#teamblootruk :fuckyeah:
I've had 3 bloo trucks in a row, why break that now? :tits: doesn't care what color it is as long as it's not red for some reason.

This truck is 100% how I'd order a Laramie. I'm actually rather :mindblown: that it's in a :dillerman: 's inventory.
Keep the streak alive!

I think I asked already but does that truck have the mechanical locker? I know it's 4wd but a truck with an open rear diff sucks even on road. Just blows the tire off it any chance it gets.

How is that possible with traction control ?

No idea, probably not.

It'd be a lease and I don't really care TBH. My Colorado will blow the tire off at part throttle from a stand still... just #trucklyfe

Traction control will intervene, but it's not a ton of "fun"

I'm just careful with the right foot instead :iono:

Gotcha. I saw the 3.21 rear (how I'd order one actually) and know the electronic locker requires 3.92 so I was just curious.

Yea, when you've got so much power/tq on tap, 3.21's would work just fine and should help a bit on the highway efficiency front.

This truck is truly 100% how I'd order it.

We'll see. If :tits: likes it and wants it, then done. If she doesn't, then who knows.

One thing's for sure...get your :popcorn: ready.

Yea...it's still very likely a possibility. Need to get a real :dillerman: trade-in quote. It'll be anywhere from $11-$15k.

I'm thinking I might use it as an opportunity to sweeten the deal in a "oh, you don't want to discount that 2018 sitting there? Give me a few extra $k's on the Volt and you've got yourself a deal" type thing, but that's probably a pipe dream too.

I still may end up just driving the thing in a :scrooge: move. Who knows.

Do whatever you need to do with it. I want the Volt but don't need it.

Keep us posted on that ... curious... Damn it the sig other thread is now a :jeep: thread.
Nah, this is the end of :jeep: talk. I'll take it into my own thread.

In sig other news, I made an apt last week at a :dillerman: tomorrow night for :tits: to check out this truck:

https://www.orchardchryslerdodgejeep.co ... t5kn807850

She still wants to go see it (as of 5 min ago), so we'll know more on that front tomorrow night...maybe. She'll probably see a Kia Telluride tomorrow afternoon on the way to work and want that instead.

Actually, I REALLY like this truck. I might just go :nuke: and pick it up for myself if the :dill: is right.
:iono: man... I went camping last month in my BMW "sports" sedan... don't see why you couldn't just take the Volt NFG (I guess towing the Glamper is an issue). Could you just rent a :truk: if it comes down to it?

I wouldn't jump to soon into a vehicle for one mud camping trip. On the flip side though, you work at FCA, get solid :dill: and have loved :jeep: as long as you've been around shooting the shit with us. Also :poorvette: + JL is epic. Just order the one you want most. If that means you have two pickups? :whocares: If that means you have two :jeep: ? :whocares: If it's important to have the mud camping machine by September, just :doit: but why not pay an extra $1-2K to get the spec you really want to combat :plac: ?

Yea, I don't think I'd get :tits: to go in the tent again. She's 5/7 onto Glamper lyfe...and while the Volt probably COULD tow 3k lbs, it would take a lot of work getting a hitch and trailer wiring on the thing if I'm just going to off it.

You make good points :doe: I should just do what I want and see where the :plac: chips land with :tits: Could be anything.

:word: My :tits: isn't in to the tent life either :sad:

We will likely purchase a Glamper in the future, going to give my parent's one a test run at some point.

I love our glamper. I'd pretty much rather do that than anything else. Which is why the thought of being out of September makes me :sad:
