Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Why does it seem most Dodge p/u drivers....

They have not built a Dodge pickup since 1980? not that sharp.

Beats me. Had an old seafoam green sweptline for awhile. Sweet ride. Had a Dakota because new full size trucks are stupidly huge to house the suspension and safety junk. Not a good vehicle. Would not buy another new Dodge.


Never had a Prius though.

Driving 70 on the interstate and when I look in the mirror at the guy who is tail gating me and I most usually see a Dodge pickup grill in the rear view mirror. I guess the big Dodges cruise their best at 80 ?

Don't let it bother you. They can use the right lane to pass.

Sign says, slower traffic keep right. Negros and dick heads drive the speed limit in the passing lane.

I worked with a guy who had a big Dodge 4x4 with a diesel in it. Guy was a jerk. I had (and still have) a Ford Ranger one wheel drive with a 4 banger. When he complained about fuel prices, I would jerk his chain by agreeing and saying I put in $10 a paycheck whether the truck needed it or not.

He was also the guy who wanted to go pheasant hunting for the day and bring his 5th wheel camping trailer...seriously. What a pain in the butt that would have been and I told him as such.

A different coworker needed to move a weight set for his home gym. Arrogant Dodge guy wanted to show off and offered his truck. I said if they needed a real truck they could use mine. It got a good chuckle at his expense. After the laughter died down, I said the offer still stood. Everyone laughed harder. I think the guy had already set up delivery through the store.

I'd venture to say that it's the Ford P/U drivers that are the worst. Especially the ones in F250 or larger diesel trucks.

Yep, the concrete cowboys headed to the deer lease.

Gotta stop off at Buc-ee’s and stand in the diesel stains for 15 mins first...cause when you hunt over a feeder, it don’t matter.

Rams..

Bleck ones are worse.

And the duallies are worser.

And the bleck duallies are more worser.

Nope. They want you to know they gotta job to go to.

After a year off the lot they all have whiskey scabs.

I don't know why I read all four pages of this tripe but I did. The discussion would only be two pages long without the Chevy. commercials loading between every other post. Everybody has their own likes and dislikes. They'll go down defending what they have against any odds. All trucks and cars have their quirks. Chevy's have trouble getting headlights to work. Chevy and Dodge trucks have tone tweaked mufflers to make them sound throaty. Ford has that too on some models. Toyota has bad gas mileage but great motors. Now-a-days all of them have some quirk that someone else doesn't like.

The other day I went to walmart and parked in a handicapped space was a 56 Chevy. It was stock and I was taken aback at how small it was compared to all the other cars around it. I always thought they were bigger somehow back when I was in high school. It was much the same car I was riding in around town with three other classmates and we were throwing fireworks out of when that little incident happened and a shoebox full of firecrackers ignited and we all exited the car. It just rolled up in a yard and popped and smoked a while with us watching in amazement and the owner was pretty excited that his new seat covers were going up in smoke. Anyway cars and trucks have grown in size and complexity exponentially since the government took control of designing them.

Better enjoy them while you can because we'll all be back on horseback or on foot soon if it's up to our liberal leftist Marxist government.

Well, if you feel like 70 mph on the interstate is fast enough, you, like me, have no business being here.

Pretty fond of my 1/2T Ram so far........

I resemble that remark!!!

So true 😂

We like to annoy delicate snowflakes.

What kind of engine to get 29.2 mpg?

When I am in the passing lane you can bet I am not the slowest driver on the road. The passing lane is for passing and I can use it with the best of them. The second biggest offender is the Chevrolet's with the diesel engines. I have driven those doing my part time job and they are barely turning 1700 rpm at cruising speed. 1750 and they are going 80 mph. Apparently the Dodges are geared the same ? I have no issues with them tailgating the slow traffic in the passing lane. In fact, it seems to motivate the slow drivers back into the lanes they belong in. I don't have a problem passing on the right if it has to be done.
