Dad Has a New Truck!

Talk about a happy guy....Sandy says he's like a kid in a candy shop. This gorgeous blue truck is a Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie with a 5.7 HEME engine.

Dad got it loaded with leather, heated AND cooled seats with six-way power and a memory for two positions. Oh, and the heal can be controlled on both sides within 8 degrees. Now who else is going to be driving this truck?

It has a programable CD changer. When you put the CD in it copies it to memory. Somehow he can have his cell phone come through the speakers, he thinks. But he's not sure his cell phone can do that. If it could, it would show who is calling on the screen. He has satelite radio also.

He can turn on outside AND inside lights in the house from the truck. And he has a remote starter so he can be warm when he gets in the truck. The steering wheel is even heated!

It has a moon roof (his description I think). The truck bed is a short base 6-1/2'. He wanted the shorter bed for pulling the trailer.

He purchased the running boards, camper mirrors, and brake controller, so now he is just about ready to go camping. Of course it comes with cruise control.

The headlights turn on automatically at dusk. This man is spoiled! It gets 18 mpg on the highway, has 20" wheels, a backup alarm (just in case he doesn't see you back there), and a 110v outlet so he can charge his cell phone or use a printer or blow dryer.... oh wait, he doesn't have only one hair to blow!

He wants to put on a heavy duty cap with boxes on the outside for his tools and a roller bed so he can roll it out to reach the tools in the back. In his words, "I have to wait for a bit." before he can add these items to this already luxurious vehicle. He is even considering a backup camera so when he backs up to attach the trailer he can see the hitch.

Dad says his first road trip is to be determined.

So if you are on the roads in that part of the state, look for a beautiful blue Dodge RAM with a cute man grinning from ear to ear driving.
