If you're really interested in a compact truck for the utility, I'd suggest the Nissan Frontier. It's an older design, but the discounts are huge, the reliability is amazing because all of the bugs have been worked out, you can get a manual transmission with the 4WD, and the V6 is a torquey...
We've been looking at trucks lately and we will definitely get one next year. The only reason we're waiting is because we decided to buy a house first. We were shopping new trucks. Make sure you go and drive as many as you can to figure out what you like. My choices were completely different...
I'm in the same boat at the OP (except the Glocks. More of a Springfield XD-S guy). I lived in Chicago and it SUCKED in traffic jams. I moved out west and now I have the chance to enjoy it. Definitely get a different exhaust and install the Steeda clutch spring assembly. It'll make traffic more...
Makes me even happier that I was able to snag a base 2016 for about $28,000!
I do think it's interesting how you can upgrade to the SYNC 3 screen/better stereo and auto climate control on the base now, but with that price hike I'm surprised it's not standard.
Welp, that didn't take long. HVAC screen won't turn on. But it's ok, it's not like it's 95 degrees outside. Ugh. Hopefully when I get home I'll pull the negative battery terminal for a reset and it'll work.
I got my installation completed. If you take your time, it's pretty straighforward. Everything works perfectly and looks great. I even have the rear park assist show up on the smaller scosche screen. Advice for you guys installing a unit like my AVH-4200 with a screen that flips down- try...
I'll be installing the Scosche kit with a Pioneer AVIC-4200 headunit soon and I'll take pictures. I'm also trying to work up the courage to re-run my speaker wires through the molex connectors in the doors. And in related news I'll have a TomTop unit to sell soon that's had updates from...
I'm going with the pioneer. I've had lots of their headinits before and they're amazing, especially if you want good sound quality. The auto-EQ thing looks pretty interesting too.
Exactly! I've had some people think I'm nuts for saying that the BMW interiors aren't that much better than my mustang. I don't think the materials quality is that good until you get up into the super expensive models where everything is wrapped in leather or alcantara. And honestly, the...
I'm going to second this. I have a couple co-workers with BMWs that have passed warranty and it has not been kind to their pocketbooks. And it's not the kind of stuff you can fix on your own. It's all of the electronic goodies that go crazy and it gets wicked wicked expensive.
I got both a truecar and a Costco quote (which was actually less than truecar). I used that as leverage saying that I could order a car with exactly what I wanted for this price, which was about 10% below MSPR. I then emailed a bunch of dealers and made them duke it out. When one sent me a...
Correction! It's $349 if you buy the headunit from them. I got the Pioneer 4200NEX for $499, and I used my $8 of reward credits towards it. I'm freakin' pumped to get this installed.
Crutchfield and ebay both have the Scosche kit for $399. I had originally ordered the Metra but the vendor said it was going to be delayed for months so I cancelled. Glad I didn't wait because this one looks like what I want.
