I look out my kitchen window Saturday night to see flames coming out of my windshield. My truck is engulfed in fire. The fire dept. puts it out & the arson squad says it was a electrical fire started in the dashboard. Were, they do not know. When asked that question the arson detective laughed and said,"what are we CSI"?
Anyway the insurance company shows up today and totals the vehicle and comes up with a very generous settlement.
Now I need to replace the truck. I want to do it before the new emissions kick in in Janurary. All the sales people say they will lose HP and I do not want to be a guinea pig.
So I need opioins on the big 3
Chevy- 6 speed tranny, quiet motor, crappy outdated interior,small back seat (crew cab) took 1st in an Edmunds test.
Ford- 5 speed tranny, loud motor,higher towing capacity, nicer interior (my opinion), took 2nd in edmunds test
Dodge-4 speed tranny, real nice interior, cavernous back seat (makes the bed smaller), GPS nav.,factory installed
exhaust brake & the most expensive of the three.
I am pulling a 3500 RL, which the sticker says is 10,950 lbs. which I do not think is correct since they have not added for the larger double door ref.,slide draw & center island. I also plan on putting in the washer & dryer.
The pricing on the 3 seems to be close with the Ford being the cheapest & the Dodge the most expensive.
Thanking you in advance
