VERY, VERY, BIG Vs. SMALL. I like small!!

[RR - All the way]

I realize there have been many photos of Mavs parked next to bigger rigs. However, when I saw this Ram truck I could not resist parking my Mav next to it for a picture. This Ram was as big as I have ever seen. My cab was at the top of his tailgate/box and the hood on the Mav could almost go under his frame. The Ram was a beautiful truck but WAY more than I need. The driver was a young black man from Texas and we laughed as he took pictures also. He had seen only one Maverick up close. Guess things really are bigger in Texas..... well not all things!!

I have 8K miles on my EB; no problems. 30.2 mpg, 70% highway and almost always in Eco mode. Love it!!

If there was a collision, your bumper would just bounce off the front tires. No need for airbags!

True, but a head-on would be the end for the Maverick and its operator, ME!!

That's what she....

I have very little knowledge of vehicle modifications, but I would have to imagine the handling/ride on that Ram is pretty compromised??

I was surprised how small my Suburban looks compared to my Maverick - which looks HUGE in comparison. Funny, if the Suburban was lifted the Maverick would look tiny.

I bet that guy spends a lot of time at that gas station...

I'd imagine he'd be happy getting 10-12 mpg?

I mean, if you’re going to lift your truck at least put bigger wheels and tires on it. Hopefully that’s a work in progress.

I think this might be a particular style?? I've seen several trucks around my city with the same look.

Well even with the stock wheels it makes more sense than the ‘Carolina Squat’ that was made illegal in NC a year or so ago.

He needs that big truck to carry a ladder around long enough to let him climb it to get into the cab.

And mostly illegal,(at least in my state) I bet his fuel economy is no better than an 18 wheeler!

I was amazed he had no running boards visible or drop down. He must carry some steps in the bed for people other than himself. Hopefully the tailgate has some drop down steps to get into the bed to get the steps to get in the truck. I am so confused!!

Except - he needs a step-ladder to climb up to the bed to retrieve the ladder that allows him to climb into the cab... LOL
