I don't know about where you live, but here cops and firefighters are WAY WAY overcompensated. They usually have the nicest house in the neighborhood. The police officers unions have been in cahoots with the politicians for years. A cop here can easily make $250k a year. |

It is the day of the truck. The truck wars between Dodge and Ford have escalated to levels never seen before. Each is fighting for top place and that is reflected in low (relatively) prices and options in trucks that 20 years ago would have had people laughing their ass off. Eventually the economy will change and the bottom will drop out of the truck sales. I hope that doesn't happen for a while though. The truck has not been the symbol of the working man for many years. The majority have become grocery getters that have never seen much more than a bag of avocados in the box. The higher they get raised the less likely they are ever used for work anyway.

How do you guys feel about lifted trucks?

Yeah I don’t think they make that much here. Even if they did I can’t see them owning a house that large on the water on a 250k salary. They are going between 800k-2m. |

How well does the Dodge tow with independent suspension? Does it not camber out when under load?

The Fords and the Dodges have the most wonderful brake rotors though. As if they were made by angels.

I have a relative that worked Miami Beach for his entire career. He easily made more working two nights at a club then he did during a month on the beat. Mind you, he worked his ass off, but the money was definitely there.

Trucks are still the symbol of the working man. They just go into debt to get the symbol. A well-but-not-fully-decked-out Ram 1500 goes for around 60k. The classic is cheaper, though. Quote:
