Since I have freed my self of all debt now, and am car-less, I feel the need to be more practical next time around. As in get something that will work for a larger family, but still provide me with some personal enjoyment.
As much as I would LOVE a stingray corvette or another shelby, I dont want to drive a beater car everyday so I can have one. Not to mention I wouldnt want to buy used unless it was a certified car with like 1000 miles on it. So the money spent would be huge for a vehicle I would only drive on sunny weekends.
I find myself being drawn to trucks. I have always wanted a F150 or F250 with a diesel. And me and the wife are talking about getting a travel trailer in a year or two. So the way I see it, I can trade my love of cars for trucks and enjoy offroading and towing like I enjoy drag racing.
Aside from Farter and his craptor, has anyone else gone down this road? Regrets? What would I be getting myself into if I decide to get a new-ish F250 6.7 or maybe a Ram 2500? I know the modding market for those is probably as expensive as the corvette market.
Will getting a truck fulfill my need for speed too? I mean I think those diesel trucks can run pretty fast too like 12's and whatnot. Any input would be appreicated. And yes I know diesel trucks are as expensive as corvettes, but I would get 100x more use out of a crew cab F250 than a corvette.
My whole family of 5, car seats and all would fit
Able to tow camper or boat or whatever
Offroading/towing craptors out of shallow mud holes
modding for power
"Rolling Coal" - What the fuck does this mean?
Tug of wars - Like the cool kids at lukes
People asking me to help them move
Snow hooning/plowing
What else is there?

I knew it was about the Raptor/getting a truck. I can't even think of what else this could have been.
