FWIW remember now days Z71 does not mean 4x4, they make a 2wd Z71.

Yup, now if it's a z71 4x4 the rear sticker says 4x4 on it. Looked at trucks a while back and noticed this.

If you don't mind a smaller truck you can get a 4 door 4x4 Colorado with a 5.3 in it now. Drove one with 4.10's and it had some go for a 4x4, plus it was easier to drive than a full sized pickup. Fully decked out is about 30k sticker, so you do the math.

At 30k what kind of interest and how many years for that deal? What's the sudden need for a 4th vehicle? Could always get a used one.

It's called a Z71 appearance package. I believe the badge is a different color. Crawl under it and make sure it is 4WD. I have a buddy that had that happen to him. New Z71, showing it off.

His dad says "Cool, where are the buttons for the 4WD"

My buddy: "They should be here somewh......%$*&$#&*(!"

Even with wheels that truck looks gross. Nice Fast and the Furious tail lights.

I do believe those are after market wheels.

I think the new F-150s are pretty nice.

The 2010 Dodge Ram looks pretty badass too.

HYBRED just got this one.

I like the rams way better than the f150s. The rams look more aggressive. I saw a brand new 3500 ram mega cab today and i liked it a lot. However, 2011 6.2 a6 sierras are my favorite.

the 2010 f150's are ok, the gauges and **** look a lot better then what they used to, but i still dont like the new body style... the rams look decent but the biggest thing that pisses me off about that "truck" is the grandma shifter in the higher class truck... that looks like a shifter out of a honda odyssey, really im serious... i like the column shifters IMO... the new sierra's are just plain sex, everything about them is just sexy, the interior is pretty bad ***... the fords are bigger inside though but i still like the sierra better.

What does your truck look like? Just wondering because if it must be WAY nicer than a brand new F-150 4x4. If this was your thread that opinion would be of some value, but the guy asked for help and that's what I offered him.

After all he may like nice things and jump at the chance to get a deal on them.
