2017 2wd 5.7 with the 3.92 rear. Cloth, the factory Alpine system upgrade, rear fold flat floor, rear floor storage cubbies, bed liner, came with the sunroof. A front WeatherTech full floor liner. An exTang Trifect tonneau . LED Tailgate Lightbar. RAM full length extended side steps. 2 sets of different factory 5 lug wheels and tires that I change out for 2 long annual road trips, and this set pictured when around town. I do all the annual maintenance on it myself, and this month floor jacked it up in the garage and finished doing an entire rear "level" on it with new coils springs, new shorter Belltech shocks, and shorter sway bar end links. End of last year finally got the title from the bank, own it free and clear. This is a completely poser 2wd street truck, a total Home Depot parking lot asphalt queen, setup entirely for myself and the wife's comfort... and I freely admit that.

FWIW my real true loves, original owner of a '93 BRONCO XLT 351W that gets driven very little, and few years ago purchased a CA retired '99 Crown Victoria SAP that I've cleaned up and drive quite a bit....

That is a really nice, clean, Truck.
Pavement Queens are the verr Best.

Long way from retirement, but I use this RAM for actually quiet a few things local. And annually it takes one spring and one fall road trip of about 1500 miles, each way, to Kansas (hence why I put on another set of wheels with basically SUV tires on them). But this truck just isn't ever going off road, or working "really" that hard. Besides, "real" pick-up trucks don't have spark plugs and 20" wheels.

For some reason, I've never been that impressed with diesel pick-ups.


Not sure why?


Might be from all those decades driving locomotives.

Agreed. I used to think diesel pickups were super cool until I got behind the wheel of a Western Star.
Big thumbs up to the original poster’s Ram and Bronco. Nice job.

I hear you on the locomotive thing nothing beats the sound and rumble of a old school EMD 567.
