Can't afford Chebbys any more; not sure what comes after Dodge! 🤣
Fords....... that's when you've hit rock bottom. I've heard they give you the urge to wear Crocs, drink White Claws, tie your shirt in a knot and start eyeballing Yamahas amongst other things......ask @Backwoods 😬

I located one, and the thought it was a viable candidate for Betty replacement. The Mrs said no, it looks like a hearse. I disagree but she has to drive it. So, Betty will roll on!

Fords are so bad that Dodge is giving you cash incentives just to purchase a Durango, if you own a Ford. I reckon they feel sorry for Ford owners!

If I wasn’t busy working I’d correct that abomination of a post

Looked at one in Vapor Gray. Tried to like it; couldn't.
Looked at one in their odd red (kinda pink-ish). Didn't care for it.
Not a lot of good color choices, IMO.

That one is the Vapor Gray. I like the looks from the pictures, but I might not in person. Ultimately Betty is fine, I just know she won’t last forever. Trying to replace a v8 with a v8 while I still can.

You’ve driven into CST one to many times. Might as well buy an inbred dog from Mopower to ride shotgun in that Dodge 🤣🤣🤣
Unlike the EST, CST rides don’t require a dog to ride shotgun. I realize the dog in an EST ride is actually the ford! 🤣🤣

Brought it to camp when the Mrs was looking the other way. 😁
Took @KyGal83 for a spin and romped it a little. Handles beautifully, not too much power to get in trouble. Very well planted through turns, doesn't get upset from bumps.
The SRT bits make for a very well balanced and great handling machine. Better ride quality than I expected also.
Way more fun than a 3 row SUV should be at this price point.
The SRT exhaust sound is ridiculous!

I can only imagine what it's like with the 6.4 🙃

The VG looks good clean and in sunlight.
Otherwise, it's just gray IMO.
I knew I'd get tired of gray after a year or two.
Yeah, I wanted a V8 in this platform if it worked out. Once I drove a Tow & Go vs a standard R/T there was no choice.
I warned Mart that the exhaust could be loud but she likes it, thankfully. 🙂
