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
You got that right. Home Depot must love this guy.

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.
Maybe he has not put on bigger wheels and rims because he worried about clipping a low overpass??? :unsure: ;) Just saying.......

I’ve been wanting to get a pic of my Maverick next to my RAM to post here, but it won’t stop f-ing snowing! Mine looks nothing like that hideous monstrosity (to each his own I suppose), but the size difference gets a chuckle out of me.

I’ll bet my next paycheck that dude probably does less than 1% off-road with those rinky-dink tires/wheels on that big ass truck. It’s all for show.

That's a pretty safe bet, considering that the vast majority of SUVs and trucks are NEVER used off-road. (And before someone gets hurt by that statement, dirt and gravel roads are still roads... So I would have to include myself in the "never off-road" category. But then, I neither "lift" my trucks, nor put big-ass tires on 'em. For that matter, I don't "lower" them either. I just drive 'em and use 'em like trucks.)

That's hilarious. It looks like the Ram had a baby.

Yeah, I initially ordered an AWD when the 2023 MY order banks opened up. Back in December, when Ford offered the SIBL / Bed Cleat combo special, I jumped on it, and decided to splurge on the FX4 package at the same time even though I'm not an off-roader by any stretch. OTOH, maybe having the FX4 capability will motivate me to do a little off-roading, although there are essentially no public off-roading courses in my area, and I don't have connections to go onto people's private property either.

I've briefly considered putting a leveling kit on my truck after it comes in, but I've decided to wait until I really have a need for it before spending the time and money on it.

We all know that truck is all for show. The truck bed is still immaculate…you could probably eat off of it.
Yesterday I loaded 10 bags of potting soil and mulch in the back of my Maverick without the need of a step ladder. I also averaged 32 mpgs on my way home.

Many years ago, my neighbor’s teenage son had a similar looking raised truck. He was hit from the side by a normal sized passenger car on a local city street. The high center of gravity truck was tipped over and totaled.

I hate to be that guy .... But a Ram 2500 Dually has no place on a trail no matter if it's customized or not. Too wide for most trails. And too tall for any type of trail though forests.

To me those lifted trucks are so asinine! Absolutely no taste! Your Maverick is so much better by a long shot! Also, yours is tastefully accessorized unlike that brodozer next to you. Mine is set up very similarly, same mudflaps and bug guard. Even the tonneau cover looks the same. That's all it needs. 👌

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.

your Suburban would fit in quite well here>St. George Dinosaur Discovery Site at Johnson Farm :D
