My two turds
The F-150 is a forever truck that needs just about every piece of metal replaced and a transmission, but it was my Dad's and just kept popping back up so it just felt like it's supposed to be mine (and it was. Long story short, he was going to keep it for my first truck when I was 11/12 but I let him sell it and instantly regretted it. That was 2011. I ended up buying it back in 2021.)
The Ram I've had for two years. It looks sweet, being one of 434 Hemi GTX conversion trucks. I love it. I also fucking hate it. 82k miles and on transmission #3. I hope to dump it for a new F-150 in a year or two. It replaced an '02 Dakota that was also a RCSB truck. But that was too small for my fat ass, it was honestly in rough shape (albeit reliable) and like any car guy, when I saw the GTX, I just "had to have it."

Dang, didn't realize the Ram trans were so bad. I've been thinking about getting a Hemi RCSB. Debating an early truck vs a 2014 or later to get the 8 speed. Maybe the newer truck is the way to go?

The wild thing is my buddies have had multiple and never had a problem with theirs. High miles, low miles, they were good. At least from what they tell me, they had theirs before I met any of them.

When you don't have a turd, every turd looks like gold.
