Mine was a dump truck today bringing tree limbs to the Dump. Yea usually a grocery getter. One side of my Ram box holds those grocery bags to bring into the store. If Im lucky it sometimes is a Pimp Mobile.

Is the term "grocery getter" offensive to you

You're the one posting in a thread you want to pretend you care less about than me.
And nobody said "worry". The word I used was "curious".
He's not worried about it, he's just trying to stir the pot because him and another member got into an argument over him calling the other guys truck a grocery getter in another thread

I want to add a new category - Harry Home Owner (HHO):
My HHO meets all of my current needs so far in the 3 years I have owned it.

- Grocery Getter when needed
- Towing when needed
- Commuter vehicle when needed
- Hauling things that are big/bulky/heavy that do not fit in a car
- Family Hauler
- Going off the pavement for various reasons
- Hauling materials for the Honey Do List
- Better visibility in traffic
- Battles in the war of the lug nuts wars
- I like driving my truck as it quickly adapts to new missions on the fly, as assigned.
- Good in bad weather if the proper preparations are made in advance
- Has the potential to go fast(er) when desired

I have been called far, far worse! Just not in relation to the truck I am driving. Seriously though, who cares. There is always someone, somewhere looking to dump on somebody. Just how it is. I just use my truck for whatever I need, grocery shopping or hauling brush - whatever. My hemi rumbles and I am moving down the road without a care.

I want to add a new category - Harry Home Owner (HHO):
I used to own a true heavy-duty pickup truck(diesel, 4-door crew cab, 8 ft bed), but once those functions/needs changed, I now have a Harry Home Owner (HHO).

Sounds a lot like how I use mine. But I'm not called Harry.

I use my truck for getting groceries, I also use it to get my groceries getter from the airport, she has not complained once yet.
ThisFind it interesting how others get upset on how I use my own stuff.
If you have a computer, do you use it to surf the web or write programs?
If you're not using it for programing then you are just a lowly "information getter".
If you have a stove and not using it to make gourmet meals each night then you are a "fatty fast food eater".

I love our truck but getting groceries is one of the last things I'd do with it. It's just way more convenient to jump in my 2013 Mazda 3 Hatchback for jobs like that. The majority of the time we're using the truck it's for hauling, towing, or a long trip.
I did use it once to get a bed full of groceries for a local food pantry, though.

I thought these 5th gen RAM's were purposely designed for grocery and mall crawling. Lift up the rear seats on the quad and you'll even find hooks for hanging your grocery bags on.
Call my truck what you want it isn't ever going to be as derogatory as the nickname Brits have given to Jeeps - hairdressers wagons - because the only people who ever seemed to drive them were blonde, air head types, what non-pc Gen x'ers might remember as bimbos.

This response makes me think you checked the top option in this survey.
I mean, lets be honest. Half ton pick-ups aren't really trucks. They are perfectly capable of doing some "truck stuff". But let's face it, this is a truck...
