Default Trading "horns" for the "bowtie"

I'm trading in my 03 ram 2500 longbox (horns) for an 06 silverado 2500 (bowtie). The 06 is loaded to the teeth, leather, sunroof and dark blue goodness. Sweet ride.

Let the flaming and/or praise commence.

Toyta's and Nissan (Titans) do not hold up in the oil field, where I work. We need heavy duty (diesel preferably) trucks that take a serious pounding. I've known 3 guys with titans and 2 guys with toyotas and I don't think they lasted much more than a year, if that. They just fell apart.

Normal city use where you haul a couch here and there they'd be great

What do you do in the oil fields that beat up the trucks so much? I have had my titan for three years and I beat the crap out of it in the mountains doing off roading and it has been the best truck I have ever owned? Just curious.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just messing, but I still love my DODGE RAM 2500 4X4 With the Cummins engine. It only has 117,000 miles and for a 99 that's not bad. I fully expect to get 400,000 miles out of the engine, and with less than 2 years to pay on it I'm gonna run naked around the neighborhood when I send in the last payment. Ok maybe not naked but you get the idea. I am never buying another truck as long as I live. I hate payments. In fact the 02 Camry will be paid for right around the same time, man that's is going to be awesome, that's like getting an $800.00 a month raise. I'll be counting the days.

Oh congrats on the new truck. A friend of mine showed up at work today with the 07 Nissan Frontier 4 door 4 x 4, and I have to say the truck is really nice. I drove it to the boat launch and back. Very nice. But I'm sticking to my guns, the time in my life shelling out money every month for vehicles is over. Peace.

Just make sure if we see each other that we have no eye contact.
