Enterprise Rental Car

[Just Saying]

THey are owned by Enterprise.

Chrysler is? Didn't know that.
... still wouldn't have left the lot in a Chrysler product. Last 2 I had went more miles behind a tow truck than they went on their own.

National Car Rental. Chrysler is owned by Obama and I agree-I would rather drive a 30 year old Ford pickup than a new Dodge.

There's another name for Dodge owners: Pedestrians. My 2001 F-250, with the Navistar 7.3 liter diesel engine has 370,000 miles on it and runs like new. Also doesn't use a drop of oil between changes. I love it and will drive it until it will no longer move. I've used it like a rented mule since the day I bought it... I think it was made by Timex.

How much does it cost to change the oil in that truck? Also  how much for fuel filters and how often must they be changed? I am thinking of buying a used 1999 with 163,000 miles and the 7.3 diesel engine.

I heard the truck can tow 13,500 pounds like nothing was back there, and I also read online that they often get at least 500,000 miles before rebuilding the engine.

I change my own oil and filter at 6,500 miles for about $45 (15qts). Oil filters are pretty cheap, but fuel filters are pricey... about $25, but I seldom have to change them. Never had the engine apart, and replaced the clutch and pressure plate (manual trans) at 346,000. Still had wear left on it, but I broke the hub on it when something refused to move. I had a 30ft gooseneck flatbed with 208 bales of hay on it 2 days ago and it walked off with it without a grunt. Avoid the 6.0 liter diesel engine... they have alot of trouble with those. The 7.3 is a workhorse. Mine gets about 17.5 mpg/avg. Way better than my gas one used to get.

Thanks! That is why I have been looking into a used 1999-2002 7.3 liter engine with less than 250,000 miles. I might go into the hay business out here. I can buy hay about 500 miles away for $140-150 ton and sell it here for $350 minimum. Would like that particular truck because I can get 6 tons on it legally and should clear at least $650 a load. Pamela says she can unload at least 18 tons per month, so that would basically get her free hay and make us both a little side income....as long as the truck holds up. It would also allow her to help some poor horse owners who are about to send their horses to the killers or even worse, turn them loose in the desert because they can't afford to pay what looks like $500 per ton this winter.

We wanted a rental for a day trip while we were in New Orleans. The hotel owner said that National treated his customers really well. He called them for me and they ask what kind of car I wanted. I said anything but a Chrysler product.(we've had horrible luck with them)

They send a van down to pick us up and take us back to the rental place. They have ready for me a brand new Chrysler 300 with 11 miles on it. I told them I wanted a non-Chrysler, or take me back to the hotel, I wasn't going walk after that sombitch broke down. So they went to the lot and got me a new, very nice Toyota that we enjoyed driving. When we took it back they gave us a ride back to the hotel. Nice folks all-around. I'd use them again.

LOL I bought a new 2006 - 300 and she was a beauty but the trans was junk from day 1 and this is years

after I swore off chrysler and their poor quality, I love the new challengers but  I don't think I kept

that 300 for 18 months traded it in for a F150.
