I bought my Hemi Ram because I wanted a tough truck, a nice SUV and a fast car all in one. Now that I have all three, My wife is happy, my kids are comfortable and my need for speed is satisfied. Although the speed part can be expensive when it comes to all those speeding tickets. Anytime I want to kick it into  four wheel drive and cruise a logging road, I can. Anytime I want to race a little four banger, I can. I don't think I'd rather have any other truck than mine. Thanks Dodge for making such awesome rigs.

I bought my truck after four years of driving a grand prix gtp.  I've had a truck before and just missed the view.  I feel so much more comfortable riding in a truck.  I do miss the speed of my Grand Prix but it's great having four wheel drive.  I don't have to call me brother in law to haul stuff either.  I will never again own anything but a truck

I bought mine so I can haul the motorcycles to the dunes. If you're not pulling a trailer you can go the normal speed limit.....not the rediculous 65 (or what ever it is) if you pull a trailer on the freeway! Also, I need some way to get the jet skis to the lake!!!

I had originally owned a 89 Bronco fullsize with 32's on it and then got an F-150 stepside that I lifted with 35's but have always loved the way the dodges looked so when I just recently sold my camaro I finally got to get the truck Ive always wanted and thus far I love it!!! I just worry about all the threads you see about trannies going out........ But like they say its all about the maintenance, right?

I thought I would get this thread going again. I bought my truck because I am a truck guy. I like sportscars, but I prefer to be bigger than most of the vehicles on the road. I am not trying to compensate for anything, but why drive a car when you can drive a truck?

I bought a truck because I needed the towing capabilites, the 4x4, and enough room to haul stuff around without needing a trailer.

I do alot of hunting and fishing and it just wouldnt be practicle to load my coffin blind, dog, gun, shells, dead birds, and 3 dozen Full Bodies into a car. I can carry all this stuff in my trcuka nd with the quad cab and my home made trailer there is enough room for 5 guys, all our gear and we usually stuff our decoys into the trailer.

I've almost always owned a truck.  My first truck was an '89 F-150 and literally drove it until the wheels fell off.  My next truck was a '98 Silverado 3-Door.  Drove that one until the wheels almost fell off.  Now I'm in an '07 QC with the Hemi.

Love the commanding view of the road.  Love being able to haul stuff (fishing/camping gear, top soil, lumber, 3 dead bodies wrapped in a carpet, etc).  And I love the fact my wife refuses to drive a truck.  She's got her minivan (Chrysler, of course), and that perfectly fine with me.

I live in North Idaho, so having a truck helps get around in the winter, and a truck is a necessity for hunting and fishing in the mountains. It also makes me feel good to be bigger than all the cars on the road.

I have had a car, and a van even but when I am not in a truck it just doesn't feel quite right.  All of my trucks have been Dakotas and the only other truck I will drive is a Ram.  I personally don't use mine to haul very much or anything like that but it is nice to have one when you need to do that type of thing.
