Woah, awesome truck. I hate you.
This thing makes my Ram look small.
Anyway, what do you plan on doing with it? Just something to have around?
I can't even afford to drive mine any more. It just sits in the yard.

Dude I'm sure you can relate... You GOTTA have a truck if you have a house... I'm just a little late to the game is all. Its def a HUGE truck, but fuck it I like the Super Duty's way better than the 150s and plus now I can tow around the next project car

Its prolly gonna make me wish i had a ram though, i think it gets like 12-14 tops ahahah!

Yeah I love it. I'd like to get an exhaust, intake and programmer. That'd really wake up the truck. I might need it once I put the 35's on.

I would REALLY like to have some sort of truck, but with a baby on the way, it would at least have to be a crew cab and then that starts to get pricey. I do really like the Avalanche though. Plenty of room for passengers when you need it and it can also convert into a full pickup with an 8 foot bed.

If you are not much or handy man or have no desire to fix things up or even upgrade stuff yourself than a truck would be a waste.

I dunno what I would do without my truck.

ya, Crew cabs are $$$$

Ha, trust me, I am as much of a handy man as the next guy, if not moreso. I do a ton of stuff around the house and I love taking on projects when the funds allow. My most recent project was re-doing my bathroom floor. Next project is to re-do my roof. I have replaced windows myself and lots of other stuff as well. I even troubleshot and fixed my boiler.

then you'll appreciated the first time you toss in a bunch of rocks or mulch into the bed without second guessing it. Something I wouldn't do to an SUV

There have already been a few times where I really wanted a truck. Over this past summer/fall, I got down 3 or 4 50-60 foot tall trees. Getting rid of the wood was a PAIN. I have a friend who took most of it since he has a fireplace, but loading it in the Bravada was a pain. (It was cool seeing the air load-leveling suspension work though)

Another project that I want to do is some landscaping around the house, which would require a lot of mulch, but I have held off on that since I would have to have a buddy help out with his truck to go get a bed-full of mulch.
