Yeah I don't know...if I can get close to what I owe on my Camaro after equity and rebates I may just do it...I'm looking to pay off soon and buy a house. Otherwise, I would just do it.

I plan on getting a new Canyon. Not sure if I am going to trade the Camaro, though. I might keep it.

Supposedly adds 1-2 MPG.

I just traded a 2015 Silverado for my Camaro. I hated the truck. 2500HD with a gas motor. 12 miles per gallon and being a crew cab 4x4 it was always a pain to park.

Same here. I traded a 2012 F150 FX4 with Ecoboost. I don't miss it.

I do need a truck, but I'm going to find an older one with low miles. Something I can haul stuff in when I need to.

Trucks are good for

+Work
+Hunting
+Fishing
+Hauling sh*t

Camaro is good for

+Going fast

depends where your priorities are at. The case for the truck is much stronger though no matter what.

Pluto · 06-11-2015, 05:08 PM

Whatever I get, it'll be 2wd crew cab short bed

Yes with much regret!!! Traded in my 11 2SS/RS for a new Z71 I wish I'd bought an older truck to drive. I have a 2014 LS and my Z71 but I had my SS fixed up the way I wanted. I like my LS and I've done a lot of stuff to it but, it's no 2SS. If I could do it over again I'd still have my SS and a old truck to use as needed. It's been 3 years since I've done the deal. I've had my LS for 1 year

I've gone fast in many trucks over the years. Never went hunting or hauled anything in a hot rod. Years ago I did have an old Nova that I would hunt and fish out of. The key is to have both.

I just go to Home Depo and rent one when I need it. I think it cost me $21 the last time, but I only had the truck for 45 minutes.

Yah and don't forget trucks are good for when relatives want you to help move them...

I have a boat docked at a marina and I also have a wife that is always asking me to haul something off or pick something up she just bought.

I had an older camaro. Bought a new 2011 Sierra, then got rid of it an bought a 5th gen camaro. I dot have an extreme need for a truck and I love camaros so the choice was easy for me.
