    New Truck

    This is a few weeks late, but I haven't had much time to be on here lately. I got rid of my 06 Mark LT and picked up a 2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Laraime Crew Cab. After driving this thing 60' I wish I would of made the switch from the 5.4L PIG to a HEMI a long time ago! I absolutely love it and it is nicer, has more interior room and rides better than my Lincoln. Just got the windows tinted and finally snapped a few quick shots with my cell.

    Lincoln was getting about 12.5 MPG with the SCT programmer and would not get out of its own way.

    Ram is getting right at 16 MPG driving it like it's a Mustang. It runs about as good as Monica's STS. Of course, if you'd ever come visit, you could try it out 1st hand.

    Thing is laid out. I like how they did the dual rear exit exhausts on those trucks. Very clean.

    Nice ride ED. Yeah those 5.4s are dogs and hogs. That's why I got rid of mine. My 5.3 in my gmc will run circles around those 5.4s and get better mileage.

    If the ride wasn't so shitty in the Dodge 2500 and F250 platforms I would of. Driving about 70 miles a day roundtrip for work, I wanted more creature comforts.

    I drive about that much and even being as jacked up as much as mine is I have no ride complaints. the seats in the older trucks like mine do suck though right at the leading edge just behind your knees is stuffed to tight and can put some preasure against the bottom of your legs and causes them to go to sleep after awhile. I rode in Kurts 04 and it didnt seem to bad but, I guess after the luxury truck you traded in would be a bit different.

    Nice truck Ed. I don't know why the Dodge truck styling changes take a while to grow on me. When they changed the body in '02 I hated the look, now I own one that style?? Same with this restyle, didnt like it when I first saw them, now it's slowly growing on me.
