Looking for a small/medium truck for boat/kayak. Ram 1500?

Yep. I'd buy one during the slump if things didn't take so long to change. I wish I bought a good diesel 4 or 5 yrs ago for 8-10k. Could sell now & make $4k +. [emoji2] Glad I don't need a diesel now. I almost don't need a truck but 18-20mpg is decent for now. No payments means saving up.

yeah, the ram 1500 express/ tradesman. Trucks like that can be had less expensive, especially when they've been sitting at a dealer for a year.

Looking for a small/medium truck for boat/kayak. Ram 1500?

If you don't a truck alot, just rent one. The mileage would add up though. So i guess that's only good for dump runs & stuff. That's 1 reason I'd regret selling my stickshift 18-20mpg 1997 v8 F150 stepside. $170 reg, $45-50/mo ins. I'll keep my eye out for a sub $20k, sub 10 yr old truck to add...

Looking for a small/medium truck for boat/kayak. Ram 1500?

I recommend selling your car privately or keep it. If you drove 100k+ miles in the car, the gas savings would almost pay for the truck. The newer ram 1500 with v6 & 8 speed does get good mpg. I'd go v8 anyways. My old 5spd F150 v8 did 21+mpg highway. The "midsize" trucks might be light enough...

Subaru Ascent quick review

I don't like leather seats. Get back to your car after being out somewhere for over an hour & you'd burn your ass. Well, someone with short shorts anyways. Leather is easy to clean i guess. My 20 yr old truck w/ original clothe seats age well.

low calaorie beverages that are healthy

I concur. I make 12-16oz smoothies in the morning with a lil milk, plain greek yogurt, 1 banana & a cereal bowl worth of blueberries & strawberries. Also, I have to drink over a gal of water & 1 32 ounce gatorade per day at work in summer. Sweat has to be replaced.

Thoughts on Colorful SSD's

If you can do Ebay, I recommend looking up Gtx 970's on there although I'm not sure how prices are. I got one 8months or so ago for $160. [emoji848] For SSD, i agree about only using crucial, samsung, or similar good popular drives. $60-70 for a 250gb isn't bad, or $100-120 for a $500 i think.

Subaru Ascent quick review

[emoji848] hmm. By the way, if it's unibody or such like the Ridgeline, it's a car w/ a bed, not a pickup. It's Interesting that my late 90's F150 gets the same combined mpg as the OP said for this suv. My truck is 100-300lbs lighter w/ my 250hp or so v8 compared to that turbo 4-banger...

[DEAD]Prime Day Deals MX500 1TB $139.99

Good input. $140 is great. I payed $165 & got $5 back when I bought a $25 gift card so that helps. Still a great price compared to all others.I also bought (2) 250gb's for family at $50 & $55 each. The prices were bouncing around. Whoever got the 2TB at $319, nice! It's back at $400+ I read...

Which of these old cards is the best

My GTX 970 was $143 early this year. Not sure how prices are now. A gtx 1060 might be a fine choice depending on price.

Upgrading my pc after 7yrs

Some people gotta have the latest thing and/or don't mind Win 8.1 or they actually like it. I'd go with Win 7 myself although I have alot of 'puters using XP.

500gb wd or segate

From the start, of course the seagate has a better price/performance ratio, but the WD has a 2yr longer warranty. I prefer WD, and the 5 yr warranty doesnt hurt, so that's what I'd pick. If you're really on a budget and cant spend more, the Seagate seems to be a fine choice since they both...

Aston Martin builds the ugliest concept ever

Did you just stretch that in PS? Lol, actually doesn't look bad, but to me an SUV is an SUV. I prefer better gas mileage, but of course when I need to move or haul something I use my truck.
