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.

Genuinely curious, how many of us find the term "grocery getter" offensive when used to describe our 5th gen rams. If you haven't heard the phrase, it's used to describe a truck that does only light passenger duty chores; driving back and forth to work, pick up kids from school, getting groceries (hence the term) etc.

Descriptive phrases for other use cases might be:
mall crawler (looks like it could rock crawl but never goes off road)
tow pig (mainly used to tow)
snot rocket (its used for ferrying young kids)
etc

Any of these bother you, please cast your vote and post your thoughts below.

seriously that's what you worry about? move on with life who cares
 
I want to add a new category - Harry Home Owner (HHO):
  • 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 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).
My HHO meets all of my current needs so far in the 3 years I have owned it. :)

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.

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

Find 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". :ROFLMAO:

If you have a stove and not using it to make gourmet meals each night then you are a "fatty fast food eater". 😛

I took my wife to get some groceries. Does that count?

I’m not offended if it does.😬
 
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. :ROFLMAO:

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. :p

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...:ROFLMAO:
