I don't need to go around taking pictures of my toys to know I have them. I just use them. I'm on my 4th King Ranch F150 so far and currently contemplating the 5th. Post up some pics of your wonderful junk yard frankentruck and perhaps I'll go to the driveway and take a picture of my truck. Right now I don't have one. I just don't get giddy enough when I buy a new truck that I have to take pictures of it. How is a dodge ram a franken truck? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just happen to like new and can afford to trade them typically about every 4 years. The current one is now 6 years old and it's the longest I' ve had any truck. Still a great truck. I'm just long overdue for new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A king ranch is not worth the extra coin imo...nor is the lariet...basically paying 10000+ just for leather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's your opinion... to me I get my monies worth and can afford it. Moon roof, cooled and heated seats and a bunch more. I like things like climate control rather than turning a knob for fan and temp, the back up camera that came with it etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I price out buying a base truck and adding all the option packages that I want or price out a Lariat and adding all the options that I want I come out to about the same as the King Ranch which comes with all the options I want. I've come to like all the bells and whistles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did your truck have any frame/unibody damage? Did you have it checked by a frame shop on the frame rack? Does your truck steer properly? Do you have excessive tire wear? Are all your front-end suspension components undamaged? Do you trust your truck at 70MPH, with your family's life? A hard hit ALWAYS causes frame damage.

Just overdone IMO. Not everyone likes the same thing. If everyone did there would only be one model of truck in one configuration and one colour. You couldn't pay me enough to drive a Dodge, Had one guy get his 4 wheel drive Ram stuck this summer trying to back his RV into a spot on soft ground with all the rain we had. Unhooked his truck from the RV, pulled his truck out, hooked up my F150 to the RV, pulled it out and then backed it in to where it should be. To be fair though I think it was more the driver that got it stuck than the truck itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
