Bought a new tow vehicle

We only have a 20 foot camper but already with all of our new additions generator, bikes, Heavy chairs, Firewood, And wife wanting to take the neighborhood kids it got toThe point of maxing my half ton ram very quick. I always wanted a three-quarter ton but never had a reason to get one. I love the look of the heavy duty. On our way back from the beach we got in some High wind and it was pushing us all over the place. My wife said if you want to get a bigger truck go ahead. I did it before she changed her mind. I did not get diesel as I don't think I need it. I could not Justify the cost. I know they pull better but oh well. Here's a photo of my new truck. Oh and I am paying a $1.71less per month and I was.

  • Looks exactly like the hemi 2500 i bought on Friday!!!

    Congrats and enjoy your truck like mine....
  • Nice truck! I'm usually one who likes the loaded up rigs, but I really like the look of that truck with the steel wheels etc. Looks very purposeful. Enjoy!
  • Congrats! Really nice truck that is going to lock down your TT & make your tow nearly as fun as your camping.

    After a few weeks or so you should create a thread with your impressions of 1/2 ton vs HD pickup ownership, i.e. ride quality, comfort as a DD, how it tows vs the 1500, etc.

    Report back after you've put a couple of miles on it!
