    Why did you pick the MDX? I picked it because I have no other good option; wondering if I am happening into a "Happy Accident"...

    Used truck and SUV prices in Atlantic Canada

    I am less concerned about the turbo and more concerned about the interanl water pump, but I think that is newer models 2015 maybe? With that said I see Autism's point, a simple NA V8 has less to go wrong with it than a twin screw 6 over the long haul. And with that said... I would rather a twin...

    Used truck and SUV prices in Atlantic Canada

    Doesn't really matter, sold before I could get up that way to see it; So did the Sierra and the Silverado. The Yukon had issues that would be expensive to fix at a shop but reasonable if one had tools and a place to work; otherwise would have been a good buy. There is a 2010 F150 4.6L in Moncton...

    Used truck and SUV prices in Atlantic Canada

    Thanks for the reply, I pretty much dropped the idea of getting a decent rig for the money I am willing to pay. Everytime I seen something good in my price range it sells before I could get in touch with the sellers; 3 times in one day! Most of the stuff I am finding is off island which adds...

    Used truck and SUV prices in Atlantic Canada

    Hi all, I live in PE, I am from NS so I haven no relationshipo with any dealers yet, and I am shoping for a used 4x4 Truck/SUV to replace my Car and serve as the new Family and Adventure vehicle. I have looked at and test drove a number of vehicles and find that they are well over priced for...

    Atlantic Canada

    Well the tundra I am going to see this weekend, it is described as immaculately cared for and so far the pictures show it is very clean all original and has everything but navigation. As of now I am not towing anything and will be using the trucks bed for moving stuff and/or as an emergency...

    Atlantic Canada

    I would like to ask a question of the Atlantic Canada Members. I started a thread to get some advice on getting a Truck or SUV for light towing, maybe a boat, and camping/daily driver explorer vehicle. I am settled on a truck but still open to a Xterra or 4Runner as SUV options. Anyway; I set a...

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    I would agree if it were a 2 valve but for my purposes a 4.6l 3 valve should be fine, my question is if it is going to be a bag of snakes at 10 years old like the 5.4l Triton.

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    Unfortuneately I did it wrong, I should have asked if they would take 13500+ tax (which hits 15500 taxes in) instead I asked what they had to have for it all in expecting something around $17000 that I could negotiate down to the 15000 mark. My co-worker says he likes to offer the asking price...

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    Hello to anyone who is still listening; Was almost an ower of a white Titan Pro-4X had an asking price of $14995. In my math that is $17250 taxes in. I thought I can negotiate something in that ball park for a Titan. So I asked the dealer where they sat... $19900 is what it came to in their...

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    I hear you but we use kilometers eh... lol so you 22k miles looks like 35k in km, still though 35 000km vs 143000km and 3 times as old and near the same price. It is funny though because if you compare the west provinces (all those west of Ontario) you see drastic price drops. That is why I was...

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    I was aiming for 13000 to 15000 CAD, it would have to be an amazing deal to get more out of me lol. I like to tell dealers that I am looking for the bes tvehicle at the best price and not get into details on payments and stick to the actual price. Been looking at the 09 to 2014 range due to my...

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    I know eh? Even dealer used is just exstortionate! As for SUV or Truck it isn't all my decision, the wife has a say. The only SUV I think I would seriously consider at this point is an Xterra. My spouse didn't like the F150 at all, didn't help it broke down on us, but she has taken that as a...

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    Yeah, it is sad; I hate to profit from soneone elses misfortune. On the other hand, I need to get the best bang for buck. I test drove a F150 2013 with 4x4 and a locker with only 160k and it broke down on the way to the shop to have it checked; over heating. Buddy said it was a sensor but I have...

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    If anyone is still listening I just want to say the SARS-CoV-2 issue has somewhat delayed things for me, but I am still being paid, one plus for working for the government. So far I am in isolation and cannot leave the home when I do it is my hopes we will be still in Social Distancing, as...

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    When I see the pads being used I see them used in conjunction with straps. I think the pad is just there so you can hang a wheel over the tailgate and have something between the truck and bike to limit wear.

    Help! Do I need a truck?

    You guys have a lot of very impressive rigs but I think anything beyond a 1/2 ton is going to be over kill for my purposes. It sounds like I am right that a frontier is going to be cramped with the 4 of us. We took Toyota off the list because it is price prohibitive, although that could change...
