First a Ford, then a Dodge. When will you learn?

Seriously, that's a nice truck. Thanks for the cell text with pics, too; Mrs. Weldangrind is quite envious.

so I went and traded up the 2012 to a 2016 Dodge sportsman 1500 crew cab with the eco diesel 6 banger after a year of owning the 2012 because I got a really good deal with our company program that is set up with Chrysler.



i added the mopar running boards for $300 off of CL and made the dealer give me back the $$ for them to do a headache rack for me and went to a cap it dealer and bought it and had them install it for around $250 cheaper and it only took 1 hr to do the deal and install not the 6 weeks the dealership wanted me to wait




and as you can see the Grizz 660 fits in there .....sort of



so far pretty happy with it ....proved itself on a big trip to Red Deer Alberta. stopped along the way (600 km) and had only used 1/2 a tank.
another time had my 900lb grizz in the back of the truck and 3 cr atvs on the trailer and it hauled all that with no problems at all.

I got to see this one up close, and it's a really sharp rig.
