I'm not sure what is more surprising... Travelnutz apparently going nuts and losing his mind over a brand, or the fact that Fishie didn't comment until several pages deep and has only had a few tame comments at all.

The great thing about having my own brain and logic is that I can chose the vehicle that I want based upon the conditions that I view as relevant at the time. I don't need a magazine article of questionable integrity to justify the purchase that I made. I simply do my research, weigh the pro's and cons and make an educated decision based upon my needs.

When I bought my Ford F150, it was because that was the best vehicle at the best price that fit my needs at the time. I really liked that truck and miss it. I still think that the 94-96 F-series design was beautiful and I drool a little every time I see one out on the road still. Unfortunately the regular cab Ford wasn't appropriate for my new job, needed something with more interior space.

When I bought my Tundra, it was because it was the best vehicle at the best price that fit my needs at the time. I liked that truck too, it was great. Lots of power, great ride and comfortable for long trips. Unfortunately we bought a new trailer that was simply too heavy when we were loaded for our longer trips.

I bought my Ram 2500 because it was the best vehicle at the best price that fit my needs. The truck drives great, hauls our trailer like its nothing and gets great fuel economy with the Cummins. It is far from a perfect vehicle, but it met or exceed every need that I had.

And yet, despite my owning 3 different brands of truck in the last 15 years (4 if you count my SUV, but that's not relevant), some blowhards on this forum like to label me as "Ram Mafia" because of the truck that I currently own. Its hilarious.

Ok, back to bashing any brand that you don't own.... GO!

It's ignorant more than hilarious. I've bought one Ram in my life and may or may not ever buy another. I like it so far. My wife drives a Honda. We've also owned a VW, Toyota, Nissan and three Ford's in our "grown up" lives together. The next vehicle we buy will be whatever vehicle from whatever brand we feel best fits our needs at the time. Brand loyalty is senseless and stupid. But I've been called the "Ram mafia" too. :R
