…I’m convinced what I want for a daily driver 🤣
Although not this big of a behemoth. Something a little smaller and
easier on gas.
Any fans of pickups? I think it would just be convinient for tracks and
other shit.
Driving this thing around just makes you feel pretty bad ass.
Looking down on everyone and all. :twisted: .
As you can see, no way in hell it was going to fit in my garage. It barely
fit on my driveway.
I dunno.

I once drove an F350 Lariat (fully pimped, leather, all options, and shiny white) from here to Quebec, and I totally know what you mean. A lot of fun to drive those torque-monsters 😉

It’s another world up there. I like being low to the ground myself.
I drove the new Ram, when a Civic was near the back of the truck I could barely even see it over the edge of the bed.
And then there’s parking.
Felt good getting back in the 240.

I drove a Ford Excursion from here to NYC, and around Manhattan. :noes:
I would take it up to 140km/h and scare the shit out of left lane stragglers.
We had 6 people seated comfortably in it, A/C on the whole way, and i didn’t pay for gas, so it was all good. 8)
Finding parking in Manhattan was a mission. But thanks to all the Hummer owners, they broadened their lots with a premium of course.

I drove one of the new RAMs around for work one day… it is a totally
different feeling. Kinda cool being up high and all…
I was also glad to get back into the 240.

when i was working for clintar i had the pleasure of driving a 2005 2500 gmc crew cab with 900km on it. really peppy, not as high up as the fords.
2004, f350 super duty, hauled asss with a 20 foot closed trailer,
my uncles, 2003 3500 gmc extended cab…chipped 800ft lbs of torque, 600hp.
and when his truck was given to one of the other managers and he got his new one. 2004 ford f350, 1100 ft lbs of torque…you gotta drive one of these…especilly when the fuel is free and so are the tires 😛
fast like a vette…he says it’s faster than his c5…and hauls a few tonns of cargo in a closed trailer and still does a burnout.
also the biggest damn truck i ever driven

Well this was just very different driving around town.
The list of cars I have driven to date is not very big and the only torqueist
car I had was the 5.0L. The rest were pretty much average sedans.
I guess this is somewhat of a one time feeling because it was my first
time driving a pickup but it was cool nonetheless.
I’m not much of an SUV fan seeing I pretty much hate every SUV owner
on the road. I wouldn’t mind something old school in terms of SUV
though.
Marc: Would you own that SUV if you had to?

My parents have an expedition, I love it, i dont care who hates suv’s they just havnt driven one long enough. I drive this thing all the time, its comfy and fits all your friends, Its not as bad as everyone would think on gas, it has made it to niagra on just over 3/4 of a tank of gas.
Every time im glad to get back to my 240 its fun taking a corner faster then 5km/h

Are you kidding me?
With the triple digits on bronze?
No way. I’d much rather have a smaller SUV, and get a trailer.
If money wasn’t an option, i wouldn’t mind it. It hauled ass, and was a very comfortable ride.

If I wanted a really big pick-up and money wasnt an issue, I’d look into the International XT series of trucks.
