150k is about how much you'll pay for a RAM here in Australia - and dickheads are still buying them.
Ah, the worst of the American trucks.
For that much money I could clean out an entire used truck lot, and have enough left over for another entire used truck lot, and I would have like 30 Dodge rams. So enough to make one last most of the rest of the year.
We call them Dodge Deweys (DUIs) because of that factoid that the Ram 2500 has the most drivers of any truck brand/model with a DUI under their belt.
Literally. Rams are horrible
I try so hard to convince myself it’s selection bias, but Ford Ranger drivers really do feel like the absolute worst fucking drivers on the roads in Australia. Like I don’t see a single one that doesn’t drive like an absolute fucking loser.
These American and American-style shitheaps are a fucking scourge
While there's probably some correlation, the Ranger is also the best selling car in Australia - so there's lots of them.
Recently I was in a friend's car and couldn't believe how badly he drove; too fast into corners then not managing to stay in his lane, limit breaking to every traffic light then stopping over the line, speeding, weaving, etc and he drives a Volvo! I figured that at least I'd probably be safe when he crashed.
