I think Hummer might be hard to get parts for later or more expensive plus not keen on 5 cylinder

There is much more utility with a truck. I own a Jeep Grand Cherokee now and love it but I can't wait to trade it in for a new truck as soon as I can afford it.

several things...
Jan 14, 2013, 11:12 AM
|
|
the size: on the inside it's like a car or a mid-size truck.
Also, the windows are very narrow and make your view very limited all around, including the front windshield (I break my neck to try to look up at a stop light).
You probably will not get 20 mpg, but it'll still be a little better than the truck.
It is not a truck, so you won't have the luxury of the truck bed to haul stuff.
There are some good things though: Heated leather seats, XM radio, and women seem to like it. It gets that, "Oh, you have a Hummer?!" effect.
The main reason is because of the size. To me, because I'm a taller person, it just doesn't fit me.

Had a h3 too. Traded for a sequoia and have not missed it. H3 was too small and had huge blind spots. 5 cyl was under powered. Plus side was could turn on a dime, park in small space and was cool.

F-150 by far. Hummer not being made anymore

Love my F-150 my first truck will never go back to anything else. I have FX4 with Luxury package. Very similar to Lariat just different color on bumpers and insides and a little different on the 4x4 package i think

The last (and I mean last) fords I bought were the poorest vehicles I ever owned. I can't advise you because I don't know of a single vehicle made in the good ole usofa I would have. Impossible to buy a foreign made truck anymore. Remember that gmc has cut a deal with communist china so I would be reluctant to buy a chevy etc.

Recent Fords are much much better

Have been really happy with the last two we've bought in the last three years. It's a night and day difference in quality from the early 2000's to 2010'ish and up.

Question - and, I'm not trying to horn in on your deal...
Jan 14, 2013, 12:24 PM

lil' Beegshot (oxymoron?) just turned 18 and wants a F150 Supercrew.
I'm sure we'll end up in a '02 or possible an '03.
Are you getting the '05 for less than $16K?

Re: F150...hummer is a chic car. I've had many trucks..

But all mine are big diesels..hence the name heavydutytiger..in any case the Ford is a great truck all the way around. All I buy are Super duty's. have had Dodge..great motor(Cummins) but truck falls apart around motor. Bought brand new Chevy 2500 in 2010 with Duramax..did t even keep it a year and sold it. Just cannot beat Ford trucks whether 150's 250's or whatever
