I don't know what to get. I want a definately. I think the 1500 would be more practical as I don't pull a lot of loads and with diesel prices being what they are why put the investment. I think I like the look of the 1500 Sport. If they end up offering Detonator Yellow I would get it otherwise I am going to get Sunburst Orange Pearl. God I wish she would just say yes. I still have about 2-3 years to wait. :i_rolleyes:
This is my second 2500 4x4 HD I traded my last for my nitro, and missed it. Now this is the 2500 4X4 HD quad cab short bed. :4-dontknow: why I had to have it, but it looks good in the driveway lol.
Yeah, what he said!! Right now I have 2 1500s. An 04-5.7 quad cab and a 2000- 5.2 in need of an engine. Never had any issue pulling trailers with the 04 but stopping the heavy loads could get interesting. That's why I want a Power Wagon! They go and stop with a load on em.
1500 SLT QC 2 wheel drive 5.9L short bed. Just enough to have fun and turn heads as I go by.
Does anyone notice then when you are not in your truck (or any other larger vehicle on the road) you dont really get too much respect (like people cutting you off)?
I switch between the Ram and another car as daily driving and I notice that when in the car people cutoff more then when in the truck
Also how can people claim they can't see the truck when I drive it? How can you miss a large black object passing you by? Its over 6ft tall and nearly 20ft long its not to hard to miss
Hahahahaha!!!!! I know what your saying i switch between my dodge 1500 and a 97 sufire (dont judge me lol) and people think they need to run my butt over 57% of the time. And the bad thing is when they do it to me in the car i can't do anything about it. Most of my driving is cruising in this town of like 14k people so not to much action besides my peers at school so when they cut me off in the truck they better watch out! Gotta thank dodge for having AMAZING breaks :box:
I have an '06 2500 with the Cummins. I tow a 30' travel trailer and want to upgrade to a 5th wheel in the future. I used to tow my trailer with an '03 Ford Supercrew with the 5.4. What a difference to upgrade to the 2500!! I had thought I would never like the diesel, but I really love it! And the Dodge has more aggresive styling, I like the looks a lot better as well!
I see an overwhelming number of 1500 owners against a handful of 2500 (me being one of them)... 1500 is not imported where I live, so I wonder what the pros of the li'l sister are? Only a lesser price? Or are there some other low points? :4-dontknow:
hey everyone!!! i own a 2000 DODGE RAM quad cab slt laramie 1500 4X4 with r/t heads shift kit from b&m 4.11 gears front and rear with posi but tons of other stuff done too but sometimes wish i had a diesel cuz i love the sound of a cummins turbo diesel lol but id think about doing a swap and keeping the 360 on a stand lol!!!!!!
I currently don't own a Ram, but if I were to wish for one it would probably be the 2009 RAM 1500 SLT REGULAR CAB 4X2 SWB. I'll probably end up with a nice used one, though. I don't mud, just cruise. The only reason I need one is for hauling out my yard debris.
08 Ram 1500, 4X4..... Need the Hemi Power to pull a 19' bay boat. I have had 4 Cummins and they are awesome. Just do not need the power now and teh maintenance costs. Now that fuel is higher then gas I can tow my boat at 10 mpg at $1.45 and come out better than 14 mpg at $2.45. The Hemi pull great and the 5spd tranny shifts allot better then the 48RE did. I can go fishing 2 times to the coast on what the taxes/tags cost me a year with the 2500 :smileup:.... Oil changes are 1/3 the price...... And I dont have the urge to make the turbo louder and the smoke blacker :4-dontknow:.......
