Howdy all, just picked up my new 2005 SE KC.  I went out yesterday and test drove 5 trucks.  The Dakota, Ranger XLT, Tacoma Pre-runner, Colorado and the Frontier.  It was an obvious choice.  I just traded in my 2000 BMW 323i for it.  I needed a truck for work and wanted something with a little bit more fun and durability to it.  I put 24,500 miles on my BMW in just 9 months and I figured it was time for something that would take the beating.  I have to say this truck is a lot of fun, I'm not impressed with the tires on it, General tires aren't one of my choices.  I got the 16" alloys and floor mats, who needs power windows and door locks.  This thing has more horsepower than my old 5.0 Mustang.  Can't wait for it to be broken in. 

Chat with you all later!

Welcome to the org.  The trucks are fun no matter which year you get. 

I agree with the tires 100%.  Then I made even worse mistake and put Cooper Trendsetter 2s on.  (tight on money) 

I need to change those out sometime.  I'm thinking of ordering some Eldorados in.  Can't find them in the local area.

Thanks!  Try www.tirerack.com I buy my tires from there all the time.  They have the best prices.  Then I just take it to Wally World to get them installed.  Saves a lot!

Unfourtantley they don't carry Eldorados.  I can easily do my own tires as well.  Though I sometimes do get lazy.

I get the feeling I could rattle anything in a 2-block radius

Most people I run into think it's a Titan.  I just call it Titan Jr.
