manitoubass2 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Posted August 11, 2017 You said you loved your Jeep Liberty. Till it broke down lol. That wasn't a truck though I had a dodge avenger I also really liked. Again, not a truck
Loonietoon Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Posted August 11, 2017 Kelvin PM me if you like... Done
Old Ironmaker Posted August 11, 2017 Report Posted August 11, 2017 (edited) Kelvin honestly based on my buddies 14' Ran 1500 4x4 Hemi he bought new I wouldn't buy a new Dodge truck. He has had nothing but silly problems with it and it is at the dealership constantly it seems, mostly electronic issues. And 1 big problem. A rear wheel fell off going 100KPH down Hwy 3. Lucky no one was hurt or worse. They won't take responsibility for the damages. Each chrome wheel nut is something crazy like 30 bucks each and a single rim is 600 bucks, and it's chrome clad not solid alloy, wowza. Edited August 11, 2017 by Old Ironmaker
leaf4 Posted August 11, 2017 Report Posted August 11, 2017 With the electronics again... My work truck has Sirius, sometimes the display freezes and I can no longer control anything but the volume, then it resets after and it's a crap shoot whether or not it works at that point lol
Loonietoon Posted August 11, 2017 Author Report Posted August 11, 2017 Thanks for the info and input guys Much Appreciated
ecmilley Posted August 11, 2017 Report Posted August 11, 2017 Just wanting to know if any one knows of any issues l should know about... other tan ex studs breaking and 8.4 inch radio issues nothing really odd headlight wiring parksense harness in rear bumper gets corroded and regular wear tear items our issues are air suspension pumps and Eco diesel reliability
scugpg Posted August 12, 2017 Report Posted August 12, 2017 (edited) I have a Jeep with the 8spd and 8.4 screen. Both have been excellent and no issues. Just ensure latest software is up to date you should be just fine. Ram would likely be my pick if I was looking for a truck. Great powertrain and the u connect system I liked better than some other brands' technology. Also no issues with air suspension or ecodiesel here. Edited August 12, 2017 by Spooled
Woodsman Posted August 12, 2017 Report Posted August 12, 2017 I have a 2014 Jeep Wrangler bought new. Just passed 100,000 Kms. Other than oil changes the only things I've replaced is in the last month. A battery & a front signal bulb.
grt1 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Posted August 13, 2017 i have a 2013 dodge i bought in 2014 and i love it . has the hemi, 4x4 and it is just what you need when it snows up here. had a 2006 and traded it for the 13, the new truck i have has the full sized rear seats and the old one was just a straight cab. if you get the dodge you won't be sorry.
buick14 Posted August 13, 2017 Report Posted August 13, 2017 2014 aint that new.LOL What I have heard and read, they program to the way you drive. When I got mine new off the lot, It was a little ragged. Jerky. Then I had it updated and it,s been smooth. ITs a "learning" tranny I'm told as MF says. Mines still jerky in my ecodiesel when it's cold or in the am the first shift or two, then it seems fine.
Loonietoon Posted August 14, 2017 Author Report Posted August 14, 2017 Thank people still looking at all the info on trucks for sure... just not to sure about ford still and chev gmc way to expensive for them
leaf4 Posted August 14, 2017 Report Posted August 14, 2017 For what it's worth... I'm loving my 2017 Sierra elevation, not cheap but it's awesome so far, plus 0% on my financing was huge, I wouldn't have purchased it without it
misfish Posted August 14, 2017 Report Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Also look for online specials Kelvin Terry gave me the heads up on mine. Brand new $18 K out the door. Also right now is inventory clearance time. Deals to be had. Edited August 14, 2017 by Misfish
John Posted August 14, 2017 Report Posted August 14, 2017 Another secret John? Come on man, a forum is about sharing information, and we would all love to hear your opinions. I shared the information with Kelvin.

Andy Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 I have a 2012 Ram 1500, crew cab, hemi, SLT model. It has been an awesome truck. Great power when you need it, gets 28 mpg on long trips that mix town and country. Fuel economy really shines on the 401 where the RPMs seem to find their sweet spot. (And you're not spending too much time in the right lane.) The ride can't be beat. I was always a GMC guy. Now I would likely consider the Ford number 2. It has a flat floor and an amazing amount of room in the back of a crew cab.

boombap Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 How the heck did you manage a price like that???thats insane!! Maybe it was a RCSB?
misfish Posted August 15, 2017 Report Posted August 15, 2017 (edited) How the heck did you manage a price like that???thats insane!! No I'm connected Lol. LOL The quick story They had 2 trucks, both single cab ,short box. One white, one black. White was an 8cyl,black was the 6 cyl. Even though I wanted a truck, I still wanted something easy on fuel. Black was $21,000. White was $17,999. So I start chatting and ask why more for less? Meaning, less for the 8 then the 6. They said supply and demand, yet they are saying inventory clearance. So I say, black for the price of the white, this amount for my Avenger as the trade in. The reply was, will you be taking it before sept 1st. Ah ya. Then Im thinking, thats was a weird question. Find out that was the dead line for their , win the dealership award for selling the most cars and trucks. Leverage to me. So I say now, Black truck plus a hard top cover and we have a deal. HMMMMMM OK. So black truck,cover out the door,$18,000.Still owed on the avenger,so it all balanced out in the end. Bought it in Mississauga. Ontario Crysler. Barrie was out to lunch on their prices. I couldnt by a used truck for that price here. Edited August 15, 2017 by Misfish
ecmilley Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 The cheapest truck is the hemi with the 6 sp the pentastar only comes with the zf8 sp
dintymoore Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 They're the cheapest truck for a reason. Anything Chrysler is garbage. Spend more, get a Tundra.
manitoubass2 Posted August 16, 2017 Report Posted August 16, 2017 They're the cheapest truck for a reason. Anything Chrysler is garbage. Spend more, get a Tundra. My dream truck
