So you think, I’m not one that hauls or tows once a month or so. I haul and tow daily and 50,000 miles a year easily. The blue oval hasn’t given me a reason to dump on it yet.

I will say that a co-worker has a ‘14 Ram 1500 and it’s been a great truck too. The GM’s in our fleet have been the worst. No yotas though. One guy had a Titan and it was great but drank fuel like crazy.

Let me say that it’s not always about the truck. It about picking the right truck of your choice of manufacture. I knew to pick the truck equipped with Max tow package and
Heavy payload. I see some of the guys just grab any truck on the lot and then b**** about it’s tow performance but it’s got a highway gear. A properly outfitted truck with tow package will have the additional coolers and perform better.
Just bought a 18 Ford Transit 2500 with 4,700 miles on it for our service fleet, saved $ 8,000.00 over a 19, stars and moon must have been perfectly in alignment? It's pretty tall, so no ladder/pipe racks on top, nothing makes customers mader than tearing the poop out of there trees pulling in the drive way!

That’s true... I wish I had gotten the max tow when I bought mine. I’d just keep it if I had.

Well it hit the box fan on its way to me and splattered!
Well you’re truck is way nicer then mine! And to think I’m getting ready to trade for an even older model. I should’ve stayed with my old one. There’s the right rig for everyone
