Correct answer is a 5.0 F150 to let the world know you're packing SVT-P sized wang.

At this point, this seems like the sensible choice for an educated gentleman.

Perhaps even do a collab with 13COBRA…

I do like the look of the new juanfiddies

A leveled out Tundra does look pretty damn killer.

You ballers paying cash or financing? Even with $15k down payments are freaking $1300/m.

That is nuts. Wait a bit. Rates will fall. Used pricing will eventually fall.

That said it is a great time to be a cash buyer if you are shopping new. I knocked 5k off when I bought my new chebby.

The Nissan vk56 is the last of what I would call the old school with no dod, start/stop, ect. Sadly next year is the end of the road for it.
I just kinda did this dance and this is how I went. My needs are definitely different from op though. I went cpo platinum reserve 2wd. Truck was 41k and has 33k on the odo. It does damn nice for what I will use it for as I just needed something to get bulky crap from big box stores and maaaaaybe pull a car trailer/pop up. I have only had it for 2 days but it is smoother and more quiet than my qx70 that I traded in. I drive like an old lady at like 65mph on the highway and have been seeing 19.5 mpg out of it so far. If you want a new one some dealers are doing 0.0 apr on new titans and op could get a pro 4x for a deal.

Actually had one as a rental a few weeks ago.

2WD, base-ish with leatherite. I can confirm it got 19mpg on the highway and around 400 miles a tank.

Around town or was about 16mpg hooning.

I don't like the Ford window cuts.

ProX 4 does look good.

Yeah. My birthday is in March, as well as meritt review and bonus time.

Apparently you can't order a truck with Toyota and dealers think Lunar Grey is worth a premium.

Nice truck. I actually went from a 2015 f150 ECOBOOST with loads of issues to a titan just to get out of the headache the ford was. Mine is a 2017 and has been flawless. I don't understand why they're not more popular. 400hp and 19mpg.

I had a 2022 Tundra for about 2 months. Traded it in on the 2022 Rebel and never looked back. I wanted to like the Tundra, but the interior felt like a play school box inside. It was awful. The V6 wasn't bad, but it was not to my taste.

I think the reason why is they have had a lot of quality issues. My friend is a regional rep for Nissan. They gave him a Platinum Reserve. It was super nice on the inside and it rode great. He said they are getting discontinued.

Buddy had a 2010(?) Titan, beat the **** out of it for 230k, interior was ancient but never had any problems with it and it towed (camper and work trailer) way better than the 2009 Chevy he owned for 1 summer.

He finally got rid of it for a Duramax

I have to admit, my 2017 isn't as "refined" as my 2015 f150 was but after years of trouble free driving and loads of power, I welcome the old school truck feel. Best of all, I'm no longer leaving oil stains on my concrete from a stupid plastic pan.
