Why yes, I would pay to drive a Chevy. Had I got the Chevy that I was looking at before my Dodge, I'd have a lower mileage truck, with better mpgs and damn near the same power. Plus I wouldn't have had to sink all the money into that one that I had to in my truck. My truck has already had well over $2K put into it since I've had it.

1st: that's not epic, that's a coincidence
2nd: The word "Epic" was big like 2 years ago. Like saying "I'm going to hit you with an epidemic" It's old
3rd: It got old due to high school kids using to describe things that weren't epic.
4th: gm actually building a high quality vehicle would be a way to describe an "Epic" event.

I was going to buy the Chevy, but that one was $1500 more than my Dodge was. My mom didn't want me to spend that much on a vehicle at that time. And the Chevy was a one owner, and the guy selling it had done regular maintenance done on it every 3k miles. It was brought to his shop.So on this one, low miles did mean a lot for it. Mostly highway, blankets still laying on the backseats preserving that new car smell. And between buying the Dodge and the Chevy, there was a little over a month in between looking at both of the vehicles. When I bought the Dodge, I didn't know that it would need the money put into it. The $1600 came because it was a tuneup, and suggested by our mechanic.
And Got Hemi, the world is now filled with epic, because GM has built the GMC, Caddilac, Chevy, just to name a few vehicles of high quality. Epic would be like Dodge finally getting their silver paint right. Apparently they still have problems.
And had I been able to see the future and tell the money that I had invested in the Dodge, I would've gone with the Chevy over this one. If I had their old 5.7L, I could do a few mods to it to make it blow my truck out of the water.

On the subject of chevies, we knew a guy who bought a brand new chevy and on the way back from the dealer, it broke down. lmao. i heard about a similar story for a Ford too. as you can see, im in a dodge. On the other hand, my friend has a 15 year old ram with over 200k that has been in his family the whole time and it never broke down once.

man, im gone for a couple days and people start bashing my grill lol. jeez, doesnt anyone here have any manners? im glad though that there are at least some people here with enough courtesy to stand up for my rights

So far, the only truck to completely die on our farm has been a Dodge. The other truck with problems was the ring and pinion fried on my uncle's Chevy, but he pulled the sh*t out of that thing. Until he got his 3500, he actually put a fifth wheel on that thing, and pulled his cattle trailer with that. That truck was a 1500.
My stepdad has a 2500 with almost 200K miles on it, and that thing has given him one problem, no one knows what happened. My brother has a Chevy with a lot over 200K miles on it, and that thing has given him few problems. My grandpa has an '05 Dodge with about 30K miles on it. He swore that thing was a lemon. It gave him so many problems. His battery was always draining on it for no reason. A family member has an '04-'05 Dodge, and he won't drive that thing anymore hardly. For the drive he does, he has horrible fuel mileage. Long straight away at a higher speed, and around 9 mpg. Someone my uncle knows had a brand new Dodge. I believe it was an '03-'04. 2500 with a Hemi. He traded that thing for the same Chevy with a 6.0, and has never regretted it. The power is just as good, and much much better mpgs. My uncle has a 2500 4-door 6.0 Chevy, and that thing has great power. Not a single problem, and he gets better fuel mileage than I do. And he uses that thing primarily for pulling trailers. So yea, we've had more than enough actual comparison between vehicles. We aren't some people who just make jackassed comparisons of vehicles when they've only used one type. The Chevy's have always been better. All of our Chevys have all of their paint, the Dodge is the only one that it's peeled off on. The Chevy has taken a bull to the fender multiple times, and it's left a dent, not that big. The Dodge took one, and that thing looks like another wheel well. That truck is a '92 I believe.
