    How do you like it? We've been looking at the SRT for a while - same reasons. Want something fun but need a ute.
    So when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?

    My ole sled still hanging in there. Looks tiny with the Max behind it lol. I think my next truck will be the new F250 with the 7.3 gasser in it. I think that would pull the boat noooo problemo

    SRT has been tons of fun. Best option I could find that could do family duty, haul a boat and still be a hoot to drive. Bought mine new but you can get a nice deal on used one with a few years on it. I still get big grins using launch mode!

    The old ecoboost seems to do just fine pulling the Moomba. Never noticed a hunger for power. Little things got plenty of torque. I still have concerns about long term durability of a turbo engine vs the naturaly aspirated V8, but so far so good. Hasn't let me down. I wont worry bout it until start approaching 100k+ miles. I take good care of it and outside of hauling the boat, I do not drive it hard, so I expect it to last for my needs. Don't think I would get it if it was a truck used for work such as regular heavy loads/construction/landscaping business, and that sort of thing. Bur for the weekend warrior its more than adequate and I'm pretty happy with it.

    Our gen1 in our expeditions has 97,000 miles I think with about 10% of that pulling our 7,000 lbs Mojo and no issues really. We did have a water pump get replaced under warranty but that was it.

    Bought a new tow rig.... then got a slip

    Either way, needed bigger shoes (35"s). Really was just so impressed with the Ram after test driving the big three (sorry Tundra... too old... and coming from a Tacoma).

    Before (32" stockers)

    Y'all would have laughed... and cringed... hard when I was launching my 7k lb boat/trailer combo with my 2006 non-tow-packaged 4 pinned (no brake control) Tacoma 2wd a couple times a week last year. Waaaay over the limits (Don't worry, used the wife's escalade for anything over those 200 yards .... braking with the tacoma even under 5 mph was legit scary, especially on tar chip). Granted I was going all of 200 yards from storage to dock. Learned how to force that open diff to transfer torque quite well. Only problem, it always had to be me... hard to teach a buddy on the fly. Ram pulls it great to the dealer when rarely needed, kind of sad I do not tow that often as the surround cameras are fantastic on new trucks.
