RE: WHY DID YOU BUY A TRUCK? (survey) - 10/19/2006 8:36:30 PM    Nelliebly   Posts: 27 Joined: 2/24/2006 Status: offline We had bought DH's Dakota just 8 months after I got my Suburban back in 2001. Told hubby that if Dodge ever came out with something large enough for a family of 5 and could tow our 28ft camper-the Suburban would be history. It took 5 years, but I took the plunge in March when my Mega Cab came. I get the best of both worlds, enough room for three kids-2 full grown teens and a 8 year old. Plus no more dirty carpet, or bikes in the camper when we vacation-they all fit nice in the back of the truck.

Camping and fishing and mountain driving and 4X4 trails are my passion so buying my truck truly is a dream come true for me and I'd NEVER go back to a car no matter what the gas price's go to.

I have always owned trucks anyway but never anything quite like this one. My last truck was a 440 powered `78 W200 so i`m accustomed to thrifty fuel mileage!

I wanted comfort and the ability to haul the 16 foot trailor with the lawn mower and ranger on it, then behind that we pull the jetski's. I am a big person (6'6" 280) and have lots of stuff and a family. I have not pulled the toys with the cummins yet, toatled king ranch ford powerstroke, but when summer comes again I guess it will be a Dodge Caravan, lol. It is a long SOB to drive, and really hard to get into a convience store when you really gots to pee. :-) _____________________________ 2006 2500 Ram Mega Cab Laramie 4x4, 5.9 Cummins, rhino lining, nerf bars, headache rack I made my 1000th 7/6/2007 9:51:04 PM (in reply to 1 cowboy) Post #: 39

A girl drivin a cummins :P haha. I drive a truck cause i do lots of off-roading, farm so need a truck to go in the fields, down dirt roads, plus i am a huge sledder in winter, alot easier throwing a sled on the back of the truck then hauling a trailer around with a car, and last of all, i love big trucks, being bigger then everyone else on the road. Nothing is better then pulling up behind a little honda at a light and not being able to see the rear end of the car, must be scarry lookin in the mirror to see a big huge grill on their ass haha _____________________________ 2005 Dodge Ram SLT 5.7L Hemi - Eagle Alloys, 33 x 12.5 Firestone Destination M/T, Flowmaster delta 40 muffler, pacesetter long tube headers, pacesetter off-road Y-pipe, electric cutout, taylor shorty thundervolt plug wires, Mopar CAI, (in reply to Amy) Post #: 41

Those are my main reasons, and in that order as far as importance goes. A car just doesn't cut it for any of these options, and SUV's are limited in what they can haul (you wouldn't really want to ever put a ton of top soil in the back of an SUV for example). _____________________________ 1999 Ram 1500, 5.2, 4x4 Mopar Air Intake Fastman 50mm Modded kegger HS 1.7's Edelbrock headers Magnaflow cat Flowmaster Super 40 B&G PCM 4.56' s, Auburn LSD 3" Skyjacker 3" PA body 35" Toyo M/T www.cardomain.com/ride/799288 (in reply to CanadianRAM) Post #: 43

Well I got a Ram cause it was a good trade, I had to unload a '97 A4 nicely modded, because I was tired of drivign a princess, and my buddy traded me his '00 Ram with 88 000 km (my A4 had 152 000 km). I just figured, even with the gas consumption it'd be a nice trade, plus I'd like to stick to pick ups for our winters, or at the lowest, a Subaru (which I've had in the past). _____________________________ '00 Ram Sport 360 (in reply to 1 cowboy) Post #: 44
