You're not a fan of the FORD looks - but, you'd buy THAT??!?

I probably could fit the mini in the back of this beast. Yes, it's the long bed... It's my work truck for at the track. And, my daughter thinks it's going to be her first car

What can I tell ya? I dont like the Ford look. The Chevy appeals to me for a number of reasons.

Worse than the Ford looks are the Dodge Ram's.

And they just aren't good trucks. I've never met someone who liked them. Almost everyone I know that has one got rid of it for something else.

From what I understand... Their diesel motors weren't bad - but the transmissions were more than shit.

Typical Chrysler tranny. They were shit for a long time. The newer versions aren't bad....downright smooth almost. My Jeep is decent. It's only clunky when it's cold...once warmed up everything is good.

The Dodge diesel is by far the better engine and supposedly they have repaired the tranny issue. My hubby just bought an 2009.

Tell her not to practice parking near me

Nice looking truck... too bad about it not coming with a Cummins

I posted the pic on facebook, she tagged herself in the cab - I moved the tag to the back tire.

It's a long ass bed, best backed into a parking space. She's working on mastering that. We're parallel parking this weekend... well, practice. If she can park this thing, she can park anything.

I parallel parked a Lincoln Town Car on my driver test.
