My supt is getting ready to scrap his ecobooth due to all of the problems he has had with it lately. Guess what he is looking at? That'll be 3 converts. My ram was a great truck,.. extremely fast with some mild tinkering. Would eat any other truck on the road at will..my gmc is by far a better riding truck and more luxurious,..but fucker is slow as fuck killer gas mpg though.

I figure i'm in the 450-460 HP range now. But, 11-12 mpg. Still, it's just a fucking truck. It sounds mean as fuck and has torque out the ass but really, I feel like the cash I've dumped on it was a waste. I won't do it again.

The GM's have a lower gear rear end which makes acceleration dull but gives them better mpgs. I think my ram rides pretty good but Vince's new high country rides like a Cadillac. Those gm v-8's will run forever too. I've had several that went 200-300,000 miles and beyond before I got rid of them. I currently have gm, Ford and ram trucks. The GM's have statistically been the most trouble free. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My interior looks pretty basic compared to my buddies new rides. I even read an article that said how "basic" the Tundras were. However, I like it. I like it a lot. I've always been a SIlverado guy but this Tundra has me smitten with it. Durability second to none. Period. And I've put a shitload of miles on trucks over the years. 1 minute ago, awful knawful said: Duck because of ownage! Best bet for you The Miata...check it out.

My 19 2500 Exspress with the 4.3 8 speed is averaging 18mpg loaded up. Still has plenty of passing power at 75mph. The boss bought 8 of them in Jan and just ordered 10 more for Aug delivery. The 20 Transits in the Fleet are killing him in mpg and repairs. The older Chevys in the Fleet have less repair and maintenance cost than the newer ferds.

Yeah....these newer trucks are really something on performance. These aren't dads old pick-up anymore. My first vette was a 92 Z51. i was so excited. As I moved up to the newer Z06's, it made that thing look (and act) like a slug. Still, I'm a vette guy. I can appreciate them all. The only real true world class, American "super car". I'd consider an older one someday too. I loved the 80-82 versions. Just sexy to me. Hey....my boys are on your ice to play for a consecutive National Championship today. My daughter is there...I almost flew out myself. We could have had a drink or 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
