you can get them from dodge. it's a special order, and rare.

 

what does having more cab room have to do with not using it as a truck?? Same bed size, just more room for work or play.. One thing i love is im 6' 7" and i dont have to ride in the dash when i have people behind me like i did in my quad cab, i just leave seat were it is..

 

Well I, along with the majority of the country, tend to stereotype. And when I see the typical MC that's perfectly clean, the bed doesn't have a dent in it, and the receiver hitch doesn't have a scratch on it, I see it as kind of a waste. I know to each his own, but there are so many trucks out there that have never been used AT ALL. When I was in college a few years ago, there were countless 3/4 diesel trucks that had hitch ***** that were perfectly shiny, never been hooked to anything. These were kids that were 18 years old and they had a $40k truck for God's sake!! I have no problem at all with contractors and workers or whoever buying something with a little more room and they USE it. I myself have a QC cus I have two kids in car seats, but I pull a welding trailer 3 days a week. The outside of my truck is farily clean, but the bed is scratched and dented because I use it. It's just frustrating to see that trucks are the most expensive vehicles on the lot because everyone and their brother wants one. WANTS one, not NEEDS one, and then people that need one have to pay top dollar to get one. I'm sure this will stir some people up, but this is just another opinion.

 

Why do you care so much if some people who own a pickup arent towing and/or hauling all the time (im not asking in a sarcastic or mean tone, just friendly question)? I deffinately dont "need" my truck, but, its great when i'm going camping, fishing, surfing, or anything where I can just put stuff in the bed. I dont use it a lot, but occasionally. I could do the same thing with a car, but I love trucks.

If everyone drove what they actually "need" instead of what they just "want", most people probably wouldnt be driving what they have.

I dont know, just seems silly to be unhappy with people because they arent using their trucks the way you think they should be (not singling you out, i've noticed a lot of people feel this way). And whos to say they arent just because they have a very clean truck?

 

I guess my main problem is people "buying" out of their spectrum. I quote buying because a HUGE percentage of the people either lease or make payments. This allows the stealerships to move more vehicles at higher prices. More and more people are getting trucks these days, and they are more expensive than ever. Like I said before, to each his own, and I'm definitely not going to tell people how to spend THEIR money. If someone pays cash for something then that's fine, can get whatever they like and do whatever the want to with it. It's just all the people in the country have no patience and they make payments on everything they have. I feel that if people would save cash and pay for a vehicle outright, there would be less vehicles sold, the banks would make less money, and the prices would go down. That and if they saved their money, I believe they would spend it on stuff they needed more than what they want and like. This is a whole different subject in itself though.

As far as the cleanliness, it's not excatly that. Like I said, my truck is fairly clean and shiny, although you can look at my hitch and tell it's been used. I have a scatched and dented bed, but the outside is nice. I the same feeling about people that have hot rods/sports cars and never get the motor past 3500 rpm's, and rock crawlers and they're worried about cutting their tires. What's the point in having something and not using it for what it's worth??
This is just my opinion and I take no offense to criticism, nor do I want anyone else to take offense to an honest OPINION.

 

itsa funny you say that because i use my truck and you would never even know because after im done i clean the crap out of it . just because its clean doesent mean its not used like it should be . some people just like to take care of things better than most . for instince i have a spray in bed liner to protect the bed from the so called use of it . i have a hitch that i use to pull my trailer when im done i greese the ball ect ..things like this make her clean . just because i dont have a dent in my truck doesent mean its not used. i just like taking care of expensive things

 

Oh the hypocrisy. Seems to me that you're breaking your own rules. Yo could be pulling that welding trailer with a station wagon and still have room for your kids.

 

Ok, Ok, everybody on here uses their trucks. Don't over-react. As far as the hypocrisy, I use the bed of my truck to haul scrap sticks of metal stock (5-8 ft pcs), tools such as vises, chop saw, grinder etc. I couldn't haul that and pull a 6,000 lb covered trailer with a station wagon. I don't know how I would break my own rules if my bed is full of junk for the scrapyard, my kids are in their seats, and my trailer is behind me. Like I said before, I have no problem with people that make NO payments on what they have and they use it for what it's worth.
I guess I'm just jealous of people that have $50k to spend on toys, cus I know if I had it, I would damn sure blow it.

 

Get a roofrack!
