Congrats! My FIL is on his second Ram 1500 and loves it. They briefly had a Mazda CX5 and said they loved it before they dumped it for a Jeep Grand Cherokee. They churn through cars.

The GC is a nice truck, but it's really pretty trucky. My wife is not a fan of driving big vehicles, the CX-5 doesn't drive "big."

iknorite? I think the redline is 3,400 RPM or something like that.

Lots and lots of my friends have Rams and for the most part they've been very reliable and great workhorses.

One of their issues is he is 6'4" and my MIL is 5'2 and there's no one vehicle they both feel comfortable driving.

So how long before you get to actually use it?

And, you know, that giant badge on the door comes off pretty easily.

Then you can wear it on a rope around your neck.

I've never really been a de-badger.

Since I skipped the event today to run and climb, next local event? July? It needs lots of detailing before Oscoda
