I dont want to drive my 535xi in the winter, we get about 8 inches of snow around here, and I want to buy a new truck.
Anyone opinions on which one is better, a F-150 Harley Davidson 08 or Cadillac Escalade ext 08?
I'll give the bimmer a rest for the winter already got like 6000km in 3 months.. haha

Oh boy! The 535xi is a beast in the snow with appropriate tires. And now you want your parents to buy you a new TRUCK??? Holy, crap, buddy....talk about spoiled. Appreciate your $90K BMW before expecting another ride.

Now, if your parents want to buy you the truck, I guess that's their right. WTF?

Escalade is much nicer, but do you want to invest that much in a winter beater?

EscaLADY for sure. The Harley is not even close to being on par with the Caddy.
