Ever thought of moving out of a flood zone?

Air ride is awesome. Also it rides better.

Just because it's true doesn't mean you have to say it. Ouch!

That's because Rams since at least 2009 have had independent suspension, not primitive solid axles.

Trucks are invisible to police. How many times have you seen a truck pulled over vs a Civic? They sell a hell of a lot more trucks, and I'd say they're a small fraction of the vehicles I see pulled over. Especially white trucks that look like work trucks. I've driven five different cars past CHP blocking our canyon entrance, and they are always stern and asking for an ID. I pull up in the truck, and the CHP are all smiles. "Go ahead!" A big truck is working class white ID.
