This isn't backyard **** measuring at a barbeque. This is just keeping it legal and getting the most value for the buck. If a business owner realizes that he has to send out two trucks to do the job that one can do that's literally burning up money and taking equipment from one job when it can be used on another.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Dec 16, 2006 7:41 pm) None I assume ( j/k right/ ). It's the sheriff's deputies and the insurance adjusters/underwriters that'll decide all that. In addition I've heard but cannot confirm that some states now are requiring any truck with a trailer must stop and go over the scales. Over the GVWR? ... then dump something on the side..after the ticket.

| The rated towing capacity has nothing to do with anything other than what the vehicle can tow without overheating on a test track. That fact is pointed out regularly in the reputable mags. Stopping in an emergency is going to be 90% relied upon by the trailer brakes. Doesn't matter much what the tow vehicle is. | |
| The window sticker is $33,640 I do not want to disrespect the dealership with too low of an offer. So I would like to offer $25,640 Thats -$8000. Does anyone know if they will bit on this offer or just laugh at me. Thanks joe | |

Replying to: chevy598 (Dec 16, 2006 8:10 pm) Annual Sales Ford.... 900,000 units GM...... 900,000 Dodge... 350,000 Toyota.. 120,000 Nissan.. 60,000 Because of ... an old style, smallest engine, turmoil a the top and 50% of workers leaving Ford loses 20% of it's sales ( 10% GM / 10% Toyota ) - 180,000 units Dodge which is in an incredible mess ( see Det Press ) with an old design loses 20% of it's sales ( 10% GM / 10% Toyota ). -70,000 units Nissan with a capable but very limited vehicle ( two cabs, one engine, very limited payload ) lose 10% - 6,000 units GM actually gains sales overall ( Lutz' view ) to 1.0-1.1 Million units. + 150,000 units Toyota gains the rest of the 'defectors' as well as increasing it's deliveries to current Tundra owners ( + 20% ) + 130,000 units It wouldn't be too hard to envision a jump to 200K+ units in 2008 ( 2007 is only a part year ). However if gas jumps to $4.00/Gal all bets are off, anything could happen.

Replying to: kdhspyder (Dec 17, 2006 7:01 am) For years Dodge has made a living putting attractive sheet metal over unreliable under pinnings, and they still sell 350k a year. Dodge Ram owners are almost as fanatical about their rides as mustang owners. Toyota will have a tough time getting Ram owners to leave their trucks. Even when you drive by in your reliable Tundra and their stuck on the side of the road with a blown transmission. Fords unveiling their new Super Duty at the NA auto show in January. The Americans pour money into updating their trucks every year. Their so afraid of losing market share in a "bread & Butter" segment. Check out the long term road review of the Silverado over at Inside Line and you'll see how solid the product choices already are. When a long term review has 3k miles on it and the only complaint is the heater buttons, you can see how competitive the segment is.
