So I come from 60 years of die hard chevy truck fans.

Heres alittle story that still makes me grin. Before I bought my ram i had been looking at trucks for about 4 months. I talked to my whole family about them all after test driving each different truck; chevy, gmc, toyota, ford, dodge, nissan. First thing out of my grandmas mouth you buy anything but a chevy or gmc we will disown you. No kidding guys my family has been buying chevy and gmc vehicles for almost 65 years. So ive never been one for following rules, so i bought my Ram 1500 because i refuse to pay 40,000+ for a under powered 5.3. Well i rolled up to my family meet getting stared down like a deer who had just walked into a lions din in my Ram 1500. Well my dad, grandpa, uncle all of them take there turns driving my truck and every single one of them now says Damn Ryans truck has power and the interior looks way better then my chevy does. So just alittle story that makes me proud I stuck with my gut and bought a dodge. Sorry for the story length

Awesome story. Glad to hear they didn't let their bias take over. It says a lot about these trucks, but also a lot about your family. That's cool.

awesome to hear.

My dad has had just about every truck you can get (he leased them). First was dodge, black ram 1500 02, then a yellow ford that truck was awesome just for the color 04 left over, then an 07 tundra this was his favorite. we looked at every single manufactreer before getting another one in 2010 and chevy was the highest price for a piece of junk IMO.

I had him convinced to get a ram, but they didnt want to work a good deal, went back to toyota and he finally bought a truck, a 2010 tundra.

At least I got a ram for my truck!

I actually was looking for a chevy but mine came up for a deal I couldn't refuse and now after owning this I'd never go bak to Chevy.
