What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there’s a decal that reads “Apocalypse 6x6.”

      Beneath this atrocity is a Ram 1500.

      So this truck will last 3 to 4 years tops, probably significantly less so after all the aftermarket work done to it.

          Older rams had a trans that would absolutely break or grenade itself. New rams, as much as their engine and electronics still suck ass, have a ZF Transmission and it’s REALLY good. Dead reliable and holds power.

              Happy to help! If you ever want to be irrationally angry at either the worlds dumbest engineer, or finance people somehow having a say in design; go look up oil changes on Ram trucks. They’re hilariously awful. Filters are placed facing down over things like steering gear boxes or right over the front differential. So it just gets over everything. In the case of the 2500 you have to go through the front bumper on the power wagons to get the oil filter out.

              But their trans are solid. It’s also the only good part in Rams, BMWs and Audi. A real miracle.

        Jesus not even a 3500? Basically always towing its limit carrying the added weight of all that bullshit.
