This is America, you don't buy it cuz you need it, you buy it cuz you want it and its better than what your neighboor has, damnit!

 

Another thing, is the guy said Diesels are no good. Well No S**T. ITS A FORD. Gotta go Dodge and Cummins. The dealers out here are like 60 diesel/40 gassers just cause all the farmers. They ask why you need Gas out here

 

When I went looking (with no intent to buy) at new trucks, the sales people don't try to talk me out of a diesel, they just try to make a sale by saying, "Well, a Cummins is out of your price range, but we can put you in a nice half-ton." Sorry guys, just looking for my future new-to-me used truck.

 

dodgerules is apsolutly correct, i have not been in a situation yet that i couldent of handled with a half ton gas truck like i just came from, but somthing about the shake/smell and power of a diesel is why im MY mind i need one! im here in the city so diesels make up only about 5-10% of pickups from what i see. i bought mine a year old and for me to find a used diesel truck that had a long box i traveled an hour and 10 minutes to get to a dealer that had one. needless to say i dont need this truck but it is america like dodgerules said and YES my truck is better than my neibors!

 

There are two dealers near me. One is a dodge only and the other is a full chrysler/jeep/dodge. the dodge only dealership knows wtf they are doing. They have one small section in there lot for cars i'd say mebbe 45 cars. and they have i'd say over 200 trucks. 150 of them being diesel and 100 of those diesel being decked out six speed manuals. They told me "we stopped carrying as many hemi's because we were getting too many trade ins of them for a cummins" he then went on to say this which I love "Dodge pickup trucks have become the status symbol in america for what a real man drives"

 

i wanta see that dealer!

 

"Dodge pickup trucks have become the status symbol in america for what a real man drives".....thats a great line!

 

It's Lancaster Dodge, located in lancaster pennsylvania. When i was there last week they had the entire lot full of trucks and they have a giant lot about the size of ooo two football fields filled with HD rams.

 

the 7th i head back down to NC and wil b one 81and 84 in Penn....might have to go check it out!!!!

 

yea dude definately go. They have this reallllyyyyyy nice CTD that i'm hopin to buy. It's a 2500 qcsb 4x4 thunderroad 6.7L and six speed manual in that nice patriot blue color. man it's sexy. O yea and the same salesman i was talking to was also saying about how crappy the fords are. He was like "yea this guy came in an traded a 07 6.0L for a CTD ,ford had 5k miles on it. he's lucky it was till running after that amount of time." This guy was like the coolest salesman in teh world.
