Love my Maverick, but the wife hates it.

[spuds_mackenzie]

Traded in a practically new 21 Ram 1500 Laramie with the HEMI and 4x4 for my Maverick. I liked the Ram but it was more my wife's idea of a dream vehicle rather than my own. I never really liked driving big vehicles but still bought the Ram earlier this year because I thought I would just need to get used to the size plus I knew she loved it. There is virtually nothing I don't like about the Maverick (with the exception of the engine sound). It's damn near perfect for me but she refuses to drive it and just says "its cute".

Hell with the money difference on the trade in, I was able to pay off her Highlander. Oh well, can't please everyone I guess. I do miss the sound system in the Ram though. That thing sounded amazing.

So. much. subtext. Anyway....why not sell the Highlander and give her the Ram if she likes it so much?

Gas mileage mostly. She has a hybrid highlander. She drives a sh!t ton.

Also, the subtext is fantastic. I would know, I wrote it.

If I had a Highlander Hybrid there's no way I'd trade it for a RAM.

My wife drives a Sequoia and she makes fun of my mini truck every day when it is parked next to hers in the driveway!

well, I mean other than gas mileage, the RAM was nicer in basically every way compared to the highlander IMO.

Sounds like we have very similar wives.

If it was me, I would trade the wife in for a newer model! Just sayin'..... (Just kidding, ladies!)

Looking forward to the day when there's a Carvana type website for wife trade in (or husband trade in, don't kill me ladies!).

Two things can be true

Matter of taste, I find RAM's very pretentious.

You miss the sound system?
Do you have the B&O in the maverick or standard?
