What does "Big Horn Edition" mean anyway? I've seen a few on the road and can only assume it means "Hillbilly Edition That Only Needs Gun Rack".

If you're buying a truck thinking otherwise you got problems.

well i'm just thinking that buying a truck during this crisis may not have been the best move..IMO..
you can get some better trucks like some old S10 or something that does the same with hauling but gets better gas mileage, unless you're planning on hauling HUGE amounts of things i guess you did a good thing, but with a truck that has that much torque and horsepower it's pointless and a BIG waste of money to have if you're not gonna haul anything...I'd sell it and buy an older truck..

that's just my 2 cents

Can we please stop the negativity. Leslie's a big girl and can make her own decisions. So lets not bring her down. I'm sure the mpg, and cost were all factors she thought of before hand. You guys may be right, but its not necessary. And i believe she said she got 17 city. but w/e. so please move on and just congratulate her on the cool truck. (even if it is a dodge) :booty:

sooo, CONGRATS. sweet truck.

and speaking of dodge, I was reminded of this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D7UqfP3F ... re=related

That truck is nice! Yeah the mpg's arent that great but thats not what a truck is for. I have driven one of the Big Horns before and its a good truck. Nice power and plenty of torque to spare. Dont know if yours has been corrected or not, but Dodge trucks did have a problem with ball joints for a while, worth looking into.

I cant think of anything finer than a woman driving a nice truck like that, only thing better is diesel and dually...

That truck looks pretty good. I'd like to see the engine bay. What's this "exterior" you people are talking about? :bluetwitch: Nothing special about that. Oh, while you're taking some engine bay shots, please buy and send me this mug:
