Keep in mind, and I say this even though I own one, the RAM 1500 V8 is wellknown as being the biggest or one of the biggest gas quzzlers out there. That's the magnum I'm talking about. Also, They come off the lot with a kick butt sounding exhaust but I really wish I had something quieter when pulling into the woodsat 4:30 or 5:00 in the morning trying to get set up.And, no I can't change it, it is the wifes truck, LOL. It looks like you really just have a good excuse to get a truck, lucky you, but if ins./gas/and amonthly payment is a concern just but a small hitch on the ****** and buyone of the hitch carriers thatcabelas or other folks sell. I know a gut with a jeep and that what he has onthe jeep. Just be careful securing the buck back there, and maybe cover it with a tarp so the Anti's don't have something to complain about. Good luck.
