Gone and bought me a pickup

[bbqbeef]

Hi all,

Im originally from the UK and have moved out to the US for work. Being a big guy I've always felt a pickup truck is the perfect kind of vehicle for me and you know i always loved the look of them. After 8 months driving a beat up, no power POS Chevy Cruze I've finally gone and bought me a Ram 1500 Big Horn and i freaking love it. I won't be towing anything and it will mostly be used on the road but i got the 4x4 option for the snow in MD and the resale value - as ill be leaving the US in 4 years :-(

Ive spent a few weeks lurking in the background and reading various thread but thought it was about time i posted something.

Ive already got various mods / improvements ordered..

- Cabin air filter
- tailgate assit
- BedRug liner (getting rid of the drop in crap)
- BAKFlip MX4 Folding Tonneau Cover

Looking forward to learning more about Rams from you guys.

Here she is... (just about squeezes into my apartments parking garage)

Sweet! I have a cousin in the UK who loves his early gen Ford Explorer even on those somewhat narrow roadways where you drive on the WRONG side of the road!

Welcome to the Colonies and enjoy your stay!

Nice truck and good choice. Certainly a much better choice than a 1.0L 3-cylinder sub-compact lol.

When you move back to the UK ship the RAM back with you. The times I've been to the UK never saw a RAM on the many narrow roads so you can continue to send the forum reports on your experiences driving it over there.

Nice ride, welcome to the forum

Congratulations on the new truck! The utility a pickup truck offers, especially one with a full size backseat, is tough to beat. You could start a blog about car ownership in the US vs the UK, they don't have many pickup trucks that I recall. God save the Queen!!!

Welcome!
Congratulations on owning a proper bespoke pick-up truck instead of some rubbish Chubby, Furd or rice burning Ute.
