Matt Posted March 6, 2022 Share Posted March 6, 2022 I'm hoping the fuel prices stay up just long enough to trigger a sell-off of trucks. My 2016 Sierra Denali 1500 does surprisingly well towing the travel trailer in flats and rolling hills, but I want more payload, better power, better brakes, and a stiffer overall setup for crossing the mountains between AZ and WI. Maybe in the fall. Ram 2500 is the only 3/4 ton that's garage friendly so it will probably be one of those. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have been for years. Pacifier fell on the floor for now. I really dig filling up for free much of the time. Times I do pay it’s pennies a mile cost. Nice not to have gas or energy bills.

The exist pipeline infrastructure from Canada to the US is under utilized. Only pipeline even close to running at capacity is in the Permian. Canada needs to harvest a lot more oil to even put a strain on exist infrastructure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The reviews of the Rivian have been outstanding. There's been some comparisons between the Rivian and modified rock crawlers and the Rivian has done well. An all around winner.
