    Hmm, I have never bought a new vehicle before but that could push me to buying a new one.

    I recall seeing a bunch of Medved vehicles at the Castle Rock Outlet Mall.

    That’s why Ram’s lose 35% of their value the minute you drive them off the lot. Horrible resale on them.

    Trucks have the largest profit margin for the big three.... at even 16k off they are still making a profit

    Ram will make their profit, im talking about the bath the consumer will take when he tries to trade it in. Ram has the worst resale value of the big 3.

    I had a 2014 Ram 1500 as my last truck. I loved the hemi/8spd combo and the space but that’s about the extent of my liking of the Ram brand.

    Don’t worry guys I’m not in the market for a new truck. I just checked the price on it cause it was there and some guys were talking about the ecodiesel in here recently.

    Well my cousins 15 has a reverse camera that it too blurry to be useful, headlights flicker sometimes, a new exhaust leak that may or may not be the cause of it randomly sputtering when you start it up and sometimes stalling out. Oh and the trailer harness doesn't send signal for one of the brake lights. :rofl:

    Good stuff.

    And if the big 3 would price their trucks appropriately to begin with the resale wouldn't suck so much. Don't price your trucks at 50k and then discount all of them to 35k.

    I won’t get into all the issues but the straw that broke the camels back was the fuel pump crapping out at 37000 miles, 1k our of bumper to bumper warranty. I fixed it out of pocket and traded it in on the Tacoma the same week.

    The other guess I had was the fact that it would be easier to finance since according to the numbers you already have equity. Any way, it's stupid.

    Calling all you yard folk....

    Any experience in transplanting aspen trees?

    They'll be transported all of 10 miles, similar soil makeup to my bare ass lot. I can dig up any size/quantity that i feel like moving. Main issue is bracing it from wind while they get their roots growing.. if they even do.

    I’m sure they will do fine as long as you water them. The only thing I’m unsure of is that an entire forest of aspen trees can be a single organism. Not sure how you lop a chunk of them off?

    my neighbor had some planted next to mine a couple years back and they are doing fine. Just make sure they get lots of water in the beginning. And tie them down so the wind doesn't knock them over.
