I had a 2006 WRX Wagon, and it did a pretty decent job of pulling my 2 up trailer with both sleds around town but not something I'd want to take a on a cross country trip while towing 2 sleds. Well, unfortunately the subi is no longer with me and I'm trying to decide on a new/user car/truck..
Normally I have a good idea of what I want but I was pretty content with my subi and am now at a loss.. I'd go with another subi, but I have a few goals in mind that make it not fit the picture
Under 15k (I want to be able to pay it out pretty quickly..)
Diesel is a + but not necessary.
4x4 or AWD is a must
ability to tow my 2up trailer w/sleds is a must (long distances is a +)
ability to tow my 69 camaro is a plus.
non-towing MPG needs to be in the "20" range.
It will be my daily driver, so parking and normal driving comfort ect needs to be thought of..
To give you an idea of what I'm looking at..
1999-2001 F250s 4x4 Diesel Extended Cabs, and the equivalent chevy/dodge.
I've thought about going back with another Z71 (1/2 ton I had a 99 I was happy with before I got the subi)
want to avoid, 6.0lTD, 4.6l fords, and crew cab long beds..
I found a killer deal on a 2000 3500 (1 ton) Chevy 4x4 Crew Cab long bed TD.. but I'm not to keen on a 21' long truck. I think I may need to go to the docks and get parking permit it..
With that said, what do you have, what do you recommend.
