So I was going to purchase my new Toyo Open Country 315/75/16s M/T this week. Then I got to thinking before I start putting too much money into this truck... is this the one I want? I pretty much got the basic adventure package with cloth and no real options besides side steps and the trailering package. Well the 5 tires were going to cost me 1,300 total out the door mounted and balanced.

Well I calledmy dealer and talked with them about what I was thinking andwehave worked out a pretty sweet dealfor a fullyloaded 2007 H3WITH the tires I wanted put on in the price,for virtually the same payment with only 1,000 down. Do you guys/girls think that would be a good move? I mean it seems like I'm comparing tires to a new vehicle... but I just want to get some opinions to see if you guys/girls would do the same thing I'm thinking of doing. I only have about 10,300 miles on my 06 right now. I have had several problems withmy current H3 IE: New CV drive shaft, 2 new transfer cases, front diff rebuilt and I'm still hearing a grinding noise that the dealer claims they can't hear.

 

Sounds like not too bad a deal on the surface. You are spending less up front ($1000 vs $1300), and if your payment are about the same, won't impact you monthly. Over time, you will still probably pay more, but you are getting a new truck, witjh new warranty, bigger motor with more power, and probably a few other bonuses. I say go for it!

 

Hell... Go for It Luke!!!
Make sure you read the fine print... Sometimes there's always a catch with those tricky Dealership Basterds.[sm=smiley15.gif]

 

Thanks guys... I'm still young so I figure if I screw up....I have plenty of time to make up for it lol... or make a bigger mistake so I can laugh at this one later lol... The only thing I'm thinking about now is the difference in suspension without the adventure package. I don't need the rear locker in all the mud I play in, but not sure what the different suspension really is.

 

If you plan on doing a fair amount of off roading... I suggest going with the Adv package Luke. Lower TC ratio, Rear lockers (A must In most off road situations), and I believe the Adv package have a higher ride height with larger sway bars... Me think!!!!

 

we did the same trade 06 adv.
for the 07 without adv
tous the 07 rides much better not as stiff
cant hurt to test driveone

 

Mine came with the 33's. It rides just fine to me.

 

I say go for it. I am thinking about trading minein to. I have an 06 and only have 7500 miles on it, and really would like a sunroof and a few other things, But now have to convince the hubby.

 

Yea they put the Toyo Open Country 315/75/16s MT on for me at the dealership. If the sales guy lied about the gear ratios then I'm going to call it no deal.

 

What does fully loaded mean?
Are you building out or is this one your considering on the lot?
