My wife's about the same size as when we met.

I'm up 70lb.

Macs, I watch all the TFLTruck videos, usually what I'm watching when I'm in the garage with a cigar after work.

While a new one would be a contender, I really REALLY like their interiors, especially on higher trim levels, the long term reliability of the vehicle is a concern. I'm looking to buy something I'll use for 10+ years.

My father in law bought a 2010ish Ram 3500 dually for a shop truck and while the drivetrain has been reliable to nearly 300k with one tranny replacement around 180k, he goes through a set of wheel bearings every 18 months or so. Has had issues with electronics like switches and such for a long time. Mirrors my experience with my Dakota too. Long-term wear items seem to go sooner than they should.

My cousin had a diesel Ram 2500 06ish and had loads of problems with wheel bearings, transfer case, electronics.

A coworker had a diesel Ram 3500 and complained about balljoints, wheel bearings, and the trans gave out around 100k.

Another friend uses gas Ram 2500's at work and loves them, but they cycle them out at 5 years.

All anecdotal I know. But all my friends with Ford 3/4 and 1 tons have had much better overall things to say about their trucks, though the accommodations are more spartan. One buddy pulled the powerstroke and dropped in an old Cummins and a 5 speed with 300k on the chassis and is now in the 700k mile range and still loves the truck. Another friend with a powerstroke has only done regular wear items over 10 years and nearly a half million miles on the clock when he sold it and bought a Duramax. I know a handful of people with Duramax trucks and they mirror the Ford dudes, but only one of them tows heavy. Really only hear major complaints myself from Ram owners - but not about the powertrain.

I do REALLY like the giant megacab Rams. So much interior space. But the crew cab across all three is plenty roomy.

I've not excluded Ram from my search, as I'd hope they've sorted out the bearing issues. But electrical problems have plagued Mopar trucks since the 90's and I don't know that they're sorted yet for long term ownership. Maybe I need to reconsider long term ownership..


Stay away from the 86 Ford Bronco II. At 74,000 miles, the third transmission went into it.

What's the protocol here, do I offer him pot-to-go or do I offer him a hit? Combination of the two maybe? Wanna make sure I follow proper etiquette and such...

Okay... just searched a RAM 2500. The Diesel is a $9,100 option. Still... $61k for a 2500 Laramie is pretty damn good.

I'd imagine a 2 year old truck could be had for $40-45k.

Edit: Okay... 47k, but the price is negotiable! https://www.cars.com/vehicledetail/detail/794420031/overview/

That's a nice freakin' truck.



There's something wrong with my browser...or the interwebs.

No, no, no... but 61k for that particular cummins diesel pickup truck with a luxurious interior and all the trimmings is pretty damn good.

And yes... that's sad, I guess. When I was a kid houses could be had for 61k.

he prolly wouldn't take anything, other than a bottle of water...that's all the Spectrum cable guy would accept after working 4-5 hours installing wire on a hot summer day...I felt sorry for the guy and offered him a cold one...he looked hard at it but eventually said company policy prohibits him from accepting anything from customers...hope he didn't think I'd snitch him out...

My 1st brand new house was $16.5K 3 bedroom, family room, etc. Payments were $168 a month. Was not sure how I was going to make 'em. And I'm about as old as I sound.

Wicked smaht.

I've been making ice cream with heavy cream (1 cup), 1 egg, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and 3 tbs of swerve confectioners sugar substitute. Almost no carbs/sugar and damn delicious.
