ckreef Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 I got a new position at work which keeps me really busy so I've only done limited grilling lately and not much time on the forums. I swore off buying new grills so I couldn't do that again but I never said anything about a new truck. Me and Mrs skreef wanted to get a bigger trailer (a 5th wheel) and our Nissan Titan was not going to cut it. Back in January I started looking around for a HD truck. Ended up doing a factory order of a Ram. From order date to dealer delivery was about 11 weeks. Here she is: Ram 3500 6.4 Hemi, 4x4 crew cab, short bed Laramie lv1, towing technology package, bed utility package, and 5th wheel/gooseneck prep GVWR 11,000 Max Towing 14,525 CCC 4025 GCWR 21,500 11
BOC Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 Nice wheels! It’s a good thing you went for the 3500 and not the 2500 . It’s a running joke with my wife and I every time we see one now.https://www.thedrive.com/news/38238/ram-2500-drivers-have-the-most-duis-more-than-twice-the-national-average-reportSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1

jeffshoaf Posted April 12, 2021 Report Posted April 12, 2021 I wish they would put "Dodge" on the front instead of "Ram" - much more appropriate for incoming traffic! 1 2

Good trick - find something more expensive to buy first. I'm on to you. This is just a precursor to convincing Mrs S that a 42 is not too expensive after all. That said, beautiful truck. I love the idea of being able to chuck things in the back of a truck and go. Congratulations. 3
Bruce Pearson Posted April 13, 2021 Report Posted April 13, 2021 Very nice truck Charles! Guess the 5th wheel mobile home will be next lol! My daughter wanted a pet so she bought herself a Great Dane puppy. Alas they grow very fast so she bought a pickup truck to haul him around! The things we do for our pet friends lol 5 1

tony b Posted April 13, 2021 Report Posted April 13, 2021 Congrats, ckreef on both the new job and the new killer ride. Don't be a stranger, we've missed your posts. 4
ckreef Posted April 13, 2021 Author Report Posted April 13, 2021 Thanks everyone. The new position at work has really dampened my grilling (get home to late now). That and we've put all our effort in the new truck purchase and a new 5th wheel trailer we're picking up this weekend. Hopefully later this summer life will get back to a normal pace. On another front both me and Mrs skreef got our second vaccine shot yesterday 5
