Time for a new daily

Well it's that time again.

Camaro is stupid fast now. Costing me way too much money with the meth to DD because I have a lead foot. Things got no traction at 80mph.

So it's DD shopping time.
I have 30-35k to spend on one. Going to be a pickup. I was originally going to get a 350z but I was tempted to turbo it so I decided NO.

My 3 contenders:

1. Dodge SRT10 pickup
2. Ford Raptor
3. Dodge R/T pickup

Decide! 30-35k to spend. Help. I need to buy it in the US and ship it overseas.

30 to 35 probably wont get you a raptor. At least shipped overseas. I would pony up a bit more and make that happen.

I agree with Scrappy, I don't see $35k getting you a Raptor, but I too encourage you to up the funds a little (if possible) and get one. They're incredible trucks!

Why no love for Diesels?

I destroyed about three or so light duty and gas powered pick ups before I made the diesel switch about 10 years ago and have never looked backed. I've had great luck with my modified Cummins equipped Ram's.

1,000wtq and 1.6 60ft's with just a tune

So wait are u needed a DD for better gas mileage and u want a truck with bigger gas tank and gets worse gas mileage?? Why no love for Chevy trucks. Id say get a Ecoboost Ford cause the dodge isnt the greatest in reliability right now.

If you can find a raptor for 35k, get that.

Out of those 3, the Raptor.

Although I'd prefer a Chevy diesel truck if it has to be a DD...

Raptor, then Dodge Ram R/T, despite previous comments, both will get you realiability, the Ram will get you considerably better gas mileage and be cheaper to purchase, but the Raptor will get you through the apocalypse.
