That's a cool truck!

I got a new truck too. I was looking and looking and really wanted a new 2024 Colorado but they are in high demand and pushing 50k for the ZR2 now. Was thinking about a Mavrick but it too is impossible to find a deal on a used one and they don't have a good tow rating. Was close to getting a loaded up Santa Cruz for almost $40k but then found a really loaded 2020 Ram (originally $64k and packing another $10k in aftermarket) with a new dealer installed motor for $31k. It has a 3" lift and 34" tires so it sucks the gas. I still have the Sonata Hybrid and have about given up on an ev at this point. I traded in the teardrop for a 20' Jayco too so I needed at least 5000 pounds of tow rating.

Oh, and I'm getting married in August. Tired of just doing what I want, when I want all the time LOL.

Life is good!


I have since put air bags on the back and a WDH on the hitch to get rid of thar sag when towing. It gets about 11.5 at 65 MPG towing so not terrible but not as good as the teardrop obviously.
