If you plan to haul or tow with the SRT you had better take a close look at the payload and towing limits. They haul ass but not much else.

I think it still has a 7000lbs towing capacity if I remember correctly.

I read an article the other day about a guy who does construction and uses an SRT Ram. He said that thing would do the work and then some...

Don't be upset because I provided a logical alternative to purchasing a truck, and you don't want to accept it. It's sort of like buying a house with an extra floor and never using it. I'm guessing that's acceptable to you, too. Quote:

This is great. You're just proving the point.
First, you came on here and didn't even address the topic. You simply let out your brainwashed, ignorant anger against trucks because you probably think they are the cause of global warming and are going to end the Earth. Then you proceeded to assume you were wasting your time because you see Texas. This is the dumbest part of all. Then you said this is why you hate the country. So yes, I'd say these are good reasons to worry. There are more and more people like you living in this country. And I'm really worried for our future because of it. All I can say is that I hope some day you grow up and realize your ignorance and can let go of the hate. That you'll "Open your eyes" and your mind and think about everything logically before you speak/reply.

I'm going to assume you are serious...

I don't see your complaint very clearly. You seem to "hate" anyone using a vehicle that does not conform to your ideals. You "hate" the country too.
Your area is of size that it does not have public transit yet you still drive a 6 cylinder BMW with twin turbos. Trying to demean members because of their decisions while attempting to make yourself seem more responsible is amusing.

Never EVER. Trucks epitomizes the inefficiencies of the American mindset and government. Block more of others' vision... I've never seen a full haul in the bed of a pickup... These fuckers drive around like it's fun to be in a three-ton behemoth and then proceed to bitch about gas prices. Cry more.

I still think you're so mis-guided and maybe brainwashed. I can't believe I'm getting into this again...but this fascinates me that so many people think like this. So maybe you can calm down and THINK and maybe debate this. 1. Why would you have to SEE someone driving with their bed full to believe that they ever use it more? 2. They block the roads? Do you just happen to live somewhere unique in America where the roads are more narrow than other places? We have so much room here with such wide roads that I can't understand how this is a big deal. Sometimes I get behind a truck that annoys me. But it doesn't cause me to stereotype all truck drivers and assume they don't use their truck for hauling. 3. As far as I know, everyone bitches about gas prices. I think the left in this country love high gas prices for a number of reasons. But this is another debate. 4. I don't understand the reference to America. Do you understand that there are A LOT of trucks in other countries? I have been all over the world. And Europeans in particular....LOVE trucks and are jealous that we have all the room we have to own them. If they could afford to drive them and dealerships were selling them, they would buy them like crazy. I just can't understand why you would sit there every day....and eventually come to the conclusion that trucks are the devil. Just please try to think about these things logically. Please don't sit there and let hatred and anger develop about such silly things. Trust me, you will be a much happier person. And don't do the knee-jerk response you posted above with cussing/etc. It really does make you look/sound stupid...

2. I never said they block roads. I said they block vision. I can brake earlier if I can see two cars ahead of me through the windshield of the person in front of me. With a tall truck or SUV, that's not possible. 3. I don't bitch about gas prices. It doesn't bother me at all. In fact, I hope it goes to $10 a gallon so people will pedal a fucking bike and I'll still fill up just fine. Or better yet... Learn to ride a motorcycle. I get more than 40 MPG on my ZX-6R 4. Let's not turn this into a pissing contest about how many countries we've been to. Most European countries tax their cars based on displacement. Most cars you'll see in any European country is less than 2.0 liters. You talk about affordability. EXACTLY... The government wants to make it prohibitive to drive a huge truck. The U.S. is psychologically light-years behind in forward thinking. We have the technology to be efficient but our mentality prevents us from being so. You want to talk Asia? Same deal. Displacement tax. Guess what? A Lambo owner has to pay a shit-ton extra to get plates and registration in Taiwan because the engine's over 5,999 ccs in size. China? They have so many cars they only allow either odd or even numbered plates on the road any given day. Ask them if they buy their trucks as a daily or as a status symbol? We trivialize the owning of trucks like it's matter-of-fact. To support trucks used as they are (AKA NOT HAULING) would be, in fact, the illogical thing. I can count the number of times I needed to use a hauler in my entire life with my two hands. Unless someone moves a lot or works in the construction / logistics-related industry, I see no legitimate reason. Let's not forget most trucks have bad handling compared to even a seriously-driven econo-box. Sure, a truck will probably demolish the competition in an accident but why get into one in the first place? I get the whole mentality of buying a shitty driver a huge truck to save himself. Not me.

Who says? Some people don't want to own 2 vehicles. If they use the utilities of a truck twice a year, that's enough to justify owning one. Hell, even if they never use it for hauling and they just like the feel of driving a truck, that's their prerogative. None of your business. Where do you draw the line? A 335i gets terrible gas mileage compared to some cars. Maybe we should ban any car that gets under 30 mpg?
