Default The wife's new truck arrived.

My wife's new truck arrived today. She ordered it about 6 weeks ago.

2012 Ram 2500 Crew Cab 4x4 Cummins with 6 speed manual transmission.

Fresh off the truck, she's picking it up right now. Bye Bye piece'o'crap powerstroke.

Bye bye POS powerstroke, hello POS Cummins.... No way in hell I'd own a 6.7 Cummins. Hope she has better luck out of it than EVERYONE I know that has one.

I honestly tried to convince her to buy a Dmax, but she was stuck on the cummins. The biggest reason was that she was able to order it with the 6 speed manual.

She looked at the Dmax's but for the equipment she wanted, they were just way too expensive. Hopefully this one will be better than the POS 6.0 powerstroke we just got rid of. I can't even imagine it being anywhere near as bad.

We've got horses and have trailered them all over. My ol' lady's family also owns a full-out horse farm and rasies bucking bulls. Unless you're pulling a huge *** cattle trailer or big luxury liner, it's fine. Believe it or not, a luxury liner that only holds three horses, weighs 26,000 lbs. loaded up. In order to have a stock truck that would have a warranty and be able to pull the trailer without struggle and be stable, you'd literally have to buy a Kenworth. The single wheels out back begin to show out at a certain load limit. Been there, done that. Regardless, that's a nice *** truck.

Want a picture? It gets attention.
