Low profile tires on giant wheels look stupid on a truck.

And are poor for any work off the pavement. I have a 2017 high country I use on the farm and have cracked a rim 4 times from potholes

A 1995 with a double din tablet in the dash was my favorite thing to drive.

Why?

Needed a key to get in. Key to start. Could still use waze to look for cops.

What? I got a 2020 with the 5.3 and rolling 170K miles. No issues at all still have original brakes. On 3rd set of tires. 2nd battery. Just got a tune up and fuel system cleaning at150K. Replaced my 6.4” screen (LOL) early on with no issues since. Tranny flush at 100K. About 3 air filters and one cabin filter. Truck has been really good to me.

Awesome man. I had that kind of service out of my 2004 tahoe that I traded in for this 2020 1500. It was a tank and I loved it. I like the new truck but I did hear some horror stories about the new 5.3. I replaced the tranny around 75K miles on mine. I use it for a daily driver and I tow my boat back and forth to the ramp, short distances, about 4 days a week. It is a 25 bay that is probably about 5K on the trailer or close.

I had to replace the front wheel bearing a couple months ago. And I had a bearning go bad on the idler pully early on that was warranty. Other than that, Its been solid. Same brakes, replaced tires at 50K, just normal service other than that.

Hell, no. My truck is an absolute beast.
What I really like about it is that it was manufactured or designed before the rule that made those trucks become so big.

I remember the Dodge ram was the first one. Compared to my truck it looked like an 18 wheeler. But my truck is my personal truck and it’s not a 18 wheeler. I use it when I need to haul something or just feel like driving it.

I really like not having to climb up into it. I can just turn around and sit down and then swing my legs inside.

It has a full-size bed as well.

So your post brings up the very point as to why I have not traded for a 2500 yet. Down here in Fla, they make the driveways tiny man.. Especially in these subdivisions. I drive the 1500 and my wife has a bronco and with both of them in the driveway side-by-side. It is very difficult to get in and out of the vehicles. A 2500 is just going to make that even more difficult because it is so much larger. So if I decide to go to a 2500, I'm probably going to end up having to buy my wife a smaller vehicle, which she would be OK with, to give us room in the driveway. Just a messed up situation.

Gotta make sure the passenger can watch YouTube through the truck rather than through the phone they’re doom scrolling on

My 2007 still kicking.

The squared off cateye front end just didn’t flow with the rounded body of the original 800, IMO.

It looks like a driveway conversion some baw did in his driveway. Never understood why they only changed the front clip.

If you are worried about width I wouldn’t think the 2500 is any wider than than the 1500.
