I love my 2007 Dodge with 5.9 Cummins. I have never had an issue with it.I love that vintage Dodge/Cummins also...but don't own one because I'd have to wear ear plugs to drive it. Loudest engine ever made.

Me too...but mine was a GMC 2wd. And geared so high that one time I put a big load of firewood in it and had to unload half the load because with the gearing it didn't have enough power to pull out of the hollow where I was cutting wood. Stupid me then bought a '76 GMC and for years had to go through the points/plugs routine, only I did it every 10000 miles.I had one of those back in the day. 10 mpg and a finicky carburetor that didn’t like winter mornings. Also, a mechanical distributor with points that needed replaced and tuned up every 15k miles. The good old days weren’t as good as some remember them.
I settled for a 6.5 ft bed, because $2500 Cdn. Haven't needed to replace it yetAll my pickups over the years have had an 8' bed (why have a pickup any other way??).
'91 C10 4.3L 2wd 5spd manual reg cab. Scotsdale?? (While in Santa Clara CA.)
'97 F250 7.3L 4x4 5spd manual Extended cab. XLT (Buda, TX)
'02 F250 7.3L 4x4 6spd manual Extended cab. XLT (Buda, TX)
'06 F350 6.0L 4x4 Auto CrewCab XLT. (Wylie, TX)
'19 F350 6.7L 4x4 Auto CrewCab Lariat Ultimate (Close to a Platinum trim). (Wylie, TX)
Each one was way better than the one before it. The '19 is the nicest and fanciest truck I have (and probably ever will) own. It rides so nice empty or loaded, just squats more than the '06 due to softer springs (so more people wouldn't complain I suppose ). It has plenty of power and tows the 15K Toy hauler with ease and confidence. So many features that make it a dream to drive and it does get better mpg's than the '06 empty and slightly better when towing the same trailers.
“Deluxe Aluminum Wheels (4).............$185”Yeah, If I had ordered it as a F350 Crewcab, I would probably still have it.

I really worry about Taiwan.Yeah, I feel that obsession of general public with full size trucks (the ones that not using them for farming, construction, etc. duties) is rediculous.
Yes, people fell more secure, but to a point they think they are king of the road and "I am bigger thus more important than you and I'll push you of the road!"
And how not easy to park them and navigate on city streets.
Saying this, I have diesel Kia Bongo (170 hp) 4wd, but I have business, mountain farm and 4 dogs. It's size corresponde to midsize truckView attachment 702206View attachment 702207
Was it a Toyota 4Runner?My wife has a newer fully loaded mid size SUV with all kinds of options doesn't even have a key. Using it once the Windows were fogged tried to open the door to back it up damn car wouldn't stay in gear as soon as you open the door it goes into park. You drive at night the lights will dim for you,
out of habit I end up accidentally brighting everyone. when it rains the wipers turn on automatically and I accidentally always shut them off when I need them, the car will brake automatically if a cars in front of you, shakes like you have a flat tire when you get to close to the shoulder. I won't even get into all the four letter words I will say talking about syncing cell phones in it I hate that car with a passion and fear the day I need to replace my 2500, she loves her car and all the crazy conveniences for some. What the hell happened to actually driving a car? My Rants over
