Well some will say I have gone over to the dark side but I am now the proud owner of a 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 Outdoorsman 5.7 hemi 4x4 3.92 rear end. Yes it is a bit of a change from the Avalanche but I was looking for a Ford with max tow and couldn't find one. When this dealer made me an offer on the Avalanche I couldn't refuse I became a Dodge owner. If I can't camp right now I wan't to be ready for when I can and this has given me a bit of a pickup for now. I will post pictures as soon as I get some taken if anyone is interested "IF YOU CAN'T DODGE IT RAM IT" Old Guys

Dont knock the Dodge to soon.When you feel that Hemi Power you might get a smile.I had a Hemi and now own a Chevy with a 6.0 and i am 100% certain the Hemi would out pull this 6.0 hands down.Gas mileage sucks about the same but this 6.0 is a slugomatic with the 6 speed trans.And im not sure what you was looking at for a motor in the Ford but if it was gonna have the 5.4 Triton you would have been a very sad man.

Hi there Mr. Bob. Boy i had forgotten about good old Nigel having a Dodge. Now how can anyone ever forget those good ol blokes. I have had the Dodge for about 2 weeks and have to say I am quite pleased with it so far. I am actually getting better mileage than I did with the Av. I hooked up the trailer to realign the hitch so I took if for a short ride into the countryside around here and appear to be getting as good and possibly even a bit better mileage under a load. It has a five speed with tow haul that seems to do the job quite well. Only time will tell but like the man said maybe I deserved a Dodge. By the way I was looking at the Ford 5.4 and I am quite surprised by the number of Ford owners that mention it was probably better that I avoided it so who knows. I don't want to knock anybody so lets just hope it works out or I may have to move to Portugal with Nigel. Old Guys P.S. Wait till George finds out.
