Which turned out to...

    Well if you cant get a truck this way, you might try talking with matt at conway. The lease purchase they offer is a fair program. He told us he can push through some credit problems if you have work history with conway.

    leather or cloth interior

    We changed out one of our cloth seats with a non cloth one. We did sweat a lot, from the material, but after fifty thousands miles the seat still sits as if it were installed yesterday. Seems the cloth lets the foam break down faster. If we decide to spring for leather or not next time is to be...

    $ Savings Ideas

    We found a mini george forman grill it's big enough to cook two 1/2lb patties or any sort of steaks and even makes a great grill cheese sandwich. Dosn't pull too much off the inverter and has saved us a bundle when we go through a steak everyday phase. We found it at myers its small about 8" by...

    NEED HELP FROM THE PRO's

    I agree the INT is the better out of the two, have driven several cats and none of them had much power after 300000 miles our INT has 470000 and is still going strong. Only draw back there are not as many service points and even fewer that dont keep bankers hours. Good luck
