Default I didn't see this comming...

Since 1994 when Dodge came out with the new ram and a V-10 I knew that was the truck I really wanted. So in 2003 I traded my F-250 for a 99 Ram QC 4x4 V10, very low milage... pretty much got the truck I always wanted. Since this time I'm babied it and treated this like it was my last truck. I spared no expense: if the truck needed something it got the best. Since this time my family has grown and it has become more and more obvious that the truck is too small. The final straw was when we tried to put the second forward facing car seat in and it didn't fit. I tried a variety of different car seats but the end result is the same.

I will soon take possession of an 2008 3500 Mega cab Laramie 6.7 diesel and 6 speed auto. I am excited about a new truck but also a little sad that I'll be trading off my 99 for it. I think that when I'm old this will be the truck I talk about regretting that I sold. On a side note I will be keeping my mustang even though both car seats don't fit in that. Life is unfair: I want all the toys!!

That stinks, man, but you are getting a sweet ride and have a family, so consider yourself lucky.

That does suck, but there is a limit to how many vehicles you can have. I wont ever get rid of my Ram or my grandfathers old 69 Cadillac Fleetwood, so I am sorta maxed out too - and with 2 gas guzzlers at that.
