OK, so why didn't you say that from the beginning?

Also, the 100 miles per day drive is not a valid argument. It will cost you 4 gallons of fuel in the small truck, and 4 gallons of fuel in a fullsize.

You are comparing the smallest engine in the fullsize, to the biggest in the canyon.

Insurance might be cheaper.

He bought it used and got a good deal on it.

$5000 more he could have a newer Tahoe.

You're not very good at reading are you?

the v6 in the colorado is rated to 24
the v6 in the fullsize (as I already posted) is rated to 24
the V8 in the fullsise is rated to 23.

Your point remains invalid, unless you are going to get the stick shift 4 cylinder 2wd colorado (27) and compare it to the v8 crew cab fullsize (23) and even then your comparison for mileage would suck.

You are obviously sold on one, so buy one.....i am sure you will love it

How many newer Tahoes do you see in the 11-12k range with under 150xxx miles? I just did a quick cl search and I sure as heck didn't find many.

Just buy the Colorado already.

 

[GearDrive]

I don't want the Colorado. I want the canyon.

 

[kickstand]

I don't want the Colorado. I want the canyon.

Why? Does the canyon get better mileage than the coloraydo?

I apologize, I do not know him, nor the situation he is in. I should not of commented on his vehicle purchase.

Why? Does the canyon get better mileage than the coloraydo?

Naw Dawg. It looks cooler...and costs more money. The starting price of the Canyon is $875 more than the Colorado. $875 is a lot of money. I could put that money into my ROTH and get a new truck for that.

 

[GearDrive]

Why? Does the canyon get better mileage than the coloraydo?

Because you think its uglier.

 

[fordbronco]

I must say, if you look at both of them side-by-side....they almost seem like completely different trucks. The Canyon looks a lot better than the Colorado IMO.

 

[kickstand]

I don't think either is uglier than the other

Why did you buy a WK and not a Tahoe?

Simple; personal preference. The WK is more ascetically pleasing to me than a Tahoe, and I was not concerned about physical outside size and inside leg room; I knew how much the WK had before I decided to buy one. Having owned a tahoe (OBS anyway), there is not much more room in that vs my purchased WK.

....and I got a good deal on it

$5000 more he could have a newer Tahoe.

If I was concerned about the size of a vehicle I would have not chosen a WK in the first place. They are not small SUVs, smaller compared to a tahoe, but not enough to make a difference IMO


As it has been stated already, you've apparently already sold yourself on a Canyon; we are simply stating how your reasons are incorrect for deciding to buy one. They do not get better gas mileage than a fullsize and in the long run are not any cheaper.

Those are arguments that I would use to convince the boss lady to let me buy a new truck. They really aren't true, but she doesn't know that.

Ground up rebuild of the Comanche? It would be cool with an LS motor in it.

 

[jeepfreak81]

Thank you. I feel it will fit my needs better than a fullsize.

If you can't get a 90s full size down your trails this won't fit either

 

[GearDrive]

So a new full size is is not even an option.

Yes!

Quoted for awesomeness.
