wow remind me not to buy a 2006 or above ram until DC decides to make the truck mean again. I was actually gonna buy a ford super duty but the reason i fell in love with the ram is because when i test drove it, exhaust had good note, engine roared, the petals were toe-touch-happy, barely touch the pedal and it will take off (LOVED THAT FEEL), and the ride wasn't so cushiony. That let the owner know he had one truck that had speed, power, and overall one big mean nice (but mean) looking truck. I didnt want to buy a f150 because of the fact that it is too luxurious. I'm a man, I'm not a woman, grandma, or some fat lazy slob. I don't go for luxury and a cushiony ride with smooth acceleration or else I would have bought me a car. Ford was the one that started this and made the engine quiet, and interior decorated with that ugly wood look, and now it seems like everyone else is copying them, even the new 2006 ram had that wooden look around the electronic controls. That's sickening. Until dodge decides to make their trucks stand-outish and mean again, i wont buy another.

I even remember my grandpa and my uncle, who are into luxurious vehicles, even commented that they wanted a ram after they test drove it. They said "man you barely touch the pedal and this thing will get going. This beast has a lot of power. Even the v6s have good takeoff"

I ain't complaining about my 03 in the least. I get 20 on the highway, 16 in town. Run 15.5 in the quarter, and make 283 RWHP with 322 RWTQ. Plus I have 15 trophies in the cabinet from car shows over half are 1st place!

Yea, I do right now. I have to get my traction bars installed and some new tires. Mine are pretty worn out.

I have no complaints about my Ram. Wish it would fit in my garage a little nicer and probably would be better if it were a few inches closer to the ground, kind of sucks cleaning the center of the windshield. Hemi not peppy enough? I can get to 80 MPH at the onramp by my house before I actually hit the freeway........I think thats plenty fast enough.
