Hey all,

So after a only a short time, I had to get rid of my truck :(. It was great having it and it came in handy SO MANY times! But to make things a bit easier on me, it had to go. It was great being part of this forum, and I learned A LOT from you all. Thank you for all your wisdom!

Take care, and hopefully I'll be back in the future!

I don't blame you. Some guys 'need' a truck, other guys want one. But ultimately they're expensive to buy and own. Sometimes ya have to make hard decissions... been there.

Best of luck to you. Hang in there. Your smart to cut your expenses if it's making things hard on you. As opposed to being car poor.

Maybe you should stick around and participate here, you had a ram. You qualify. Lol. Take care.

Ya, I drive 70km a day to work and back, plus driving around town for random stuff. I have to fill up the tank almost every week and a bit. It definitely gets expensive!

Thank you all so much for your support and understanding. It's very appreciated. I wish you all the best :)

Sorry to hear you have to get rid of the Ram. Hopefully your situation will improve soon and you can drive what you want.

What are you driving instead?

Edit: I just noticed that you and I have the same join date! You're like my Ram brother. You even have/had a white 1500.

Dierks,

I don't know you, because I'm new to the forum, but there have been so many who have helped me in so short a time - good luck and I hope you come back someday. I think we have a good bunch of guys here who are just in love with their Dodge Rams - and that creates a bond. I'm 48-years-old this month...in the 1970's we never had forums growing up - it's one of the benefits of living in the digital age. Good luck in the future, take care, and be safe.

Kind regards,

Maitai

Hey Ram Brother!!

Thank you so much for your comment.

My new vehicle is a 2017 Ford Escape Titanium. It has SO MANY bells and whistles!!! Plus, it has some power, so that’ll do me good!!

Well I'm new here, but sorry to see you go... but I know what financial burdens can do so if that was your smart decision, you gotta do what you gotta do.

I'll be 53 years old next month. I just bought my first NEW vehicle two months ago (my 2017 Ram 1500) and I love it. Case-in-point, I'm guessing you're a bit younger than I am - you have plenty of time to get another when the timing is right again... Hang in there.

Take care.
