My two issues with Ram, is the resale value and THIN sheet metal. Other than that, I’ve found them to be the funnest and most confortable trucks to drive. The GM trucks cheap/ cost cutting plastic interiors bug me. My problem is I can pick apart something out of all the new trucks, I’m just not overall impressed by the quality vs. price tag.
Ford is the only brand I absolutely 110% refuse to own.
As for electric, I’m not agaist them, but I’m not for them either. I’m on the fence and I’d need to see some long term ownership reviews before I felt comfortable with them.
My rules for car ownership are set in stone and predictable. I only buy German cars and GM trucks. The only exceptions to this were 2 short lived college cars, one of which I purchased for $25.
I don’t critically shop trucks, I pick whichever GM powertrain I want and get something. They are all junk but junk I’ve become familiar with. I’ll own this thing for 10 years, it will be rusted to hell and used up in that timeline then I’ll dump it and do it again.
I’m running on a shoestring budget. No fancy enclosed trailer for me, as I don’t have a big truck. Just my Chevy Bolt EV. Tows the small 5x8 trailer just fine, tho.
The kids (son and daughter) raced quarter midgets before my son and I got the karts. Cars, generator, compressor, tools, canopy etc. would all fit in the trailer exactly one way. We got good at packing!
We’re pulling an 8.5x16 enclosed v-nose trailer with a Ford Raptor. Typically carry two karts (but can definitely hold more) plus gear. We’ve got the following basics that come to every race.
