Need advice on vehicle purchase. Im looking to sell my old truck and get into a new car/truck. Im pretty much open to any suggestions but looking to stay around the $40k - $45k mark. If you were to drop this amount on a car/truck right now to be your daily driver (based out of Charlotte) what would you buy and why? Really interested in different opinions. Hoping memorial weekend will have good sales going on.

Really depends STATE and location... Deals... I would suggest keep ur truck and work on it.. U can always have a backup

How big of a truck? If you're looking at the classic half tons, you'll be shocked at how little 40-45k new will get you these days (Based on MSRP that is)

Worth noting - If you are willing to buy a 2023 Ram and Ford are both struggling with high inventory levels and are offering pretty hefty incentives on their trucks.

Yeah half tons, I have an 09 ranger now and love the compact trucks back then but now they just aren’t doing it for me.

Thanks I’m not picky on the year and would def go for a 2023!

Depends on what your looking for in a truck you looking for, space, power, towing, off road, fuel efficiency?

Honestly, whatever you buy think about it like it's a Ford 1/2 ton. The 2.7, 3.5/3.7, and 5.0. Want max HP to burn that haul? Coyote hands down. Tow sometimes and want enough displacement to handle it? 3.7 or 3.5 if you understand Asian vehicles. Want to haul pillows in a full size? 2.7 is for you.

Keep in mind if it's dodge youake sure they give you 2 keys,that way you can program a 3rd or 4 the one free just by using them in the ignition or you'll be paying $ 700 bucks for a replacement key down the road

Ended up with an 2021 F150 XLT w/20k miles.

HOW Much $$ u got with that trade.. They will definitely try to mess up the paperwork. If its paid and not broken sit it aside and work on it

Ya dawg

In the past I’ve wrongly thought that forgiveness brings restoration of relationships. But reconciliation requires everyone involved to respond -which is beyond our control. Forgiveness says I’m canceling that debt- it’s my marker & I’m tearing it up. I’m putting myself in Gods hands -Justice comes from Him. We mistakenly think that forgiveness is weakness as if we just capitulated. Forgiveness isn’t a sign of weakness- It takes strength to forgive. God tells us to forgive.

I love the mostly-affordable mid engine sports car trend that’s happening. The emira is awesome and the price point is right. I’d love to see Maserati redo the gran turismo to compete with this, same with other manufacturers.
