We are decidedly NOT fools. I don't see the baby GM diesel trucks as competition to EDs. The interior space is far larger, the cargo area is larger, the ride is better ('specially with air ride) the truck is way better looking (IMHO), and their mileage is only better by 1 or 2 MPG - a sad fact...
.....and virtually the same fuel economy. Less room, less payload, less towing capacity. Hmmm there's a recipe for success. Only the die-hard GM fanboys with think that's a better deal.
Yep I call it my George Jetson bike. I'm a fan of the styling, which sets me apart from the Harley crowd (to which I've belonged a few times also). Looking for a good deal on a trailer for this 900 lb beast.
The GM trucks IMHO look great. I love the front lights and the profile. Ram #2 in looks, but #1 everywhere else that counts. If the GM had coil springs, air suspension and our diesel, I would have gone that route.
Yep -the air ride and coil springs make this an unbeatable setup compared to the other 1/2 ton trucks. The purty li'l diesel is some sweet icing on the cake. Oh, and it looks damn good too!!! :D
I like the idea of the auto-dimming mirrors a lot better than the actual use of them, at least in my Ram. It just doesn't seem to work well - the lights behind me are still way too bright. I am out the door at 5am each day, and the last thing I need at that hour is to be blinded from behind...
Traded an '02 Ford Escape V6 w/ over 200K. It was a reliable little shytebox, but nothing to get excited about. The Ram sings her beautiful diesel song to me every day now, and I couldn't be happier. About to pull the trigger on a 6,000lb TT and start having some family adventures.
Hopefully you join our ranks soon. The real question is.....what color will you get? Allow me to advocate for Granite Crystal Metallic. It's one classy color and doesn't show dirt badly at all!
