe for the Colorado/Equator. But that truck is a cheaply made piece of junk.

In case you didn't know, the colorado is a completely different truck from the equator. The equator is a rebadged Nissan Frontier, which means it is actually a pretty good truck. It really all depends on what package you want when deciding between the nissan and the suzuki. The suzuki appears to be more off-road/sport oriented.

As for the whole apples-to-apples thing, a Nissan Frontier Pro-4x costs about $9k less than a similarly-configured Titan Pro-4x (Both crew cab, 4x4, standard bed, leather seating, side air bags, etc). There is also about a 10-15% difference in fuel economy.

So, unless you need a large truck for work or towing(which the OP obviously didn't since he bought a crossover), I don't really see a reason to buy one. Unless of course you have a small penis that needs compensating for

Oh, sorry, Canada.
'American' car that is built out of country.

Awesome. Buy 'American'!

the reason i'd be telling people to buy american is for our economy, not because it was built in america.
