New Cars/Trucks

[BBFarmer]

This continues to be a great discussion.

Much appreciated.

I might still look at both a truck and an Equinox as a package deal while some of their incentives are going.

Equinox AWD LT is probably the more important replacement and will likely look to replace her car in-kind. She's been happy with it.

Been a good car (knocking on wood) as @BBFarmer said a while back. That's a 1.5l I-4 turbo. First turbo I've had.

Trucks are just so difficult - - - I see BIG $$ GMC 1500 with the 3.0 diesels. Same with other Chevies with the 2.7L I-4 gas. Lot of options for not that much truck. Not a fan of the engines. Have many incentives on 1500 trucks right now.

Still get back to that 2500 Work Truck......has all I need and is a time-proven engine and transmission (although 6.6l replaced the 6.0 years ago). No incentives, which is a tough nut.

I will say this for the newer 1500s, they got the safety part down.

The neighbor I was helping this weekend totaled his brand new GMC yesterday. Almost 6k miles on her. His was the 3.0. '24 model I think.

A nice T boning at an estimated 55mph.

We got 2 roads with stop signs that intersect our main road that comes from the shop towards our homes. Once a month it seems a distracted moron will blow through one of them and about kill somebody.

How bout that front end though! His ole lady got a couple stitches in the leg, and he's got some cracked ribs and sternum but they're alive with nothing life threatening. Good job GM!
