this was an absolute blast guys! thanks a ton for having me out! you've done an amazing job building that test track! oh and the end was hilarious!

That's a great truck you have! It sounds amazing, and it was really impressive watching you drive. I noticed the first time you got stuck, you didn't spin tires, when you lost momentum and it got sketchy, you had the good sense to call it and pull cable. That's a great lesson, I hope a lot of other people pick up on that.

You talked about some issues with your RAM...I think this hilites a belief i have of NEVER buying an all new version of anything. I learned my lesson in 1988 when GMC redesigned their K series trucks. Now it is the Tundra. I am a Toyota guy but even Toyota has had some teething issues with the new Tundra. I contrast that with my 20 TUNDRA TRD OR and have had only 2 minor issues...a bad battery and a cracked windshield. The Tundra being in production for well over a decade was nearly problem free. I found it interesting about the rotary dial gear selector and you feeling it is stupid...again look at the New Tundra...NO TOW HOOKS...LIKE WTF. I would take a dial gear selector if it meant having tow hooks 🪝. BTW...your power wagon is no slouch.

Relatively speaking, the mileage of this truck is actually pretty good. A Tacoma on 35s is getting in the 13 to 15 MPG range, and when I was a kid I had a regular cab short bed Chevy squarebody with a 350 that only managed to get 8mpg. Considering the size, power, and capability of this truck, 13-15 is actually quite good.

I have been driving a 2015 Kia Optima getting 24-28 mpg, I have been researching the F Lineup, Bronco, Denali, Silverado, and the Jeeps. I have literally researched everything and have decided if I am going to give up my gas mileage, I am definitely going with the Power Wagon. The only ONLY downside is that I am a contracted delivery driver and at 11-13 city mpg (holy cow)... oh, well. Guess I better get a side gig pulling cars out of ditches during the winter months.
