Yeah, you keep that beastie so clean I can imagine you getting in the crannies with dental floss, so I really can't see you getting it all mucked up.

How much does that thing weigh anyway?

I don’t go that far. In fact, I’ve never hand washed it ONCE!

I believe it’s between 7-7100 lbs.

hand wash? I would have to wash it one day and dry it the next.

Yeah, lots of real estate on a full size 4-door truck. Ask me how I know lol...

I don't EVEN want to think about how long it would take to wax, or how much wax it would take it would be time to call the detailer when it was that dirty

Anytime you need a 6’ ladder to work on your vehicle it’s considered beefy lol

Found a powder coat color close enough to match the wheels.

Missed this post but I’m scheming on the tow hooks. Wife wants me to do Ranch Hand bumpers and powder coat them.

Honest opinion on this unit ? I had to cancel the order on my 450 as it had already been 11 months and would have to re order a 2023 .

It’s not a hot rod like the Ford or GM trucks but it’s solid. I don’t drive it super hard but she’ll go when prodded. Fit and finish is good. Rides like a truck but it’s honestly a great open road trip truck. 3/4 ton has the five link and coil rear suspension & the 1 ton and larger have leaves. Never downshifted once to climb steep hills on the interstate. 100% set the exhaust brake to always on and it helps haul the pig down. The infotainment system sometimes take a bit to re-sync but that’s pretty much my only gripe. The Alpine stereo rocks pretty damn good for what it is. Haven’t towed much but it was effortless with the 20’ trailer and my SN behind it. The transmission was kinda harsh at first but it has broken in nicely.

I’d buy another one but with the blind spot sensors. That’s my sole regret.

So long, partner!



You’ll be missed in a way but I’m glad you’re gone. Great truck but too much truck for my needs.

What's replacing it?
