Must be a sign of the times

of all the electronic gadgets we have now. My truck has five 12 vdc outlets, one 120 vac outlet, and a USB port.
.
And heavy drinkers?? Eight cupholders for a seating for 5!

WOW! We are so jealous! We are in a 2002 and we don't have any USB, we only have 2 12vdc, and not a single 120vac! As for the cup holders we only have 6 and most of them are useless because they don't hold the mega size cups! What is even worse is that I bet you have a way to play MP3s! We have to listen to archaic FM radio or CDs! Time to get a new truck! :-)

My Dodge has a button for the exhaust brakes which is the best thing about it. Oh ... Wait and it's paided for, which is nice feature also because I am kinda frugal. I don't like to have any bills going into retirement but these new trucks are kinda nice aren't they....

[BB_TX]

Paid for is great. I was until a weak moment last summer.
.
It does play mp3s, even my music library direct from my iPhone. But with Sirius radio I don't even use that. Love my classic country music and Willies Roadhouse give me that full time.
.
And with the built in GPS I don't even use the external GPS any more. I only use one of the 12 vdc plugs and that is for the TPMS.
.
One thing I really do like is the hands free phone. Phone rings, caller ID pops up on the dash display, push a button on the steering wheel, and answer. Much better (and safer) than fumbling to get my phone off my belt clip.

[BusyCarol]

Okay now you are just downright bragging Bill! Sirius and Bluetooth?!
I have all of that in my van but unfortunately my van won't pull big Bertha! Have fun with your new toys. Paid for does have its benefits too but a girl can dream can't she?!

Vehicles used to be rated by HP and cubic inches...now it's the number of cup holders.

[Drifty1]

Just messing with ya Bill... Our dodge has 2ea 12 volt outlets which come in handy. I do have Bluetooth, Sirius and the built in Gps. The Gps that is built in does not work as well as I would like it to, in fact I would consider it about worthless. I think you will enjoy this truck for many years to come and I also am a little jealous.

My truck has 5 12v outlets, 1 usb port and 2 120v outlets with a rating of 4,000 watts - and it's a 2006.

Of course I added all that stuff myself, same as the in-dash GPS that will play DVD's!

This inexpensive item will allow you to insert a USB drive or SD card with you MP3's on it and play it through you FM radio wirelessly. You can even use a mini-plug to connect an MP3 player.

So, no more excuses.

Yup, ours is paid for also and, like Tom, what it didn't have I added. Now just try and get out of the cab in an emergency without getting hung up in the wires

What is this Blue Tooth stuff?? Are y'all hillbillies?? See a dentist for those teeth!!!
As for cup holders, I think I have something like 10-12. Two in each front door, 2 in the center console, 2 in the rear console, and I think just one in each rear door - maybe more.
You guys should get a Chevy!!!

[BusyCarol]

So Tom does that mean that Chevy drivers drink more than Ford and Dodge drivers? You have 12 cup holders for a truck that holds 5 people...That is more than two drinks per person if I counted my toes correctly!

[twindman]

Well we have 2 hands, so that would mean 2 drinks each!! And of course you need a spare in case one of the others runs out!!
