    just talked to some guy at acadiana dodge.

    told him if he can find me a black/grey/orange sport '13 or '14 i'll come by and see it today.

    i LOVE when they say "what kinda note you looking for?"

    umm, im looking for the note that says "we found your black/grey/orange ram sport and we'd like you to come see it today" lol

    Find the truck you want then find the salesman you wanna deal with. They have some super shitty ones out there. If you find a truck let me know if you wanna drive his way (gonzales, La) and in sure Robert can take care of you.

    I had this same dilemma about a year ago and did a ton of research and entirely too much test driving. Out of all of the SUVs I drove, the GMC Terrain (SLE2) won by far. It rides smoother and has much better insulation which cuts out on road noise. That might sound like something silly...but it makes a huge difference and a much more pleasant drive.

    I get on around 23 MPG on average. It also works find for basic off road stuff. I have had mine in mud and such and it didn't get stuck. Now, this SUV is not made for mud riding...so I wouldn't recommend it.

    If you are in BR and want to see mine and how it looks after a year we could meet up for burgers or whatever!

    You drive a terrain? LOL, please drop your man card in the box on the way out.

    I'm my own man and I will NOT succumb to peer pressure.

    I WONT.

    I'm removing the terrain from my list for uh, other non-related issues that uh, have absolutely nothing to do with this assault on your manliness.

    I love my f150 4x4. Plan on going diesel (probably dodge) in a year or two though. I dont think you can really go wrong on any of the newer full size trucks, I would just suggest going with crew cab over extended

    Get a truck, duh.

    Now just go pick out the specifics and make it yours.

    I don't like glocks either. Does that affect my man card status?

    It redeems some from the Terrain whole thing. :mamoru: Just Joking. My wife drives one and I think it's a damn fine vehicle. Way better than that butt ugly Traverse she drove before.

    I'm a Chevy/GMC man myself. I still get excited when I climb in my truck. Fords would be my next option. I'd take a bicycle before a Dodge.
