lol there is a driveway but we keep the camper at my brothers house. his driveway is bigger.

this was our 25 footer before we got the 32 footer, and the tundra.

and this is the tundra when i just got it at the camp site with the 25 footer.

I hope that mustang wasn't a real SVO at one point, if it was I hate whoever you bought that car from.
Original owner was a good friend of mine who died a little over a week after Katrina, no one knows how he died because the area was abandoned and he was just found at home by some cops from New Jersey, of all places.

His mom took it hard and went into denial, his funeral was almost a year after his death. She just let the car sit in front of their house. Then one day they were raising the house and it fell (its a couple of stories down) on some laborers and the firemen moved the car into our cul-de-sac. It sat in front of my neighbor's house until code enforcement wrote a ticket. I asked my friends mom for it and she sold it to me for $500 I finally got the title, and am beginning work. It really is not that bad for a flood damaged car.


It was never an SVO, it used to be a calypso 93 LX 5.0. Still the motor is fine, just needs minor stuff, and a new wiring harness, and interior.

Sorry to treadjack

lol yeah i know what you mean. That's my problem though, I can be going along all peacefully. And then suddenly some knuckle head in a nice looking truck starts revving up at me, my god, my blood just starts pumping and I go into a dead lock. Ill just floor it.
pritty sure your just driving past a reflection of yourself in a window.

Ah man, I don't care what they can do, I hate foreign trucks, just hate them.
Very little about the new Tundra is foreign except for the Toyota name on it. Almost every component for it is made in the USA.

Your Ram is probably foreign as most of them are made in Mexico.

I doubt they do very well considering the 4wd's are only about a foot off the ground in the front. That picture goldpro posted makes it look like his ram has a big lift on it. I do think it's a badass truck though if i had the money i'd buy one.

Well obviously you'd have to lift it because I don't think you could fit anything bigger than the little stock tires in the wheel wells the way it is. Does it have solid axels?

As far as how the Tundra does off-roading...

That is also why I'll never buy a newer Tundra. I love how they conveniently forget to compare a Dodge in the videos they do...

EDIT: Both the Titans and Tundras are built more in the USA than the Ram 1500s. If you look at any breakdown of our VINs (maybe even build sheets), you will see that all Ram 1500s, starting I think with 2nd gens, are made in Mexico. They used to make the 360s in the USA I think, so that helped, but when they started making the new Hemis, I believe they built a brand new plant in Mexico for them.

It's true, the ride height is almost the same as the 2wd versions, NOT a good truck to take into the back country. Silverado has a very low frontend too, anybody else noticed that?One timeI was getting my oil changed at aGM/Dodge dealership and they had a newSilverado in the showroom. While i was checking it out a littleold lady came up next to me, looked at the front of theChevy andsaid "Now i dont know much about thesebig pickup trucks, but why in the world wouldsomeone think its a good ideamake a vehicle like this sit so low.""My husband would never buy something like this." I just shrugged and turned to her and said, yeah that is a very good question.

Jason-nice vid, that tundra almost rattled apart...wonder why they didnt show the Titan or Ram
