That odd day that happens once every 3 years where it rains and freezes or some other freak storm..........NO ONE should be out on the highway. Keep the damn roads clear for Emergency and Maintenance vehicles to do their jobs. It most cases all you have to do is wait a few hours.

I'm one hell of a Driver but just because I have some 90 thousand dollar Goon Wagon that doesn't give Me a right to be out on the road that day.

None of my points in this thread are directed at you Rhino, I should have mentioned that right from the start.

Considering the advanced age of many members here, it is no wonder that few here can appreciate a 2 door sporty truck. This trend started 30-35 years ago and is still going. Not everyone needs a minivan-truck hybrid.

I had over a dozen of the original sporty 2wd trucks, Lil Red's and Warlocks! I loved each one, and drove a Lil Red daily from 1988-1990, sure wish I hadn't sold them all off...

The guys that scoff at a lowered 2 wheel drive truck are sometimes the same dorks that have a 4 door truck with a 5 foot bed in it.
Idiots.
My 2007 can fit a 6 foot ladder and all my tools for construction. I don't carpool, I don't haul kids around and a 4 door truck isn't going to fit a regular garage.
I don't need 4 wheel drive for any construction site that I have worked. I don't live on a dirt road. It does not snow here.
I've hauled engines, transmissions, body panels, scrap metal, firewood, construction supplies and concrete in this truck. Those that dismiss a 2wd truck are obviously ignorant and slow to understand.

It is all about what suits your needs. Me I have to have a 4wd. No ifs and or buts. I also got the ram box which after having I will buy another with it.

As usual, you misunderstand/misinterpret. That is NOT at all what I have said.

There are thousands (yes thousands) of square miles of wilderness where I live in Central Washington. 4 wheel drive with lockers (Jeep Rubicon) baby! I would not buy a 2 wheel drive pickup here. Two weeks ago I was wheelin and winchin in OVER two feet deep snow.
I don’t live in pussy California.

The misunderstanding started with you. I made the point that limited slips aren't all that and a bag of chips in some situations. Then you went on about Rustangs and whatever so make of that whatever you wish. I really don't care.

The black truck with what appears to be a grand cherokee srt front end looks fantastic, I would rock one of those as a daily, but as I stated before, where I have to go on some jobs, 2wd just will not cut it.

Funny how a thread on the only truck inventory at a dealer being a top of the line factory Hot Rod truck degrades to a bunch of my way or the highway chest thumping arguments!
I had a ‘95 Ram 1500 day cab 6’ bed 4x4 for a long time and it mostly served me well. Shortly after buying it, I was in a meeting room at work and a toxic coworker, whose last name was Bell so we all called him Tinkerbell behind his back, made a comment to someone else in the room that 4WD was the biggest waste of money in the world.
I’m sure it was a passive aggressive cut at me from that insecure loser, since I’d just got a nice truck. So I ignored it rather than take the bait.
But I thought about it later, and he was right, 99% of the time, the other 1% of the time 4WD is priceless. I had a 30 mile drive to work, and getting there or home on some days when we had big snowstorms would have been impossible. I also had a car, but it was rwd. It was not any good for driving in bad snow.
I had issues with the day cab. Not enough room for bags or luggage or much in the way of groceries behind the seat. Stuff I didn’t want to put in the bed even though I had a tonneau cover, so it had to go on the passenger seat or floor. I often wished I had the extended cab on my 1500. I had thoughts of towing a car trailer but the short WB and 1/2 ton rating made it sketchy for that.
Now I’m getting another truck. 3/4 ton this time for towing. 4WD for me due to the weather here, and an experience being with a friend with a 4x2 towing a car trailer, spinning tires on the hill we were parking the rig on at a car show and almost getting stuck. Not to mention resale value as 4WD is pretty much an expectation now on trucks whether people really need it or not! For some reason extended cabs were discontinued a while back, day cab didn’t work out all the time for me with my last truck, so crew cab it is, even if no one ever sits in back. I would have got extended cab if still offered. I need the secure climate controlled inside storage space.
I’m also getting Ram boxes, not available with 8’ beds. I sometimes carry boom sticks to the range, and concerned about transporting them legally when I don’t have a trunk to put them in. The Ram box seems perfect for that, they lock for security and might save me a visit to the lockup! They will also be good for tools and other odds and ends I won’t have to listen to sliding around in the bed.
So I’ve done my homework and considered my needs based on previous experience. I don’t need another “tinkerbell” telling me something is wrong with my choice if it doesn’t meet their standards. Your results may vary!

I currently have 3 trucks and my favorite is actually my 93 2wd dakota, best work truck I have because I can get stuff in and out of the bed without climing up in it and with herniated discs in my back it is very important. It is also much easier to get in to drive than my 2011 1/2 ton 4door 4wd witch I hate the 5 foot bed, the dakota bed is more usefull. I even use the dakota on the dirt roads 40 miles in with no snow plowing ever for hunting on all but the worst days, in that case I use my 04 dakota 4wd 5 speed. I also use the 1/2 ton for towing stuff most everyone thinks they need a 3/4 ton diesel for. It is just hard to find a 2wd around here or else I would only own the 1 4wd for the absolute worst days. All my trucks have a purpose and all get worked very hard when they are doing that specific job. For what it's worth I spent 20 years in Texas and Tennessee before moving back here and NEVER needed a 4wd down there, even on the worst days I always got around just fine.

Exactly, why people think that what works for them should work for everyone else I will never understand.

You and jcc have one thing in common for sure. And it's saying 'I don't care' while responding to a post.

And rustangs is not a proper name, so no need to capitalize. You're welcome.

Very true .. what works for some people doesn’t always work for someone else. My 08 is a quad cab and I rarely used the rear seat .. I think someone sat back there less than a dozen times in the 13 years I have owned it. I can understand the bigger is better thought , I thought about a 2500 quad cab and even a regular cab 8 ft bed imo just too big for my needs and I just dont like the looks of the regular cab / 8 ft bed . I have towed my 20 ft enclosed trailer with my 2WD regular cab short bed 92 D150, a 2002 4.7 3.92 rear Durango and my 08 H.Q.C. All towed well with no problems . My new truck isn’t going to be my daily driver mainly only used for towing , my trailer is only 20 ft with my 3,000 lb Dart I m confident the way I equipped my truck it will be fine. I just really like the regular cab / short bed trucks and the way they look as this will be my third ( I still have my 92) I Am very impressed by the room in the cab and am psyched to get it. Sure a big 2500 would be the ultimate but with the size and cost my 1500 will be fine for my needs. My Honda HRV AWD is my daily driver and is good in the snow I got my new truck in 4WD because even under heavy snow accumulation we have to get out my wife's Acura RDX AWD is also good but we like having the option of using the 4x4 truck if need be. My 92 D150 is 2WD it also has Won trophies at Shows as well as having many round wins as well as over 10 Eliminator Wins as my back up race vehicle. 4WD vs 2WD they both have their purpose based on the owners needs.

Good point.
Making fun of a 2wd truck makes it seem like you're not tough enough if you don't have 4wd. I DO have 4 wheel drive.... in another truck. Besides, if it is reasonable to call someone gay for driving a 2wd truck, is it also reasonable to call the 4wd truck guys tobacco chewin, moonshine sippin, sister banging toothless rednecks?
No, it isn't reasonable to assume either of those things.

Where I live....2wd pickups are gay. Deal with it. LOL...damn, people...lighten up!

I use a truck as a truck, why the he11 would anyone lower and bag a perfectly good pick-em-up truck? If you want that just buy a freakin' car...

Jeez Jim, what did you start?

Which Jim are you referring to?

Day - ummmmm ... ruff crowd here

But this from Square Lake ? ... who WEARS OUT Ram trucks by the dozens ?

A neat looking 2 wd .... attractively slammed !

And to Pac from Washington.....

Isn’t EVERYTHING there gay ?
