Default New Ride

Well at least 2 us Lol......

I have been driving my 8.1 2500HD truck for the last few years.
I bought it to pull the trailer around with the mini X and the skid steer but when the building market dropped out we had to sell all the equipment to pay bills and the truck has been nothing but a expensive daily driver/comp trip ride.If you where lucky it would get 11 mpg.
I started looking for something else to drive back and forth and keep the truck but everything I liked was more money than I wanted to spend and would be useless as a family ride.
So yesterday I found something that would be fun to drive,practical for the family and get a little better fuel economy than my truck so I traded for it.

Its 395HP and 400pounds tq so its pretty fun to drive and gets about 20mpg normal driving and beating the hell out of it it still gets in the double digits.Lol

I am actually considering letting her drive it to work so it stays out of our filthy parking lot.
