I know exactly how ARP1500 feels, he`s a truck guy. I dont haul or tow, i dont even put anything in the box of my truck. I just like trucks, and obviously so dosent he. Just because some dont use a truck for its actual purpose, dosent meen we shouldnt have them. Some of us just buy them for looks and daily drive them. Myself, i dont see anything wrong with that... dunno maybe some of us are just a little goofy that way...lol.

 

If you don't haul or tow, you are not a truck guy But whatever floats your boat, if I didn't need a truck on a weekly basis I would definitely take the nearly 40K and buy a very nice car.

 

I just like the look of a truck, ho wits higher off the ground and the room inside

I sat in a challenger and its no different then my 08 Altima it actually felt smaller inside the front seat

my ideal would be a rcsb dropped with a nice road course type suspension maybe hothkis

something that looks cool, sort of like a newer srt10 ram or the rt ram...

 

40k, that's insane to spend on a truck im getting the truck for 21500 for reg cab or 23500 for 4 door

 

Heresy - car guys are now lining up outside your location to "educate" you

Comparing an Altima to a challenger is like comparing a moped to a super bike.

 

LOL 40K is almost cheap for a truck these days, that only gets you the basics. If you want a fancy one they are closer to 50K.

My advice to you is to make sure to take a nice long test drive and make sure you can live without all the stuff that the 21K truck is missing. You will find dozens of threads on this site of guys who bought the stripper trucks and are now trying to figure out how to add all the stuff that was missing.

 

if you don't tow or haul anything, get a Ram with the V6 and 3.55's you will be happy. hell even the 3.21's are good, I wish I would have waited for 3.55's but no major complaints. Except on hard accelerations I don't miss my V8. I have good power and see 25 highway and 20 combined. don't do alot of "city" driving more of a mix

 

I was comparing the size of the Altima to the challenger
I no its a totally different car im not that dumb...

my biggest reason to get a truck is the interior size and being higher off the ground the Altima and challenger are still tiny inside and low to the ground

 

the express package has everything I want for 22k I don't need 4x4 when im in charlotte nc, I don't need leather, or navigation, or powerseats, etc

hemi
color match exterior parts (just like the old sports did)
nice factory wheels

 

all I asked by starting this thread was the pros and cons of a new dodge ram with a hemi and fuel mileage, not y u getting a truck if you don't tow or haul anything that's like saying y buy a corvette or Lamborghini if u cant go that fast
