I got better mpg in the HDT then my pickup is getting towing the same 5er. Insurance is a wash between them.

Parking does get to be a challenge; I do like parking the Ram vs the HDT. But, we are looking for another HDT, plan to be back into another one within the next year.



You don't mention that HDT's turn better than pickups. That's the biggest irritant to me - don't mind the length and width, but needing a half mile to turn around is a b*tch.
