What do you drive for a truck?

   / What do you drive for a truck? #41  
mine is a 2018 Ram with the cummings and it is probably the best truck I have had. I just added firestone air bags to help level it up when I haul my big trailers and tractor. I have considered trading I was talking to a guy the other day that was driving one same year as mine but had a utility bed on it when I asked him what kind of work he did he said he was retired and that utility bed was handier than door knob on an outhouse. He uses it when he goes camping, grocery shopping or anything he said if he had known it was that handy he would have always had one.

I believe it could get stuck on wet grass going down hill.
LMAO, I had a 71' Chevy Cheyenne that literally would get hung up on flat ground in the grass. More than once I pulled it out of the yard with a 12HP lawn tractor, it just needed that little nudge to get moving. It was a beautiful truck but useless off gravel or pavement.

Currently have a 2010 tundra that has been coast to coast and many points in between with travel trailer in tow. NEVER had a moments problem out of it and for me it rides better than any car. My other truck is a 92' GMC k3500 flat bed, might as well call it a daily driver (if I drove daily) retirement means not going out often and when I do it usually means I have stuff to load up, stuff I am NOT going to put in the Tundra.

I mostly drive my 1985 F150 Lariat - it has the 300 6 cyl. and only 72k miles. Has delay wipers, tilt, a/c that works well, cruise that works well. I got rid of the computerized ignition & carb system and installed one of the GM-style HEI distributors and made a standard carb out of the 1 bbl Carter. Dependably runs very well.

My used-to-be daily driver is my early 1999 F250 Super Duty 4x4 XLT - it has 275k on it. Everything still works on it too. I sold my gooseneck a couple of years ago so the truck sits more often now. It too will get stuck in wet grass if you're not careful.

I'm 3rd owner for each truck, retired mechanic so they both stay in pretty good shape all the time. Have owned the F150 for almost 5 years now, the F250 I've had for 13 years.

Good Morning Guys,
2017 Ford F150 5.0 L V8, Super Cab with 6.5 ft bed. I use it everyday, occasional saw mill runs for wood working projects! Also occasionally pull my 22 ft pontoon boat !
It’s been a very good vehicle so far, bought it new in February of 2017 so 7 years old.

2015 F-150 Lariat 4x4, 3.5 EcoBoost 4x4. Was my daily until I took a new job that provides a company car, now my truck is my weekend warrior. Usually a trailer hooked to it. Used to tow a large travel trailer with it, now its my dump trailer or enclosed cargo trailer. This truck is an absolute torque monster and pulls like a freight train, I love this truck.

'02 Dakota, 4.7 extended cab. 225k. I know there are some here who diss them, but it's been a great truck. Other than having to replace the soft exhaust manifold bolts and some rust repair it's been trouble free.
Not sure what I'd replace it with, leaning towards a Colorado if I can find a used one with the extended cab. Hope I don't need to for at least a few more years.
