Sara_Rides Posted May 26, 2009 Report Share Posted May 26, 2009 So, today we tried to get my car refinanced so I could trade it in for a truck and it just didn't work out...damn. When will something go my way? My bike deal falls through, I can't get a truck...although I'm keeping my fingers crossed for the KLR250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw151 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 forget a truck..... GTI FTMFWI get 17-18mpg pulling 2 bikes at 80mph!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw151 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 In reality, I've actually considered getting a 2WD 4cyl japanese truck for this purpose. The non 4wd sit lower, get a short cab, long bed and it's an easy to load, fuel efficient way to transport your bike. I'm thinking like an isuzu or something...... but I have my GTI and a trailer and that works fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vw151 Posted May 28, 2009 Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 my dad has a relatively new 4cyl 4wd tacoma. Very nice truck. I joke with him though cause my GTI pulls that 2 bike trailer way better. but it has 200hp and 200ft-lbs of tq. I'd buy a truck but I can't have everything I want.

smashweights Posted May 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2009 Haha, i had no intention of buying a GM/Chrysler vehicle. Actually I almost feel like i need to buy a Ford just to reward them for not taking the bailout. and i would like to get a Tundra/Tacoma or Titan/Frontier if I can, they're just not cheap.@ VW - love the GTI, but i cant help feel that their styling is gonna make them one of those "what were they thinking" cars in 10 years, look too Geo Metro-like. But along that lines, I have been considering an Audi TT, be a pretty similar setup i'd imagine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
