I do think Ram interior is on point but trucks like that and the Raptor are way to big for my needs.

Wish we could get packages like this in a 2dr cab config. Hmmm F-250 tremor in 2dr would be the jam.
Remember these guys????

If the Broncos were out when I bought my 2019 I would've gone that way. If my lariat died today, I'de get a Bronco.

The 1982-1984 Dodge Rampage still appeals to me....

Beautiful, but $100,000? Who has that kind of money these days...or any days for that matter ?
I got to ride in one at Mecum last year. While it was fun and they pull like crazy they're just way to impractical to own. Now if I hit the Lotto that's a whole other story. lol

Some people can cavalierly drop $100k on a truck like they were buying a candy bar.

Others will stretch their finances to the limit to just appear like they can cavalierly drop $100k on a truck.

I knew a fellow several years ago that had his boss exaggerate his income just so that he could buy a very expensive truck.

When he told me what he did he was already driving it. It got repossessed after a bit over a year.

It just depends on what is important to a person.

This is a good question. Had I known the wait, I'd probably simply driven to Maryland and bought one off the lot for MSRP and hated myself for doing so, or perhaps I might have bought the new Nissan.

Completely true and happens often. I'm especially proud of one daughter and her husband - make darned good money but practically live like hermits.

They always pay cash for salvage cars that look immaculate. Bought their home and land at the county auction - giveaway price. Not where I would live but it's close to his dad.


They keep money in the bank but try to support too many people who don't deserve it. Life goes on....

I think I would consider the Santa Cruz... however, they are having some issue ... I actually think I would get the Mazda CX-50.. I really liked my CX-5 but it's a bit girly - yeah, from a guy that also has a Miata.. ha! - but the new CX-50 is pretty cool. and, Mazda has some excellent build quality and reliability.

What about new Raptor R?
I like RAM full size styling better. Truthfully, like to find a 1989 Dakota Convertible that was in good shape. Neighbor has a Gladiator pickup with a folding top - I like it too.
