These are intriguing. $30k for a 4x4 base model. Seems like it could be good for a DD/once a month towing machine. Could sell stuff and save for a bit and have a good down payment.

starting at $36,475

I optioned a Tradesman with reg cab, 4x4, and ecodiesel and it was just over $33k. Then they had a couple incentives going that got it to $30k.

Well that's just bad advertisement then!

I think I might have added tow package and a different color which had the MSRP just over $33k. Their site is not very intuitive

I'm not much of a gadget or creature comforts person. I haven't had working AC in anything since the first summer I had my Jeep in 2005 haha

Agree 100%. The appeal for me here is something that can get 80% of the mileage of my car and tow my Jeep 70% as well as much truck (assuming it's running right which seems to be a 50/50 shot haha) with a 100k warranty for what I consider a reasonable monthly payment.

Definitely tempting.

That's the way to go!

Those guys aren't running California after I think 2016 though. Fuckers are forcing repowers, new trucks, aftermarket filters...

Yeah the 3.0 numbers are pretty impressive.  Although if the titan really gets 24 that's doubling my current mpg's ::)

My cousins ecoboost is getting 22 highway. Towing 7-8 k once a month is acceptable IMO.
I wouldn't buy one to haul for hire.
But loaded it's 50 grand
