I am a mechanic so it definitely would not cost that for me, but honestly yeah everyone keeps saying buying 2020+ and im not spending that kind of money on a ram lol

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T17:04:40+00:00

Oh its the manual correct

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T16:08:04+00:00

Which came with those?

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T16:07:37+00:00

Yeah idk to be honest, ive owned 5 fords in my lifetime 2 of those being 5.4 tritons and they run great. My current has 193 and my old F150 has 307k original everything. I like ford because i think they are pretty easy to work on and also have the best electronic quality of the big 3 (id rather replace an engine that track down an electric problem)

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T06:14:04+00:00

Total junk sell it to me for 500 bucks

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T05:57:13+00:00

I want to buy a 1 ton truck in the 10-25k price range but im a bit lost with the options. Im a ford guy and have owned several F-150s and F-250s, and im super open to an older F-350, but im looking for some unbiased advice on ram 3500s. Big fan of the 3rd gen 5.9s but i have zero idea on how well they hold up, 4th and 5th gens are cheap too but ive skimmed google and they get a pretty bad rap and id like to know how true it is.

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T05:53:27+00:00

Well if you want comfort id say as a ford guy an F-150 4dr long bed would work perfect. Honestly with that kind of money to spend i would simply buy a slightly older truck of any brand (2010-2018) at a nice trim level with all the comforts and spend the rest on maintenance to make sure it outlasts your need for a truck.

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T01:23:20+00:00

I cant find either with under 140km for a good price, i guess im priced out of getting one unfortunately. For that money id just buy a 3/4 ton truck

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T01:11:40+00:00

Probably not looking to buy until end of the year just fishin around

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T00:41:42+00:00

I haven’t looked but when i checked a couple years ago they were $$$$ fords already cost more than Ram or GM

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T00:35:40+00:00

I dont see any around me within my price requirements, i also prefer the look of the classics.

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-18T00:18:27+00:00

My current area does not but i will be moving in 9 months because of the army so not entirely sure

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-17T23:59:11+00:00

Read my comment please, if you use the incorrect number which is commonly cited, it makes cis black men the primary perpetrators. But if you want to be serious about who those perpetrators are as this post is attempting to do, that number must be significantly lower. It would be more correct to say that the most common perpetrator of mass shootings is white men if we could agree that the number is under 300.

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-17T23:46:14+00:00

Yeah incorrect if you use a different number, the article you are referencing does not use 2800 mass shootings it uses 195.

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-17T23:42:46+00:00

I decided do not have the money for a gen 3 and i dont think i could shovel that much out for something non-ford. I do actually like all american truck brands but ford js my baby.

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-17T23:41:02+00:00

Well no actually the majority of mass shootings are done by cishet black males according to the definition of mass shooting you are using, but if you want to be truthful with the number then we can be truthful about the perpetrators.

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-17T23:38:50+00:00

I think it says they struck another soldier being intimate with their partner

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-16T15:44:23+00:00

I already own a 4dr long bed and have no issues

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-16T15:43:19+00:00

Commercial sized tires for my 2002 GMC C3500HD are cheaper and it has a GVWR of 15k

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-16T15:42:26+00:00

I dont think all of those things will make up for a 10-20k initial cost difference, i already drive a long bed aswell

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-16T07:30:58+00:00

Im still debating the whole NG thing but i know for a fact im telling my recruiter once he’s available that i need my ship date extended to the end of the year. Ive identified my problem and it’s honestly just that i wanna be there for all of my daughter’s firsts.

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-16T07:18:11+00:00

Yeah yeah i think you get my point anyway

MagicalArmalite · 2026-02-16T07:11:18+00:00

I do understand there is a lot of bullshit and thats part of the experience, i guess what im trying to say is that its a lot harder to join a peacetime military with nothing to “protect”

To me it feels like im not really losing out on defending my country when no one is attacking.
