So I had a 2011 Outdoorsman, and I sold it over the cost to keep the tank filled. I went from there to a Prius seeking gas cost relief. After 6 months, I couldn't stand the Prius's complete lack of power/acceleration, and it was a real pain to go to Lowes and get anything bigger than a bucket of joint compound. But I persisted. I sold the Prius and bought a Ford CMAX with an electric battery that charges for 5 hours and gives me about 15 miles of "free" driving each day. It gets way better gas mileage than the Prius (haven't calculated the cost difference with my home electricity feeding the car), and it actually has decent pick-up even when in pure electric mode. And it's also a hybrid like the Prius once the little battery is spent.

But I missed that Outdoorsman, and now after a couple of years of riding low to the ground, I finally purchased another RAM. This one is a 2017 Laramie Longhorn, white with a gold trim, brown leather seats, beautiful inside and out, and not many miles on it at all. I kept the CMAX because the Dodge dealer basically tried to steal it from me. So I have a little get around car when I need it, and I have my Longhorn when I want to be king of the road.

Looking good! Congrats! and I get it... the very few times in my life I've been without a pickup in my fleet I've really missed having one. You don't miss them and you forget how convenient they are till you don't have one and you have to rely on others to get stuff for you (no good)

Welcome back. It’s great having a 2nd run around car so the Titanic can stay moored in my garage. Nice find by the way.
