manitoubass2 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) After using basically every truck imaginable in the oilfield/mining, I finally found one I was happy with buying and pulled the trigger. Edited May 4, 2017 by manitoubass2
leaf4 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Beauty! Congrats! I've been mulling over getting one myself... Just finished my last block of school and once I write/pass my C of Q I get a 20% raise, those Sierra elevation editions have caught my eye
Old Ironmaker Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 (edited) Well at least now I know you have good taste in both women and trucks. I drive a 2011 silver grey Chevy Silverado, crew cab, with the chrome package including running boards. First "new" vehicle I ever bought for myself. Actually it was a gift from Tich. Based on the chrome wheels it is close to if not a 011'. Welcome to the F-150 and Ram killers club Richard. I can't give you any advise on what can go wrong because I haven't had to do anything outside normal service every 12000 KMS. Tires, brakes are all normal wear and tear. Changed front pads last week at 110,000 KMS and put new tires on, Cooper Discovery. The Discovery's are more aggressive than the all seasons that came with it new. The only thing hat happened within he first 10,000K was rear brake adjustment and a slight leak in the rear gear case. Don't forget to run her in 4X4 high once and a while as well as low for a few hundred meters. Congrats on buying a real truck. Edited May 4, 2017 by Old Ironmaker
aplumma Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Awww sorry I would have stopped you if you had told me. After all friends don't let friends drive chevys. Very nice truck though. Art
esoxansteel Posted May 4, 2017 Report Posted May 4, 2017 Very nice truck Rick Im a Dodge man by heart and soul, got it from my dad, but i really like those new Sierras, and Silverados, especially with the after market accessories available, and the front grilles matching the body panels.
manitoubass2 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks guys! OI it's a 2016 I've owned many vehicles but never a truck. Pretty excited about it!
BassMan11 Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Gteat choice MB2. I made a purchase myself last week. You will be happy with it Ready for the season. Now if the water levels in Ottawa would just go down a bit we will be all good to go! Edited May 5, 2017 by BassMan11
myot Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 Must be the week of new trucks I picked mine up Tuesday
manitoubass2 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Posted May 5, 2017 Lol, must be! A whole lotta new fishing spots just opened up???
Old Ironmaker Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) Rich a Ford, why oh why, the humanity. I haven't seen those chromed slot wheels on any Chev after 2012. Interesting. Looking closer yes she is similar but has the rear bumper step up that I really need, actually I need a ladder now to get in the box. I'm really surprised a northern boy like you has never had a pick up. Living on the 36th floor in a downtown apt in 76' I had a pick up. Nice ride Bassman. My last truck was a 89' Sierra, she went away with 600,000 K's on her. GM gave me 3500 bananas on a GM loyalty trade in. And other than all the body metal gone it ran like new, the frame was solid still. Edited May 5, 2017 by Old Ironmaker

The post on the left is to grab and pull yourself up if you need to lol

The post on the left is to grab and pull yourself up if you need to lol In a work truck that lil device is worth its weight in gold. I like all trucks. They all have upsides/downsides Ideally I was going to buy a tundra, just couldn't find the right deal. $65,000 is alot of mula. But im more than happy with this purchase, as is the wife. We REALLY needed a second vehicle
chris.brock Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 (edited) This guy pretty well sums it up. Nice rig Rick! Edited May 5, 2017 by chris.brock
manitoubass2 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Posted May 5, 2017 Hahahahah holy Christ Chris, don't get banned That is hilarious ????
grimsbylander Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 Beautiful truck Rick! Gonna just throw the herd of kids in the back under a cargo net??? Nice! Can't hear them on the long drives, no worry about spilling juice boxes and all you have to do is hammer the brakes to get their attention!! That's some solid family planning! PS That's the exact truck I'd buy. I have the same model and colour in a 2012 and haven't had a single issue.
AKRISONER Posted May 5, 2017 Report Posted May 5, 2017 oh man, became a truck man myself last summer for the first time...i will never not own a truck again...only vehicle that you can call a vehicle as well as a tool...problem now is that I have too many friends that want my help lol
manitoubass2 Posted May 5, 2017 Author Report Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks again guys! T minus 50 mins before she shows up!!!!
