EMPs only affects circuits that are powered on at the time of the hit. So a fuel injected car with the battery disconnected would be fine.

i think mass panic would be enough from smartphones and wifi networks being down to were that may or may not matter actually.

Well you know two of us love americas best selling truck. But if i had to do it again id get a Tundra, or a real clean pro-4x.

I have no problem with any of the three options. My concern is bang for the buck.

The wife has a list of things she wants in a new truck, and I have mine. Plus, this is going to be the new "family car" as it stands, so it needs to be reliable, comfortable, and not ragged to hell and back.

Equipped they way I'd buy it, looking at 2017-2018 models with 20k-ish miles, the Tundra Limited, F150 FX4, or the Titan (LE or Pro4X w/ the VK56) I'm looking at 45k, 40k, and 35k respectively. Just on the quick glance I did today.

Im probably not going to pull the trigger until next year, but a preliminary look shows that the value for used is definitely in the Titan.

For the 35k I can sell the wife's Pathy, and not have to finance the entire thing and the monthly won't change.

Plus with a redesign for the Titan coming in 2021, next year the 2019s and 2020s will be even cheaper by comparison.

True. Ive been looking at trucks quite a bit lately. I can say that there is a TON out there in the $35k price range nicely loaded (4wd). Maybe not as loaded out as a Tundra Limited, but nice. I have found easily the Titan is the best Value truck out there.

Not saying to buy from them, but look at the values on Carmax for comparison and ease of search.

I love to truck shop. Pulling the trigger is different.

Beyondaggravated. More disappointed. The freaking kid I've been training to take my spot a few years down the road just put his 2 weeks in for apparently a job in NYC paying 60 bucks and hour. That's bull. Everytime we start to get ahead and I start taking some administration shiat off my dad a guy quits. I have stood up for this kid multiple times and was teaching him everything I know.

I'm so disappointed in him and bummed out. *sips beer* all back to square one. It's not like our company is cruddy to work for. 8-5 with one sat a month and it's a half a day. I cant win. Guess loyalty is no more in today's work place


End rant

as someone who did something similar in my line of work, thats just business. expect that i was very under paid at my old trucking job. im sure you guys gave him a pretty good wage and he was gonna grow into an even better one down the road. but some times people cant wait.

hope you find someone again soon.

I've been drooling over a Power Wagon. You can get the Power Wagon package on a Tradesman and save about $15K over the decked out version. Been considering swapping my K2500 and X to get one.

I've never liked Dodge. For anything.

I never did either but they have the best looking truck on the market hands down. I love the 6.4L Hemi as well. I've driven my Dad's 2500 Silverado with the 6.2L and I much prefer the Dodge.

Plus factory winch, lockers and sway bar disconnects from the factory on a 3/4T pick-up.

Evening. Had a stupid day at work to the point I didn’t have lunch. While the doc was dealing with a Mental health issue she left me to deal with transferring a chest pain( possible pulmonary embolism). A compression injury if a thigh and a dislocated shoulder rolled in via one of our field ambulances.
