its "Mrs.Crazy" again - what would I do without you all yelling at him for thinking about other kind of trucks. I think hes finally getting them out of his head, YAY! Besides once I can drive again, I plan on driving the new truck

Are you sure Tom will be ok with that?? During a decent snow last year my wife ran over a deer(not her fault), our neighbors mailbox and into my Mustang(in the driveway) all within a 1/4 mile of each other. I was hesitant to give her the keys to anything after that

Only car I ever totalled was the Dodge Shadow I hit with my old truck, so Mr. Crazy is well ahead of me in the traffic elimination Olympics.

Thats the plan. I hope he gets another Ford and I think he will but I do understand why he looked at all of the options. He is crazy but hes stuck with me so he better let me drive it

I think Tom is passed the loving hope your okay feeling, he just wants a new truck. To phillips91, I'm sry to hear about your cars but I'm glad your wife was okay. Stupid old snow! I grew up in Upstate NY and I HATE the snow with a passion

I've been thinking to myself since your incident, what would I do if forced to truck shop today. Like you, I think it is too early to get into a 2011, because of the lack of incentives as well as the unknowns of a 1st year engine. One thing that I would consider is to wait it out. We are right at 1 year before the 2012's hit the lot, and probably 9-10 months before the best incentives arrive to clear the lots. So buy an old beater for $2k and resell it for about the same price in a year. Meanwhile, stick your insurance settlement in the bank and earn some interest.
And the a/c is fixed lol still gota get the damn blower though and i know tom will get a 6.7. Hes a smart guy and will haggle the crap outta the salesman. Plus he'll have mrs crazy by his side lmao I still cant believe the word "toyota" or "chebby" or even "dodge" entered your head tom.. Im disapointed..

I'm thinking a good compromise may be an '11 6.2L gas truck. At this point I'm not sure.

Glad to hear you guys got it figured out! Honestly I REALLY REALLY want a new 6.7L truck. Not sure I can justify the ~$650/month payments with the new house purchase. I honestly don't know what I'm gonna do.
