so today i finally got around to driving a new ram.

2004 SLT short bed reg cab automatic HEMI

too much freakin power i blew her sideways a few times and it caught me by surprise... didnt really expect it..... having that will only get me in trouble and since i dont have anything to tow..... dont need the power.

so i decided definitely gonna go with the 4.7 if i get a new body style one however i am looking into old body style ram SPORTS reg cab short box v8.

 

If you get an old one, what engine are you looking at? I've heard that you should stay away from the 5.9 Magnums. I'd go for the new 4.7 myself, if I didn't alreay have a HEMI (14 mpg h: )

 

4.7 if i go with new body style but i do like the 99-01 ram spors with the 5.9.... what did you hear about the 5.9 that i should be looking out for?

hemi is wayyyy too much power id have the truck around a tree before the new car smell went away

 

weve had a 96 dodge ram with the 5.9l engine sence new and its never had problems :dunno:

 

turbo diesel!!!!

 

i talked to a tow truck driver today and he said stay away from rams cuz they have crappy front ends....

he said they tow 4-5 a month for bad front ends.... :sad:

 

Yeah... they are nice

 

not avail in 1500

 

I'm not much of a Ram fan.

I like the way the new ones LOOK, but that's it.

In fact I really don't even like trucks.

:dunno:

 

If I had to drive a truck, It'd be a Toyota Tacoma 4WD Prerunner. Slightly lifted. Slighty larger tires.
