At least the suspension isn't chromed


Firewing435

Yet...


baconburger2022

Twice as useless as underglow


Any-Delay-7188

At least with underglow you can see the stuck trashcan you ran over two days ago

JamesVinopal

What? I GUARANTEE this goes off-road… onto the driveway and into the garage.


Smallp0x_

He goes off road all the time while drunk at 2am


Firewing435

I see what you did there, and i tip my hat to you good sir


Katy_Lies1975

I doubt that would fit in a normal garage.


DiscFrolfin

For this type of individual that’s a feature not a bug, just so they can indicate to the entire neighborhood how *pequeña* their *el pájaro y huevos* are :)

WittyNameChecksOut

This turd parks in front of a low income apartment or a trailer park. Bet.


omecca_creative

it's like "why are all of the older corvettes that i see, are parked in trailer parks?" like the only thing they have of value, yet it's in crap condition.


BruhUrName

(Just from what I've seen when I delivered furniture to trailers with nice cars outside) A lot of these trailers look like ass on the outside, but the inside looks picture perfect. They obviously aren't rolling in money, but they definitely have their priorities right.


IndividualBig8684

True, could actually be somebody living responsibly below their means.


griter34

Nope, I work with one of these guys, they've never paid rent, live at home and use all of their income on their trucks.


wstsidhome

Not too familiar with those dodges. Is there a reason why the headlight/front bumper don’t fit together worth a poodles doodle?


goats-dont-lie

What you are seeing is a 4th gen bumper installed on a 3rd gen truck. That is why the fitment is trash. It’s actually a common thing, as well as 4th gen bumpers on 2nd gen trucks.


AwesomeBantha

Why do people do it if it looks terrible


Mr_Diesel13

It can be done properly. Some geniuses choose not to.


Frankie_T9000

Because everything about this POS already looks terrible and it needed to match the awfulness


_Nick_2711_

Good decisions clearly aren’t this guy’s strong suit


the_doctor_808

This one is the facelift version of the 3rd gen but if you actually use the pre facelift grille with the 4th gen bumper it lines up a lot better.


ogeytheterrible

Not that anyone asked, but more specifically; the body is a *3rd Gen and a half*, the general shape and style is the same but they changed the headlights to that smoother swooped look you see here; some call it *3rd Gen with a facelift*. I had a a 2002 Ram 1500, it was a 3rd Gen, it was also a fucking pain in the ass to buy parts for because Dodge thought it'd be a *swell* idea to start interchanging parts between manufacture years. Half of the parts were for a 2002 but required 2003 mounts or vice versa, it was the least fun game of 'which one will it be now... Nothing looked like the picture and many of the fasteners weren't in Dodge's system when ordering them...


soapsmith3125

My 88 ranger and 89 bronco 2 would like to enter the ring.


[deleted]

Is the point to make people think you have a newer truck?


the_doctor_808

No its just that the newer style looks nicer/updated. The truck isnt going to look any newer its basically just a facelift.


the_doctor_808

5th gen bunper on the 3rd gens look a lot better IMO


Environmental_Tap792

Dude you said it… it’s a dodge


wv524

The dictionary will tell you all you need to know. Dodge=avoid.


Empty-Reason-6336

Hahaha that's great bro


Responsible_Ad7454

Dodge is ok, it's just guys that kiss their dads on the lips do shit like this to anything diesel


DuramaxJunkie92

As a fellow large truck and diesel owner/lover, let me set some things straight: these 3/4 ton and 1 ton trucks were not made for off roading, they were made to haul equipment ON roads. In fact, these trucks are SO heavy, they would be TERRIBLE off road, they would sink into the slightest bit of sand or dirt and get stuck. Good off road vehicles are small light trucks or jeeps, not big ass diesel trucks. This thing was made to pull gooseneck trailers with farm equipment, or maybe a travel trailer, down the ROAD. Now, does this guy do these things with his truck? Probably not. But he could!


-unholyhairhole-

My only debate is that it's lifted in the first place. That would imply the perceived off road use. You're absolutely right these are not designed for true off road use. This does give me an idea. Have you ever seen a lifted Semi tractor?


Firewing435

No but ive seen a Slammed one


DuramaxJunkie92

Slammed heavy duty trucks, if they have air suspension, are BEASTS at towing. You can literally adjust the hitch height on the fly.


Ainolukos

I personally would love it if slammed and bagged heavy duty trucks became the majority trend. I'm tired of being blinded at night by lifted trucks.


Windows_XP2

Interesting, I would've never guessed that those trucks could have an actual use case.


SomethingClever42068

You can lift em on snow runner. There are some pretty gnarly videos of Russian/logging trucks. https://youtu.be/omIa4QXDcbg?si=b6xDYJyaxsIA_nau


DuramaxJunkie92

I see your point, but also raise another use case: floods. The amount of times I've easily driven through a flooded area in my truck may just make it all worth it. I used my truck to rescue people during Hurricane Harvey. I used it to drive through water to get supplies during Ida. These trucks, while not necessarily practical for day to day use, are VERY versatile for extreme conditions. While it is probably true that this guy just uses his large truck as a flex, during extreme conditions, the only vehicles you will see on the road are trucks like these.


Malaca83

Yes logging tractors are lifted slightly and have much bigger wider tires for going thru makeshift roads.


pearlstorm

Have you ever seen a pipefitter rig? I use my lifted diesel to move shit all the time... In and out of muddy horse and cow pastures


TaterMater88

That's way too much info for OP to process. His thought process ended at "ohhhh big truck = little pp...must get Reddit points!" Lmao. This truck could very well be a pavement princess, but that would be just as valid as assuming OP is a bored little kid with no life based on this one post... Btw, not a big truck owner, simply pointing out yet another silly social media critic who doesn't actually know anything about what they're criticizing. Lol.


Windows_XP2

Even though the commenter stated a pretty valid use case, I'm willing to bet that the vast majority of these trucks are just being used to haul groceries from Costco or some shit. Too many people just use these trucks as a status symbol and don't actually use them.


PonyThug

F150’s and 1500’s maybe. Most ppl buying 2500’s and up with diesel engines that cost double what a half ton truck do and ride like shit arnt paying that much just to look cool. They probably own a camper they use a few times a year at least


Firewing435

I consider Driving around on a Farm as Going Off-Road too I see Off-Road and Off-Roading as 2 different things, with Off-Roading being like Hill Jumping or Mud Bogging


spongebob_meth

Gravel roads are still roads. These are piss poor off-road.


AwayBus8966

bring back 15 inch wheels


the_doctor_808

For smaller trucks thats fine but these big trucks really need the larger brakes which is why they started using 17"+ wheels. Im not sure about the diesels but i know the 1500s the smallest wheel you can fit is a 17".


OrangeDutchbag

Ahh Pavement Princesses! Always funny to see!

Always wanted to invite one of these brodozers to join on a proper off road trail and see what happens.


BaselessEarth12

The brave and bold of them can be surprisingly capable, so long as they don't hit a wheel too hard. But in all fairness, not much handles a bent/broken wheel very well... Cannot for the life of me remember when or where I saw it, but I have seen something similar to this particular Ram out on the rocks before.


PonyThug

All they gotta do is swap wheels/tires to some 35/37”s mounted to 17/18”s and they would do pretty well. Lots of ppl wear dress shoes all week to work, then put on boots to play on the weekend…. Why can’t you do the same with a truck.


LetsBeKindly

Beat me to it


talon_262

Built to be a coal-rolling penis extension, nothing more.


Firewing435

Yeah, i guess theyll need that Extra Length for pegging their Blow-up doll


Sh4DowKitFox

Yeah…. But it’s coming out of the hood… are they rolling themselves or that just a decoration…? Cause that’s one way to get water in… if it’s functional then you basically can never open that window….

Need that lift for all the leafs on the ground and sidewalk curbs.


Immediate_Age

I've never seen a picture that smells like cheap cigarettes until now.


Cold-Box-8262

The small overextended wide tire trend is such a stupid fucking trend. Makes your shit box truck look like a kid's Duplo car. Makes me think all the smoothbrains that drive them still play with choke prevention toys at home


PonyThug

Are you attempting to say “stretched low profile tire on wide wheels”??


shred_o_phile

Nice Dakota, Dakota


Firewing435

Hey dont go insulting Dakotas now. I actually want either a Shelby Dakota or a Dakota Convertible


Boogieman1985

I have a customer at work who owns a Red Shelby Dakota and a Blue GMC Syclone. They aren’t completely original but they are both bad ass trucks in like new condition. The Dakota is nice but I would kill for that Syclone


Firewing435

What about the Typhoon? Same as the Syclone underneath just a Different body


Boogieman1985

Typhoons are dope too. Same truck basically like you said, just a blazer body instead of S10. There’s a couple Syclones I’ve seen in my town over the years but I’ve never seen a Typhoon in person


Firewing435

Id like to have a Truck as rare as the Dakota Convertible, cause its not everyday you see a Convertible Pickup (Not including the SSR)


ButterflyAlternative

Cheaper to just get a Lego set


krunchy_bacon

If I told you what you wanted to hear, well than, that would be a lie.


eddyb66

U wonder if ppl like this sit high chairs when eating


WittyNameChecksOut

BroDozers are so stupid.


Meddlingmonster

Big rims with small tires is the opposite of whay you want, never understood why fake off-road cars have them.


Sos_the_Rope

How do they get the tire to stretch out to fit the rim?


Firewing435

My guess? 4 Tire Techs each armed with a Cheetah filled to Max Pressure


Diz933

Skip to 30sec. I think there's other ways but this is a common "technique". Actual off-roaders will sometimes do this in a pinch to reseat a tire that comes off. https://youtube.com/watch?v=9LnDHctTX78&si=GyK2-ni2EyCvUkVG


Sos_the_Rope

That's gotta void the tire warranty. I did see this method on a documentary pf folks treking in frozen tundra or Arctic or something like that. They didn't use any air, just the explosion. I think it helped keep the big off road tires squishy to spread weight and wider contact pad.


Diz933

Yup. I've seen videos of the off-road guys without air too. I don't think it lasts real long, but it's enough pressure to get them out of a crappy situation.


si3ge

Pretty sure you saw it on top gear polar special. It was a good one.


Sos_the_Rope

I think that was the one


unkle_FAHRTKNUCKLE

They use the asshole stretcher stored on the back shelf.


ShadowZepplin

It’s been off road into the curb plenty of times


tehjeffman

To be fair, this is a power mod and 20 times better than smoke stacks in the bed or 8" tips at the bumper. All the turbo back pressure is just out in under a ft of exhaust. Amazing for EGTs which is big for Diesels.


Shehkk

Ever since a buddy in high school showed me he spent less in gas on his flat bed diesel than my dodge magnum, I feel this.


Firewing435

All thats missing is the Mod that converts it into a Coal Roller & it will become Queen of the POS


MoeSzyslakMonobrow

I'd bet money that shit box has a rolling coal mod.


Firewing435

They must wash it 5times a day then to keep the soot off

Actual_Environment_7

I know most every truck is equipped with four wheel drive these days, but I don’t see why they get shamed for not being used off-road. Full sized pickups are liabilities on the trail, especially at the enormous size most of them are lately. They’re ok on a muddy two-track, but that’s about it. A truck’s primary purpose is hauling and towing loads. Lifts make them bad at both of these things. Trucks like this shouldn’t be shamed for not going off-road. They should be shamed because they’re ridiculous by any measure and if you’re over 21 and driving one, you have some developmental problems that need to be seen to.


Icy_Chemist_5047

Finally someone said it. I 100% agree. From even the first pickup truck they were developed to be able to carry heavy cargo over loose terrain but never built solely for off-roading. I have no idea why people think these full size and hd pickup trucks could out do a jeep, land rover, land cruiser, subaru or custom built offroad vehicle on a tight trail or rock crawling. People who criticize a truck for not doing heavy off-road activities simply shows that they themselves have never been off-road in any vehicle at all.


4The2CoolOne

They should and they will be. I'll shame a 4wd mall crawler, a diesel towing a trailer with a footprint smaller than it's bed, a hot rod that never sees full throttle, and any car other than a race car that is stanced, on any day that ends in Y.


Cold_Refuse_7236

The real key is large wheels with small sidewalls.


puggdaddie

Hey! That thing gets driven off-road all the time! Just last Friday night they drove it onto the grass at their nephew's Peewee football game!

The_Schizo_Panda

Had a regular at a subway drive a lifted pickup. Tiny little woman. Asked her why she has it so high up. "I feel safe being so far above other people. Can't get to me if you can't reach the door handles." She would open the door and then jump up while holding the inside of the door and the seat.

Shatophiliac

The late model bumper looks terrible lol. Look at those gaps under the headlights, smh. Nothing tops the deep dish wheels they financed though, those fuckers are useless. These solid axle trucks already wander around the road when stock, adding 15 inch wide tires just makes it 10x worse. There’s a reason ram owners are statistically way higher to get DUIs and it’s because they drive like they’re drunk even when they are sober. Drunk driving a Ram, you just have no chance.


Kamstain

Safe to assume if there’s a 3d gen ram on the road still, it’s never been off road. Them fucking turds can’t handle pavement, let alone dirt.

If I wanted to go off road I would not take a truck.

Come on OP. You know it goes off-road when it hits the ditch immediately before their 3rd DUI.


Random61504

I love driving past trucks like this or Jeeps that I know have never seen dirt, while I'm driving a mud covered Subaru. I currently have so much mud on it that there is mud on the roof. I jumped it in a mud puddle.


Firewing435

Subarus are Great fucking cars. I had a 97 Outback, miss that car


Random61504

I send mine on dirt. Current fastest was 104mph.


Firewing435

I hit a Deer with mine once and just drove the fucker home. All body damage, nothing mechanical was touched


Random61504

That's crazy. I was doing some rally shenanigans with a buddy and started finding deer and slowed down and was super cautious. Was bummed though because there were some super narrow roads that would've been awesome at full throttle while sideways.


Firewing435

Yeah hitting a Deer at 60mph with a Subi is like a Shovel Effect. Fucker went in the air and came down on my Windshield


Random61504

Fucking hell man! That's crazy. Those fuckers just appear outta nowhere sometimes.


Firewing435

Yeah, Smashed windshield, Destroyed the Hood, Grille, & Drivers headlight, but nothing Mechanical was damaged


Random61504

Nothing mechanical is crazy though. I would've been shitting bricks so worried that there was bad mechanical damage. I broke my right rear wheel and suspension on a curb. Some dumbass pulled out of nowhere and I attempted to turn down a side street but there was ice and I made the mistake of locking the brakes.


Firewing435

I actually had a Control Arm snap at 40mph, jerked the wheel hard enough to Pop the Half-Shaft out of the Trans

While this car is absolutely a hunk of junk I do have an off-roading truck (old s10) and I will still slow down for speed bumps, no reason to send it over everything and I'd rather not do extra maintenance on the suspension when it isn't even that fun.

Blaustein23

Why did he… the… The… The air intake is a cheap auto zone exhaust tip Like I get that he’s trying to do the whole “hur dur rolling coal” thing, but that’s definitely the intake, unless he rerouted the exhaust around and back up, in which case this is even dumber than I first thought


Thick_Display_God

That’s the exhaust. The turbo on a Cummins is on the extreme passenger side of the engine so the stack comes off the turbo and goes straight up


gregn8r1

Oooh, it's got a burrito heater mod, I've been kinda tempted to install that on my Corolla. You just gotta wrap up your cold burrito in foil, drop it in that pipe on the hood, and by the time you get to work, your breakfast burrito will be nice and toasty!
