New England B.S. Thread

Max towing capacity is just over 8,000 lbs.

Not too worried as the heaviest thing I see myself towing is my camper which is well under that limit. I definitely lost a little capacity compared to the Ford, but I do not see myself ever getting to that limit.

 

I am going to eventually look for a used either full size or an SUV that will be rated for 8k or more. I'll use it as a daily and start to treat the taco right lol.

 

You can spec a gas powered Ram 1500 to tow over 10k if you want. I really liked the Ram 1500, it drove nicer than any of the trucks I drove but the deals on the GMC's were just insane. $14k off my '17 Sierra.

 

Yeah I went with the more conservative numbers I found on towing capacity. If I ever get close to towing 5 tons, you all better watch out.

 

A ram to tow over 10k.......hmmm I'm really not a fan of DFC but I may have to be depending on the deals I can get when I start searching lol

 

They have been running good deals on gmcs right now

 

One thing I couldn't really get my head around on the Ram was the dial for the gear select. Like going from drive to reverse... it was awkward! I'm sure I'd get used to it, but man I am happy to have a real shift lever, gotta say

 

That's on all the new Chrysler's. I hate it, I actually wrote a review on the fiat about it. I kept getting that and the volume and the fan speed confused

 

At least you weren't accidentally putting the car in reverse or park haha. Saw a thread on here the other day where a guy put his truck in 4Hi when he was going to turn up the heat.

 

Yeah, I am really not a fan. It's funny, here at work my boss and I bought trucks about 2 weeks apart. He bought a Ram 1500 and his only complaint is that dial. I say I would get used to it, but he says he's not getting used to it. Nice truck, he got all leather and it's loaded, it's gorgeous inside but I can't get over that stupid dial.

 

This woman had her Lexus stuck in the middle of the road a while back. I think she was trying to go from reverse to drive, but ended up going into 4hi and couldn’t get the car back into drive? I don’t know what she did but I jammed it into 2wd for her so she could move

 

There is a reason you can buy them cheaper than the others

 

My father in laws 12 Denali needed a lot of work recently. Including a new exhaust manifold among other parts. He asked what did we do when we took it to Florida lol

 

What would that reason be? Just curious as I don't want to speculate.

 

You guys think I'm just bias and hate Dodge / Chrysler products or something but I am serious. I sell this shit all the time. Just had to look up a hood for a 2008-2014 Dodge Avenger. Look at what I had to choose from. Read the descriptions. They are all junk. All rusting plus they are not cheap

 

If you look at the shot above I only included about 10 vehicles and 4 of them have rust or corrosion in its description. For comparison here is a shot with a lot more Camry hoods

 

It all depends on how far upstate into NY you are. If you're looking at VT, then yes it counts.

It's like being called a native out on the Cape. Unless ancestors stepped off the Mayflower then it doesn't count. Out there to be a native, your last name must be Nickerson...

 

I can see Hancock MA from my house haha but Bennington VT is like 35 mins away

 

Why do you care that she cares?

 

I'm tired of it being the hot topic with all of our mutual friends
