Funny you should mention that. I actually seem to enjoy being irritable and crotchety. Also, I noticed you have been practicing for old age for a few years now.
Have to ask Bob or Lary if Gold Bond Powder helps when your crotchety gets really bad.

I need an unbiased opinion.

When I make my december Xterra payment. it'll be paid for and more importantly, it'll be my turn to get a new ride.

The chevy commercials are getting to me. a diesel is still out of my price range and the new dodges are kinda ugly.

So, 1500 series Chevy Crew cab 4x4 with the 5.3L or 6.2L or Frontier crew cab 4x4 4.0L.
Ultimately, its gonna come down to cost, but with the offers that some of the chevy dealers around here are pulling, the 1500 would only be a couple grand more than the frontier based on MSRP and the way I wanna equip them.
Chevy has more room, more power, more capacity.
Frontier has better fuel mileage and I know more about them.

I don't NEED to practice anymore. It's the real deal now!

LoL.

Fronty, my vote is for no payments and to use a wheelbarrow when you need to move something (I hate car payments).

Yeah, I would like to, but Im at 189K on my truck and will be about 195 by then. My existing Fronty is getting a bit long in the tooth, Im looking at another timing belt, and another round of 100K maintenance. Combine that with random body damage, I could go longer. I have faith in the truck.

Is that a Freudian slip or did your wife type that

Edit: Oh man, I am so slow. All this time I thought that Fronty was part of your name or something. I just realized that Fronty is what some people call a Nissan Frontier duhhh

Bob: Glad to hear it was nothing serious even tho it prob'ly scared the heck outta you!
Hey hey, what is this "OLD" stuff? I'm just a young squirt yet. YEH. Scared me? Oh yeh - - been there, done that, have the big scar to prove it. Had a calm about it though.

HUH???? Gold Bond Powder???? What is that????? Now let's see - - I perceive that was supposed to be a dig - - - but no one knows anything about this magic powder except a certain guy named Mulch - - or Bark - - or something like that. So, what does that tell us about this certain individual? HHMMM????

Ok, off to beddy bye - - still don't have the sleep thingy back in line. Duh, amazing.

its a nissan thang.
fronty, x, maxy, alty, pathy,

The Frontier is big enough for 90% of what I do. I have run into a couple occations where the bed is a bit short and narrow. payload is fine and tow is fine for my needs.

I've thought about used, but not sure. I may.

Based on the pictures, I've been in bigger out houses.

Actually Bark, this is more likely what you'd want. http://www.antimonkeybutt.com/

Fronty, I'd vote for the Chevy from the maintenance angle.
