I wonder how much they’ll pay him for it? The way he’ll get screwed on taxes, he’d be much better off if they let him “trade” it straight up for the vehicle of his choice. ---

GM sold 850,000+ silverado/sierra the new body style Tundra thats supposed to be so badass sold 196,555… im sure 100k of will probably see about a sheet of plywood in the bed or maybe a boat on the back as for the Nissan fans… > **[Ghosn hints at killing Nissan Titan](https://www.autoblog.com/2007/12/16/ghosn-hints-at-killing-nissan-titan/)** > > No one doubts that selling full-size trucks in the U.S. is a tough racket. Nissan knows this firsthand, as it's sold only 60,961 units of its Titan pickup so far in 2007. Compare that to the third best-selling truck in the U.S., the Dodge Ram, which... whos gonna fill that hole… Acura/Honda??? hahaha dont make me fuckin laugh thats why they wont go outta business. ---

one problem that is facing GM is the actaully made good cars in the 80’s and early 90’s that last a long time and therefore they didnt get a fast turnover rate of repeat customers… they should have made disposable cars like the import makers. ---

one of my real estate clients runs a roofing business and has traded in a few full size chevy’s with close to 1/2 million miles (never hit 500, but crossed 400 with the last three) with the orignal motor and trannies… between him and his workers he averaged almost 100k per year on the last one… needless to say, almost his whole work truck fleet is GM (non-diesels at that) ---

my problem is though… ppl are saying GMs next, Fords next… fact of the matter is how many Titan dump trucks, Tundra tow trucks, how many import trucks do you see with spreaders and plows? until they start makin them… the Silverado/Sierra and F150/250 will be around… so for you American car haters that love stuffin your cock suckers with General Tso’s, get used to us… cause its gonna be along time before you see a Ridgeline with an HD badge on the side of it or the big bad Yota racers towin with there own product 😉 ![http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SilveradoTrucktowin.jpg](http://www.pittspeed.com/uploaded/SilveradoTrucktowin.jpg) ---
