Keep posting the truck picks. I'm thinking about replacing my tow vehicle, currently a Suburban. Anyone regret buying a pick up? If so, why? Thanks. - Deerfield

Pickup? Ha ha. Maybe some day.

Old school... Definitely regret not having got a crew cab.

I miss my Expedition and will have another one in my future. Suburbans, Escalades, etc. always felt like driving a big long skinny tube with crappy turn radius and visibility compared to my Expedition.

As our 3 are getting bigger, having them ride side-by-side is becoming more difficult on the 2hr ride to the lake. It sometimes becomes the "he/she is on my side" battle that we don't endure when in hte SUV.

The debate my wife & I are having is about what we would have instead as we use the truck all the time for runs to Lowe's for lumber/plants/dirt, carrying gas to the lake, etc. I know you can rent one when needed, but that seems like it would grow old, real quick.

I stand corrected. Thanks Trayson. I knew I didn't have much to work with and it was an after thought to use the Jeep to tow only to find the dismal towing capacity..

Wish me luck, Just sold my 2013 RAM 2500 Diesel and am picking up a 2015 RAM 1500 Hemi. I wanted to go with the new EcoDiesel but it just does not have the towing power needed with it's small 3.0L engine. I know I will not be able to pull the boat up hill doing 80, however am hopeful to still get decent MPG and a decent towing experience. Anyone tow with a Hemi and have insights? Will post pics soon.

We have a 2012 RAM Crew Cab Hemi and tow an Outback w/ tandem axle trailer. Average mpg ranges between 15 (w/ trailer and boat or stop/go city driving) and 23 (highway w/no load). We live at sea level. Pretty much all level driving. Recent addition to the truck is a TruXedo tonneau bed cover. Well worth the money. We enjoy our RAM. Lots of room and comfortable ride.
