So my wife and I were in the market for a new vehicle as we sold my truck last year and both have small cars (we have fairly long commutes to work). We were initially looking at SUVs (small and midsize, because who can afford a suburban or expedition xl?) but I came across all the rebates Ram was offering on new '17 1500s. So we drove about 60 miles to check out one we liked online but the dealer just couldn't get the price right. After leaving I felt like I may have ****** myself because the old lady loved the space in the crew cab. Way more room than the SUVs we've looked at. I checked with my local dealer about getting it transferred here (about 2 miles from the house, because if I can't get the price where I want it I can get the truck where I want it I guess). While waiting for the other dealer to say yea or nay on the transfer my salesman says he's got a used 2500 that I could check out. Well I went to check it out (mainly to kill time while waiting to hear from the other dealer) and needless to say I was liking being back in a 3/4 ton truck (my previous truck was an '05 GMC 2500).

I think your wife is the smart one. She liked having more room and talked into a 2500 without saying a word.
Now you can haul/tow more stuff which means you can do more work around the homestead. Clever and diabolical that wife of yours.

Welcome sir.
