Nice! So will you actually get her dirty off-pavement?
To get to my parent's cottage in Canada I'll need to go off-roading, nothing too insane since my Park Ave can make it but it should still be fun with a truck. There is also a couple of trails locally that I used to ride my quad on, but they are so overgrown I'd scratch the paint to shit.
Definitely a good looking truck. If you can get another set of street tires though for when driving it on the road, it could save you 20-40% in gas. Knobbies eat gas like nothing else.
I might get some less aggressive winter tires, but I don't mind the mileage it gets right now (right around 18-20 miles per gallon so far). My Trans Am gets about the same, but that requires 93 octane so more expensive to drive. Cars are a hobby for me, so the expenses that go along are just part of it.
New car? Congratulations on taking $10k and setting it on fire.
But, I approve of the truck.
Dark colored cars basically look dirty all the time. Do your local trees release clouds of pollen? *eek*
Used truck prices are pretty insane right now, I would have only saved a few thousand going used on a similarly equipped truck with around 30k miles. MSRP on mine was $54k, I got it for $41k. I know people rarely pay MSRP for trucks, but I felt like I got a good deal. Not much pollen around my house (all the trees vanished when my neighborhood was built), but my work has a ton that falls from the trees.
I want to get a few things done in the next couple months before winter hits - undercoat to help prevent rust (thanks NYS) and a clear film on the front to help protect against chips. Also, tint the front windows to match the rears.
My goal is to drive it until the doors fall off...
