Yep, seen this before, we'll fix under warranty; this should not be happening. Make an appointment, we'll take care of it.
Man I wish I hadn't saved $20 by buying 90 miles away from here...
Just kidding, it's 1/2 way into my 2-mile "commute".

Classic.! .l.o.l...

Hmmm, that's probably how I can rack up 30k/year.

We are thrilled with the Titan. Going camping in a couple weeks, can rent a 22 ft travel trailer from services on base for just a small amount per day.......sure beats a hotel room.
Now you guys can put the betting sheets away, hubby has put the perverbial foot down and said its the Titan or a Tempo......I think you know my choice. lol
As for the travel trailer, yup, we are getting a bigger one. We have had our eye on a Forest River Surveyor 255RS....its 27 feet long closed and 32 feet long with the rear slide out. It has a dry weight of about 4500 lbs and a wet weight of around 6000 lbs. Its perfect for us.......sleeps 6 without using the dining room table or the sofa, convert those to beds and it sleeps 10. Price difference is only a couple thousand bucks between the big trailer and the one we were looking at (much smaller).
Its nice to not be limited by towing capacity. The Titan can pull any of the campers we've been interested in.
I'm sooooo glad we didn't buy a V8 Explorer and instead looked at the Titan, MUCH better vehicle.
This deal worked perfect for us and we are glad. I didn't get the color I wanted, but am happy with the one I got now that I have it. They call it Sedona, I haven't quite figured out *what* color it is.
did you get the utility bed pkg?
big tow pkg?
in the famous words of george costanza...
"i want details, and i want them RIGHT NOW!!!"
;-)
I swear that truck draws tons of attention around here since nobody else has one in my area.
nice truck, tho.
Duncan
and do you guys BELEIVE her nerve???? she bought a nissan...and it wasnt from ME!!!
:-(
As for the pool, well, this deal even surprised me, we were in the process of ordering the bigger hitch for the Explodeder when hubby wanted to look at the Titan first.
I don't regret it, I like my new truck.
I have officially declared the interior of the Titan a *dog free zone*, our dog can ride in the bed of the truck. She ruined the back seat of the Explorer by puking all over it, had to take the truck apart and still never got the sour dog food smell out of it......really nice to open the door of the truck after its been sitting in the hot sun all day. *GAG*
My biggest worry is finding winter tires for this beast. I don't think I can make the 16's from the Explorer fit......lol.
As for buying from you......well, um, sure, if you would have delivered the truck and take my 2 trades back with you. ;-)
Duncan
Duncan.....of course it would have been a mini, can't have any salesmen making money on my head now.
Congrats!
Steve, Host
Thanks, we love the truck!
My problem is I have my eye on a 2005 Outback/Legacy Wagon.
Terry.
Besides, soon there will even be a nicer car. And I do not want to do a Jolie.
By the way, my next pick for Joly is Sept 19, 2005.
SOMETHING will happen before then. The Titan will become too small or too big the ashtrays will get full, SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN!
And, don't forget they also own that V-10 Dodge Truck. Trust me, it will fail to fit the bill one way or the other.
No, it'll happen before the end of this year.
So, unless I am overwhelmed with auto lust, my eye keeps wandering.
The Sube was nice though (I sat in one the other day).
2020 Acura RDX tech SH-AWD, 2023 Maverick hybrid Lariat luxury package.
Besides, do you really think there would be a dealer out there who would put any money in a V10?? Nope. We shopped it before we traded the Explorer.......highest bid was $7k. That was for a 1999 Ram 3500 V10 4x4 reg cab dually, SLT Laramie, red/gray, with all of 19k on it and no, the Taliban didn't use it as a training camp, the truck is in great shape. That's fine, its hubby's truck, he likes it and it works for what he does.
I think the Titan will hang around for a while too, I like it, its big and quick, 2 of my favorite things with any vehicle. Plus it makes my brother jealous as h***. HEHEHE
Had we bought a V8 Explorer we wouldn't have gotten rid of it, but stupid me bought a base model V6 without thinking about the future. All I knew is the 97 Explorer I was driving was falling apart fast.
prediction: 2/20/05
I tell ya, that Titan gets attention. Was at the base yesterday, had it parked and was talking to hubby. Looked over at the truck and hubby says "uh oh", sure enough, there's the Chief looking it over.
Nobody else in this area (100 miles south of Fairbanks) has a Titan. I hope it stays that way. OTOH, everybody and his aunt and uncle has an Explodeder.
Count down is on, 24 hours until our fishing trip. Gotta load the Titan today.
Have a *little* faith guys. The last short bed truck I had, I kept for a whole year.......until I wrecked it.
I still prefer short bed pickup trucks over SUV's, so we'll see. Like I said, I kept the last short bed PU for a year.....then I wrecked it, darn mailman pulled out in front of me.
No more for me. I'm with Craig and Butch selling short.
I gotta get out of the commodities market.... :-)
Duncan
So...it had lots of power for the first three months?
Jolie, I've NEVER heard anyone better at justifing in their own minds reasons to get rid of cars.
Just admit it...you are hopelessly hooked on buying new cars constantly!
You are definatly the darling of this forum...BUT...be true to thyself!
The Dodge will be history by November.
Just got the call from the repair shop $450.55 that we have to pay, then I'm calling the GSM at the Nissan dealership and telling him *HIS* Chevy is ready to be picked up.
Come on, you gotta admit this was a fair move. We killed all kinds of birds.....got a truck that will tow, got rid of the Chevy for decent $$$, AND lowered our interest rate considerably.
Somebody slap me hard if we try to buy a new car anytime soon. We gotta save our big pennies for the travel trailer.
Hmmm, can't buy another new car........sounds like its time to visit the tattoo shop again.......hehehe. That's not too expensive of a habit unless I get carried away.
I'm still ticked about missing on May 15th.

Putting on my swami hat, I see a diesel Touareg in her future. The dog will complain about riding outside and my goodness, how did I ever live without an adjustable ride height before?
Tell you what...I'll give her the '89 Volvo. If Mrs. Lance has her way re: car payments, it'll be the last frickin' vehicle I'll ever own.
Cynically,
L
I can't buy a VW, the only dealership....sales and service is 300 miles away and we all know how *reliable* VWs are....I've owned 2 and they like the service dept.
I would bet money that I will keep the Titan for a least a year........how's that? Any takers? I got $500 that says I do keep it until at least next July. That is unless it gets totalled......sure hope not.
The dang dog can just BITE ME, she trashed my Explorer, puked all over the back seat. She is NEVER welcome on the inside of my vehicles again. Stupid dog.......you make me look bad.
get the sliding bed divider, and you can make a make-shift cage for the pooch.
Just to let you know, I checked with the GSM about the 17" wheels vs the 18" wheels, he said if its supposed to have 17" wheels and I want them, he'll switch them out. I dunno though, I love the 18's. He's very cool, I called him today to let him know the Chevy was good to go, so he's sending someone over to the repair shop to get it.
Hmmm, I just checked the door sticker and it says the OE size for that truck is 285/70R17. Looks like somebody robbed the tires/wheels of this truck.
