I drive mine everyday, except in the summer when my SRT-4 gets some occasional use.

My baby's with me everywhere I go whenever I go. People always know where I'm at in my local area. If the Ram isn't at my house, I ain't there. If the Ram is somewhere else, that's were you can find me.

Wife drives her's everyday, everywhere.

Same with me.

Son ain't got a license, yet; but, when he does, his 1990 W-250 will take him everywhere he goes.

There are three other trucks for spares and plenty of spare pieces for repairs.

I don't even consider a car as a decent means of transportation.

A long trip in a car would be misery to me = too low = can't see ahead = too cramped = too hard to get in and out, and most of all = beneath my dignity.

I drive mine everywhere plus pulling my 5er across country every summer for two or three months. I would trust it to go anywhere any time.

I switch between my 92 cummins and my 07 cummins ...
07 for long weekend vacations... and the 92 to get to work and back.

I was driving the 07 too much... put like 15kmiles on it in the first 9 months or so

I would rather have the warranty run out on time than mileage so I am trying to save the 07. and drive the 92 more... problem is the wife likes the 07 too..... Shes got this nasty habit of wanting to pull horse trailers around.

To try to appease her I want to off her 4runner and try to pick up a high mileage 24 valve 2nd gen short bed. Then there will be nothing but cummins dodges in the driveway... dream come true.

I will drive mine all the time when I get home (not in Iraq). I take my truck everywere it MN and eveywere else I go. Up in the monutains with the toys and camper. So yes a daily driving cummins is the best to have, unless it is nice then I am sorry I have to Ride the Full Dresser Harley. FLHTCUI

We did that years ago, the only non cummins vehicle is mom's van. Its a little though to keep up on maintenance for 5 trucks, but I can let one sit in shop for a while without having to worrying about having to use it.

I had them all screwed up at work one week, drove 4 different trucks in, talk about confusion, of course its not that hard to confuse them, but still funny.

I drive mine daily every where I go, heck I just drove it from California to North Carolina towing a good 5K trailer and didn't have one problem. I love this truck a little rough ridin but starts every time. But when its nice I have to ride the 07 Street Glide.

Mine is a everyday driver. I commute to school and work with my 93' CTD. People always ask.........doesn't that big truck burn tons of fuel??? It's funny how people assume diesels are loud and burn tons of fuel.

I drive mine every day. It is the thing I have with enough guts to pull my trailer 6-7 days a week.

I drive mine to work 100mile round trip 3-5 days a week, plus around town. Only time Im not in it is when I take my klr650 to school for a good parking spot.
