do you like trucks?

[whitca]

Ram mega cabs are spacy. I'm 6'2 and require more leg room too and I have tons of room in my 08 mega. Plus with the seat all the way back there's still a ton of room for passengers in the back seat. If you don't require a long box definitely take one for a test drive. I wish mine had a long box (there are some companies that will cut the frame to add it) but damn that would be a lot of truck.

What about tundras?

do you like decent mileage? unless they have gotten a lot better 12 was about all they could get towing or not.

This thread makes me miss my trucks... I'm in the market for a nice Southern K5, so hopefully I'll have a new one this summer!

You don't get a truck for gas mileage, but I get your point. Every little bit helps. I'm getting 12 city and averaged a little over 15 on the highway for 250 miles in one shot. That's in 10 degrees or lower temperatures tho. Probably was a little lower then 12 city cuz it's been so cold I've gotta warm up my truck for a few minutes in the morning.

i agree im not after 45mpg, but the z71 i drove to daytona heavily loaded down still got 17 average
and i get 18-20 avg in my f250 4wd. i consider that very good for what they are.

 

[Roseand]

Yes that's very good. Your f250 is gas?

yes gas 351 5 speed. if it was an auto it would probably be closer to 12 lol
also depends on how its driven. i drive like an old man.

i got 18 on the highway/driving around in daytona all week/city with the ski on the hitch hauler (slight drag) in my cummins. highway speeds of 80-85mph. if i did 65mph, it probably would have been 20-21. tundras are great trucks mcdog, but as stated, dont look for anythign over 13mpg

First two are of my 08' 1500 Ram. Second pic was the day I sold it. Had it leveled on 305/55/R20's with a superchips tuner and exhuast.

Sold that last year to get out of a payment and save money. While the little truck is enough most of the time, I hate it when it's not. I drive a beater car to work ~18,000 miles a year and the truck gets maybe 5,000 at best per year. I've been thinking supercrew ford diesel for the next truck. Hopefully in a year or so I can get back into a fullsize again.

The most recent truck is an 04 dakota with the 4.7 v8. Feels really underpowered after leaving the hemi but it does the job. 3 inch AAL in rear and front torsion bars jacked 1.5. Riding on 265/75/R16 Goodyear Wrangler Duratrac's. Gas mileage is only around 16 highway loaded so it really doesn't do much better than the gas fullsize trucks.

who said megacab longbed? this isnt it in the picture but a guy here in georgia built the transmission for a 1300hp 2200ft/lb megaca long bed that did 12's in a quarter mile... thats about a 9k lb truck doin 12's

 

[BruceSki]

Those NFAB steps don't even fit that thing at all!!! haha

 

[ProSouth]

[BruceSki]

That was me. That 1/4 time is nuts...just a drag truck but still crazy none the less. After I bought my cummins I poked around on the web looking at the conversions guys were doing with the long mega's...it would be sooo sweet to have all that room but I can only imagine a bitch in traffic and trying to park.

Jeez...that's awesome.

dude was beyond loaded. triple turbos, the works. went through 3 engines before the Garmon Transmission went out supposedly

 

[whitca]

Man I guess...that sounds ridiculous. Can't imagine having the equivalent of my mortgage in my daily driver.
