U-haul

1tuffram,



Seems to me your '95 and a trailer big enough to handle it would be around 10,000-11,000 pounds. I'd say thats's a decent load. you will have to look around for a good equipment trailer or a real car hauler - not the small car hauler that u-haul rents.



Enjoy the new rig!! Who are you getting it from?

1tuffram,



You might want to consider renting a travel trailer for a weekend or something. That way you could go camping and not just be hauling an extra truck around. Just food for thought. Have fun towing whatever you hook up to.

I finally decided on Johnson Auto Plaza in Brighton, nice easy going folks (fleet sales dept) and totally no pressure. I posted a thread in the General forum "? about dealer quote" or something along those lines around 2 or 3 weeks ago. I think if you scroll back far enough you can find it. Anyway all the mud is posted of what I found and the ordeal with Prestige in Longmont. Got several quotes from dealers locally and out of state. After all the dust settled I decided on Johnson's. I paid a little more ($50-100) more than what Prestige was going to do, but Johnson's treated me like I expect to be and not constantly hounding me to "sign the papers" as Prestige did. Oh yea, then there was the decitful price Prestige gave over the phone. When we sat down to look the numbers over is when they dropped the $393 dealer prep and handling mark-up on me. there was a WHOLE lot of :-{} going on for a bit along with the typical sad story of "we will make NO money selling at invoice". They where not honest about the current rebates, I knew there was a $1000 dealer incentive/cash being offered at the time and asked what it was about. they tried to tell me the delaer cash was only available for lease options on top of the Loyalty lease rebate and since I was not leasing it did not apply. What a lie, I know they do not have to share any of the dealer incentive/cash with the customer and it can only be applied if the factory is offering any delaer incentive/cash at the time of delivery (so in this case it would not apply to me since by the time my truck would arrive from the factory the dealer incentive offering would be long gone), so they just should have told me all this. Instead they try and feed me a line of it is something it really is not along with saying they will make NO money selling me a truck without any mark-ups, I then commented about the 3% hold-back on MSRP they get, and put an end to thier weining of they would make no money. I finally walked out when they agreed to drop all dealer mark-up provided to bought something on the lot, that day!!! They knew before I arrived they had nothing on the lot matching what I was looking for (they even did a 10 state dealer locate before I arrived and came up empty handed), so I politley said my far-wells and left. On the way home I swung by Brighton and ordered my truck.
