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.

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

why?
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

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.

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