20190311_125830.jpg Too many cars and trucks to list but the last vehicle I owned and sold to get my current Ram which is my third Ram was the 07 Jeep Commander. Really loved my Jeep but I missed having the bed space that my pickups all had.

2001 Dodge Dakota SLT 4x4, Charcoal over Silver w/chrome bumpers. It had to be a rare one. I would see other Dakotas or Durangos in the same two tone colors but without chrome bumpers 20140901_191932.jpg

6.7 CUMMINS
Prior to this Ram 6.7 Cummins, I didn't need a pick up. I decided to start a Hot Shot trucking, and purchased the 3500 Dually.

Before this, I drove VW's, (And still do, when I'm not driving this truck). exclusively since the 1980s, all of them were Diesel and lasted 400-600,000 miles before I sold them.
One thing I liked about the 2000-2015's that I have. The body was Zinc Dipped at the factory, and VW's come with a 12 year, Unlimited Mileage Rust and body corrosion warranty. I've never had any issue with body panels rusting through.
I've heard (and have seen) pretty much all U.S. made Pick ups with varying degrees of rust damage as they age.

I owned two pickup trucks last year. For offroad use I owned a Chevy Colorado ZR2, and because the Colorado only had a 5000 lb towing capacity I also owned a Ford F350 Super Duty to tow my 22' buggy hauler with the toys on it. I replaced both trucks with a Power Wagon, that works well offroad, and also tows the toys with ease. And I think the Power Wagon is more fun to drive than either of the other trucks. The 6.4 Hemi beats the 3.6 V6 in the Colorado, hands down. And the Power Wagon is quiet on a dirt road, whereas the F350 was the biggest rattle trap I've owned in a long time. But the best part is, ... I have $60K less money ******* in vehicles.

To keep the list short - just the trucks (in chronological order)
1973 F150 - 351W V8 2WD
1992 Chev 1500 - 4.3 V6 manual tranny 2WD
1996 F250 - 460 V8 Crew Cab 2WD
1997 F150 - 4.2 V6 Extended Cab 2WD
2013 F150 - 3.5 EcoBoost SuperCrew 4x4
2019 Ram Express Quad (wanted a full crew but wanted longer bed more)

of all the trucks I have owned, loved the 3.5 twin turbo for the fun driving, but love the ride, handling and style of the Ram the best.

Hadn't planned on this 15 Ram Laramie. Traded a 12 Town & Country for this. I still have a 95 Chev K2500, bought last Oct and put a plow on it. Have had a 89 K2500 ext cab, long bed. Bought it with 175k miles and drive it to junkyard with 300k, trans lost 3rd gear. I seriously was looking at GM, but do not like the 5.3. That left Denali or Escalade ESV.
The backseat room, air ride suspension, good reviews, and price brought me to this Ram. Wife hated the t&c, it did its job until i asked it to tow a 4000 lb trailer.
Do miss the 3rd row for the dogs, but both German Shepherds don't seem to mind.
