Well finally broke down and bought a new to me truck. It sure does pull my trailer a lot better than my GMC Sonoma. Here are some pics.

Looks real nice! Is it a 2002? Looks like one based on the wheels. Congrats!

Very nice truck, but why would you wanna mess up such a pretty truck and interior with the mess that goes with landscaping?

I am not a full time LCO, or probally not considered even a part timer for some folks standards. I really only have 2 properties that I maintain. I picked them up when I bought my Toro just to pay for the mower.

So really it will not get messy, and I have a touch of OCD when it comes to my vehicles, so it will get a bath at least 1 time a week.

Yes it is a 2002. Good catch. I wish it was at least an 03, so it would have came with the hemi, but the 360 has plenty of power for me.

When I bought the truck, it only had 12,400 miles. Truck came with everything, tonneu cover w/ rails, nerf bars, flowmaster exaust, spray in rhino liner, load locks for the bed, chrome bug shield.

Same here. Just because it's a work truck doesn't mean that it can be nice and clean. Looks like a great truck. Congrats!:weightlifter:

The 5.9 is a good engine. For a 1500, I would just take a 4.7 or 4.8 whichever it is. My uncles 1500 has one and it does fine. Plenty of power.
Nice Truck, good luck with it!

I think its funny how almost everyone who posts a pic. of their truck or equipment, they get their dog in it too. Truck looks nice, very plush.

Yea it does pretty good. It is really surprising because they say the 5.9 is weak against the Chevy/GMC, and the Ford, however I find the power to be great. Today I really sensed it's upper end of power when I guy was going about 53 MPH in a 55MPH zone. I said to myself, well looks like we are gonna see what this goat has. Surprisingly the old goat just jump up and took off. I love this truck so far!!

Nice! Very nice! I love the new headlights. Seems like they only done minor cosmetic changes for 06 and 07. Very nice. You will like that white a lot better than the black like mine. This is my first black vehicle, and it don't take long for it to get dirty. But when it's clean I think black is the baddest color on a car/ truck.

Congrats on the new truck!!!

Thanks.... everyone says Black & white are the hardest to keep clean. I'm not good at it with any color but maybe i will now for a while anyway.

Enjoy your new ride....
