Lol he traded an 03 ram 1500 and an old 4.3 S-10

 

Ford and Chevy owners just think their trucks last longer ,which is because driving them for a year feels like 4 or 5 .

 

Hey, my Ford's been good to us. It's a Ranger though, and those have always been tanks compared to the F-series. Also we understand the concept of regular maintenance being done properly, which would keep the ****tiest of cars running for ages.

And honestly, ALL old trucks are good as long as they have been taken care of. All the new ones are Chinese built and 90% plastic and mostly owned by morons who have never held a wrench in their life.

 

I like all the Big 3 Domestic trucks ...I'm not fond of the Fender wells on the Chevy 1500's i think they are way too big for the stock size tires and look goofy , but I'd take it over a Toyota truck anyday since every Foreign truck looks like a spaceship or bubble , and do not have a rugged truck look .

 

This, plus being in the drivers seat of a Tundra automatically makes you look like a tool.

 

Might be visiting Denver in a week. Going to bring my mtb, any spots you guys would recommend?
edit: Looked into it, Id be in Lakewood and would probably bike over to Golden to hit up some trails like Apex.

 

apex is good.. also deer creek canyon, lair of the bear, pence park, mount falcon is good and has some good loops at the top. all really close to the lakewood area. those are more 5-7 trails on a scale of 1-10. if you want a bit easier, green mountain has a range of 3-6 and is right in lakewood. i ride all those trails often, so leme know if you have any other questions. the altitude will be some getting used to for you, maybe..

 

lol, Tundras. My Ranger has a bigger Axle/Driveshaft than those. Ranger's a 1/4 ton and the Tundras are what, 1/2 ton?

 

Thanks for all the tips Il look into them all. Il be staying right up the street from Green Mountain so I would check that out first. Really excited, this will be my first time in Colorado. If theres as many Jeep and Bike trails as I hear there are Im moving once Im out of school.

 

You can get on green mountain trail and connect that, dakota ridge, and mathew winters park for one big ride if you want. Green mountain sucks, but it's better than riding pavement. The other two are pretty fun.

 

Thank you for the suggestions. Il only be there for a few days but I plan on biking all day everyday. Apx. how many miles would it be to bike green mtn, dakota, and winters park?

 

switched back to my old old old old phone. for those who have my number send me a txt with who you are

thanks

 

Oh jezz, i just found out my friend paid about $40,000 for his new truck total, and it's only worth $29,000. Also, they ripped him off with the trade ins, they gave him around $4,000, the '03 Ram was worth around $7,500 alone. And these are all KBB trade in PRICES, not values.

He would've been better off buying a brand new 2012. And I'm sure he will kill me if i tell him.

 

If he didnt know better for himself then I wouldnt bug him about it lol. Just know deep down the truth.

 

I feel bad for him because he's my BEST friend, and only 19. He's gonna be paying this thing off for 6 years in installments of over $600 (Which he CAN afford, for now). I guess he just got so focused on owning a Cummins he didn't think it through.
