Ok guys and gals, I need some help here. I'm looking into getting a new truck, a new Chevy truck. I just bought a house two months ago and a truck is VERY convienent!
I have my 98 Firebird and an 89 F150. My fiancee drives a Cobalt. My fiancee can't drive my Firebird cuz its a stick, I've tried to teach her how to drive it, but she just can't get the hang of it. (so no posts saying "just teach her to drive it" haha)
My F150 is starting to nickel and dime me to death and I'm only getting 12 miles per gallon on a good day! Yeah, ouch! It's only a 300 Inline 6 and its getting that bad of mileage. I've even tuned it up recently. Plus none of the gauges work in the F150 except the speedometer, (talk about a major pain in the ***!) Basically the truck is starting to lose its reliability.
My dad worked for GM for thirty years and retired. I can get the GM employee discount whenever I want it (don't get excited guys, its only 5% but it's still better than nothing!) Getting a new truck would be so awesome since I'll be able to get rid of the F150, which sits almost all of the time except for its weekly drive to work. And I'll be able to get rid of the Firebird (boy- that was hard to type) which my fiancee can't even drive.
Whatcha guys think? I'd be getting the 4.8 Vortech V8 4x4. Anyone have any experience with this engine? Or am I better off with the V6? I do plan on buying a camper and stuff later on in just a couple of years (or months if money permits) My fiancee said she's all for me getting another Firebird later on too, she's cool about that stuff! :)
All opinions welcome and encouraged....WHAT SHOULD I DO??!! I need some advice! Keep the money-pit F150 and beautiful Firebird or just get a brand new Chevy Silverado!?
