My Truck...

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Gave up on trying to buy a Toyota truck. Love them but too fucking expensive combined with shit financing, plus I need a full size truck instead of the mid size Tacoma. Come close to biting on a 4.7 litre Tundra but too much dough even for the 4.7. If I won the lotto I'd buy the 5.7 litre tundra

For work truck reasons I went with a demo model with 10K's 2015 Silverado. 4x4, crew cab, tow package for $28,000. Came with a great financing as well. Excellent deals on 2015 Silverados and Sierras right now

Wanted a Toyota real bad but no deals on toyotas and their financings

Good choice.

After the bullshit I've dealt with from Penticton Toyota and Toyota Canada......I'm looking elsewhere when I buy again.
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

Yeah I spent 6 months looking at toyota trucks, gave up. Love the truck. For my work a mid size Tacoma just wasn't cutting it. The 2015 Silverados and Sierras are well priced right now. Eagle Ridge GMC has some smoking deals. It's a nice truck.

Is that the v 6 or v8 Pacific Blue? Yeah I'm looking hard at Chev right now and 30 g is right in my wheelhouse.My F 150 is falling apart. I would love to nail down a 1/2 ton truck with a crew cab and a 7 foot box. I think only Dodge makes them. I hate fucking Dodge.

I bought the V6 six foot box. The long box with extended cab is a bit too big, not condusive for being a van city builder. I'm not that builder who tows a utility trailer and dump trailer. Another builder on my street has the 3500 7 foot box with with extended crew cab, it's a bus. He was the one who pointed me towards the Silverado or Sierra

Smoking deals on the 2015's right now. Mine is silver, looks great. Picked it up last night at Carter GM at north shore auto mall. Put $10 grand down, I bought the extended warranty. The extended warranty actually saved me a ton of dough on my last truck on repairs

What do the payments look like at ten down?

Yeah I think that v6 has enough snot for me. I don't tow anything except my boat a few hundred feet here and there. How much more is leather ?

$360 per

I didn't go there regarding leather, so I don't know the difference, my trucks get pretty dirty from my work

I'm gonna get the rack installed behind cab, great for long lumber

What are some of the issues you've had Tops?

I had tire issues and Toyotatown in Langley was great helping me out. Gave me brand new tires and rims because they couldn't balance the tires properly. Even sent them out for road force balancing and then after driving for a while the tries would come back out of balance, you would feel a shimmy at high speeds. Once they threw new tires and rims on I haven't had an issue since.

So how are you liking this truck ? I'm looking hard at grabbing a 2015 or 2016 this summer. Is the 6 enough power ? My price range is 30 k so I think I should be able to get a decent rig for that couple years old and get the dealer to slap on some extra warranty. I don't want anymore than 60 K on the truck however. Just can't buy a Dodge and I'm done with my Ford.
