Hey everybody. Just got my first nice truck and its a dodge! It's a 2006 ram 2500 quad cab 4x4. I gotta say i am lovin it. My old truck was a lowered 87 s10. I was starting to get tired of getting stuck and not being able to tow anything so i upgraded.

Everytime somebody sees it they say nice truck. Then they ask if it has a cummings in it. I say its got a hemi and they just say ohh like thats a bad thing. I dont think it is. Except for the gas mileage. lol. it's bad.

Anyway its pretty basic. The inside is cloth and it doesn't power locks or windows or anything. Less to break if ya ask me. It does have a built in cb and some nice all terrains. I plan on getting an exhaust. NOt sure what one yet so feel free to make suggestions. Might lift it but not sure yet. It looks good as is. Im going to get a tool box. I also need some sort of mud flaps. The trails I go down to get to my favorite fishing holes have perfect size pebbles to get sucked up in the tread then slung out on the highway and chip my pant. And I need some side steps to help get in and out of it. Ill put up some pics soon. All around I'd say dodge makes a bad ass truck. Yeee haaa!

Everyone always asks if you bought a Cummins. Hell, I've had people ask me that with my '11 Express. It's just what happens.

The Hemi is a great motor, and the 2500 chassis is badass.
I think you'll have great luck with it. Welcome to RF!

Nothing wrong with the HEMI powered trucks. If I was haulin' a good sized load a lot I'd have a diesel truck but don't really have a need for one which is why I chose the HEMI. It does everything I need it to do.
