Thinking of getting new 08 Aspen

RE: Thinking of getting new 08 Aspen
I do get employee pricing, which is why I'm trying to convince the wife to go with the Aspen. I also get pricing on any GM product, any Chrysler and any Nissan. She's also interested in the Nissan Murano and Ford Edge but I don't get a Ford discount.

RE: Thinking of getting new 08 Aspen
We test drove a Limited w/28J pkg. It's different. Never owned a 4x4, but we want to pull a larger trailer. Currently we have a 2005 T&C fully loaded with the tow prep. Took the family to Mt Rushmore. We love the T&C but wanted to pull a larger trailer. My question to the forum would be : Does the signature series drive differently with the 18" rims as compared to the 28J pkg with the 20" Also, does the 5.7L handle 87 octane or will it knock like the dickens?

Our 5.7 with the 20" rims runs fine on 87 octane. We made a Thanksgiving trip from Scottsdale to Rapid City, Mt. Rushmore, etc., with no issues at all. I have not ever heard the engine ping with the 87 octane. Great road trip.

Looks like the plans for an Aspen for the wife (or any other new vehicle for that matter) have been put on hold indefinitely. Just got some numbers on how much we need to save for a down payment on a new house and the wife isn't interested in a new ride now. It's funny, my Power Wagon and Avenger payments ARE a mortgage payment.
