Truck
My Truck
My truck is a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. I bought it in July of 2006 for $13,000; it had about 33,000 miles on it when I bought it.
From the front, passenger's side. This photo was taken right after I bought the truck, so I don't have a license plate yet.
From the front, driver's side.
The engine, which should be more than powerful enough for anything I'm going to do with the truck. I have no complaints about its performance so far. I've measured it getting about 13 miles to the gallon around town, and 17 MPG on the highway. However, my drive to work is fairly short, so gas doesn't end up costing too much. (In the summer of 2005, I drove an F-150 about 30 miles each way to work, so I was using about four gallons per day. After that, fuel just doesn't seem expensive anymore.)
From the front.
The dashboard. I had that stereo installed after I bought the truck. It can play MP3 files off of either a CD or a USB flash drive, so I pretty much have no reason to listen to broadcast radio anymore.
The gigantic center armrest, complete with "don't sit on the armrest, lest ye fall backwards" warning label.
The bed, holding sand, before I secured the sand above the rear axle. (It's a rear wheel drive truck, not the four wheel drive version, so it can be hard to get moving when the roads are icy. The weight in the back helps.) The two little dents on the bumper by the trailer hitch were there when I bought the truck.
I was bored, so I raided my box of old computer parts. My Dodge Ram is now a Dodge RAM.
