Hello, my name is Jaden and I'm a truck research addict. LOL
Grew up in Iowa on a farm. I lean towards the Dodge/RAM brands as I've grown up around them and have had overall good experiences. My father has an 01 and 06 2500 Cummins, my brother has a 07 Ram 1500 Hemi.
My first truck was a 2001 Dakota 4.7L with a 5speed. Great truck with IMO great power to weight for offroading, which for me is driving in farm fields. I upgraded tires to 33" Cooper Discoverer STMaxx. I now have a 2004 Ram Hemi and I love it, but hate the gas mileage. I'll soon be upgrading to 33" Cooper Discoverer AT3 tires over the stock Goodyears.
Anyway, I use my truck as a daily driver. In spring and fall I find myself in corn fields occasionally, so ground clearance and protection is important. Corn stalks can do more damage than people think. I do not do long haul towing but will do some heavy (approaching 10k) towing when I have to.
I'm considering an Ecodiesel (I'm on that forum as well), Rebel, or Outdoorsman model as my next truck, and am waiting for the right one.
Excited to see how people get along with their Rebels and what modifications they do. I'm not crazy about the "mustache" grille, but other than that I like the truck.
