Out on the roads, I have to say that the way people drive is crazy. Slow cars and dangerous trucks. I have concluded that if I can't beat em, I may as well join em.

So I've decided to buy a truck as it gives me two things

1) Intimidate the slow drivers
2) Keep those trucks off of my butt

Any recommendations? I'm looking for intimidation factor, fuel economy and good highway comfort.
 
2000 Dodge Ram 2500 with Cummins diesel.

Massive lift to get that grille up in their face.
Smokestacks with rich running tune to black out their view when you pass them.
Trucknutz to show em you got ballz with dodge logo trailer hitch cover.

and other redneck mods.

"When you can't dodge em, ram em!" sticker on back window.
 
After getting my truck the best thing is your view. Your higher up and can see the surroundings better. It depends on how much youre wanting to spend. I love my new F-150 with the ecoboost. Tons of power and the potential of great fuel economy as long as you keep it 70mph or lower. The 5.0 has great power too and good mpg. Great ride and comfort as well. You can't go wrong with a Chevy with a 5.3 or a ram with the 5.7 either. Dodge had the best ride when I test drove but the interior felt cheap and the same with the Chevy. It does take a bit to get use to the big size of truck and people definitely have a little bit more respect for you on the road. If your not needing a lot of power the new 3.7l in the F150 is a screamer and gets great hwy mpg. In all best ride was the Ram, best interiors and comfort was the ford, best mpg will be driver dependent but ford has the highest EPA ratings.

Good luck on your search.

G wagon, AMG'd.

Or a cocaine white Range Rover for that South American drug lord look.

Dark tints and slap an NRA sticker and the logo of your favorite gun manufacture on the back.
 
I vote Duel Semi or A 35 series Diesel with a Nice tune and a straight pipe. I have one and it's GREAT for blowing smoke on tailgaters..HHHAAAHHHAAA

I guess brinks trucks always get cut up for scrap? I've never seen one that wasn't in active duty. One of those bigasstrux with detroit diesel screaming away would get lots of space as well.

It's bigger than everything except commercial trucks. I find them pretty comfortable on the highway.

Road & Track got 28 MPG out of a 6.7 diesel...

This seems to fit the bill. Now if I can get it to blow out black diesel on demand after "undertaking" one of those slow cars ...........
 
I think the Dodge looks the best. The new 2500 cummins looks mean. I think the Ford looks cheap. I like the chevy but it doesn't have that I'm going to run you over and then pull my shotgun as I blow black smoke everywhere look

Man does that bring back memories! I plowed snow with one when I was stationed in the mountains of Turkey.
