What WERE we driving?

2018 Tacoma... the cab was just too small for a big guy, but mostly it was the gutless motor paired with a terrible tranny/tune that shifted all the damn time. Pretty and capable on trails, but downright agonizing to drive.

The Ram is a big upgrade in space and power.

2014 Grand Cherokee Overland 4WD with the Hemi for me - REALLY liked it. Was a tough decision to let go of her. But borrowing a trailer all the time from my parents got old. At least we found a truck with all the same interior amenities, plus a couple more!

Traded in my wife's 2008 Mazda 6 (I was driving her car because we traded in my car for her SUV).
Picture is when it was brand new in 2008.....it had well over 100k miles and lots of hail damage when traded in. Do not think that I will ever go back to a car again. The truck makes our SUV seem small and I love it!

2015 Ford F150 XLT Supercab w/ 2.7L Ecoboost. I love that truck and thought I would keep it a lot longer. Honestly probably a little faster than my Hemi and got a lot better mileage. But missing that sweet soundtrack that only a large V8 has and the Hemi produces probably the best sounding out of all the truck V8s.

Factor in all the amazing goodies and good looks of the new RAMS and the amazing deal I got, and it left me no choice to make the switch. I find any reason I can to go out and drive my new truck!

I had to drive one for service last night and I too was VERY impressed for as large as the truck was and how much power it put out.

Seriously impressive performance out of that motor. I also loved the sport mode you could put an F150 into, which just didn't hold gears longer, but had a completely different throttle tuning that made the whole truck more alive. Wish RAM would put a sport button type tune on the RAMs as well.
 
Came from a 2007 RAM lifted up 6inches on 37s. Miss that truck a lot but the new RAM is great for sure. New RAM is leveled and now I just need to get the 34.5” tires to finish 21A86388-8879-48CA-BB00-E1DFE73C37C4.jpeg438F5C58-BF04-469E-A340-861C134E18C5.jpeg

Like my Durango .. I'd STILL love to have that option with the SPORT package on these .. SOOOooooo much more fun :)
 
Was driving a 2013 Dodge Durango SXT V6. She did an adequate job pulling my boat, but now my 2019 Ram Bighorn 5.7 Hemi has outstanding towing power.Durango.jpg
 
04.5 cummins....I will be getting another 2nd or 3rd gen sometime. I miss this truck everyday but for a daily the 19 is perfect 20180914_134104.jpg
 
2002 Dodge Durango. This car gave me all it had and more. First car and then moved onto my Bighorn. Even complete with the Midwest rust.
