    Need some advice on a vehicle purchase

    So the wife has decided that she's had enough of sitting low to ground in her Benz. So we are in the market for a truck.

    Both of us share a pretty large appeal for the diesel Canyon Denali. She likes the size (in relation to the size of my Ram) but feels that the power of the 2.8 Duramax is lacking, to which I agree.

    So with that being said, an option to purchase a 2016 Ram 2500 Cummins is not completely off the table.

    Does anyone here own one of these midsize diesels and can share their personal experiences, or any of our members work for a GMC store and can help structure a deal?

    On the contrary, to our ladies here, what are your thoughts on daily driving a 2500?

    Thanks in advance for any and all insight!!

    Honestly haven't looked at them. Might be worth exploring!

    There's a couple of guys on here complaining about their Nissan. You may want to avoid them for now. As much as I don't like Toyota, I hear they are using the same motor in the Tundra or what ever that POS is. I just don't like Jap cars anyway.

    For the buck, Dodge seems to be the best value and they're not bad trucks.


    2003- 3500 RWD Automatic.
    S & B intake, BD Intercooler, Pusher Air Horn, MM3 Double R Tuning, Turbo Timer, electric Flex-a-lite fans, FASS 95,
    50 HP tips, upgrade to 351 turbo, 3.42 gears, Twin air compressors, air bags, Remote dual oil filters, Hellwig sway bar, Front Winch. Home made Fuel Heater, BD Exhaust brake with Torque Lock. Tons of TLC

    Toyota isn't putting a diesel in the tundra. At least not in the states. And for a Jap company 95% of the Tundra is built and assembled in the US. I had a Tundra before my Ram...Got rid of it for piss poor fuel economy and drastically outdated technology, definitely won't be going back to a Toyota for a truck.

    Gonna avoid the Nissan too after input on this thread.

    Just gotta make the deciding choice on a small truck or a big truck!! And I agree, the Ram is a great truck and price friendly for the features. It's a strong contender for sure!

    Well there you go. Maybe it's not the Turdra. It's supposed to be going in their full sized jokeup. I've had Toyotas in the past. I was glad they got wrecked. My guys talked me into buiying them for company trucks. I don't keep track of the models so. . . . The guys at Nissan told me about Toyota using the V8. They weren't too happy about it

    You are correct. 94% is done here. But the parts are made in Japan like my wife's Hyundai Tucson. They buy the paint and labor here

    I don't think any 'non-truck' woman will openly admit to liking the ride of a true 3/4 ton. I'd go test drive the Cummins powered Titan for sure.

    Maybe the better question is.....what are you going to do with it? Or need it to do?
