RE: My new wood hauler . . . and toy hauler

[firefighterjake]

Traded in my Toyota 4Runner SUV with an anemic V-6 engine for this Nissan Titan with a large V-8 engine. Only my second ever brand new vehicle I've purchased . . . mainly because going used with a 2-year-older truck with 30K on the odometer was only $2,000 less . . . ironically enough my first brand new vehicle that I purchased was a Nissan Hardbody Pick up back in 1997.

Geesh, you couldn't even post pictures of it all clean?

Those things sure do look nice. Bet it does you well.

Winter in Maine . . . vehicles don't get much of a chance to get clean . . . I tried to wash it yesterday at the firehouse . . . just turned into a giant ice cube on wheels.

Nice wheels Jake....been looking at getting one of those for a while, so I'm looking forward to hearing how it works out for you.
Plus, looks a little better dirty.....clean trucks just don't look right IMHO

Congrats on the new truck.

I've washed my cars about a million times by hand and I don't think I've EVER even considered that maneuver. I think she is doing it wrong.

Jake - whats the posted cty/hwy mileage on that critter? Just wondering how the toy's compare to the other brands.

Jags - http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm you can find any car/truck required to have epa mpg. even compare side by side. Its a good resource just thought I'd throw it out there.

Pulls 9,500 lbs . . . plenty for what I need to haul . . . I'm planning on hauling my ATV, sled, lumber and firewood . . . but not all at once.

Not good . . . the Nissan Titan gets 12 city, 17 highway. So far with just a little over half a tank I'm getting 14.6 with mixed driving . . . however I knew going in that this would not be the same as my fuel efficient Honda Accord (which continues to be my commuting car) . . . this truck will be used for bad weather driving, hauling the toys and work . . . and for use should the Subbie or Honda need to go to the garage.

It's no good . . . I have a truck, not a SUV. Heck, even I had a hard time the other day reaching up enough to scrape the ice off the windshield . . . of course I didn't have my leg flipped like the one lady . . . I may have to try that next time.

She may be assuming an air start position.
