There’s nothing a dressed up truck driver likes more than pulling out someone stuck in the mud or snow. It’s like justification for everything they think they have a truck for and guaranteed they’ll tell you about it.
It's bizarre. All my neighbours have massive pickups built in the last five years, and use them to commute. I own a bar and use a 1983 gm pickup twice a month to make my liquor and supply run (Warehouse is twenty miles away but they want 50 for delivery)
I have a small farm and a battered 12 year old F150 XL. It moves once a week, and I commute by motorcycle. I bought the truck in 2022 and it was bizarre. It had half the miles of the next cheapest truck on the lot, and it was half the price. It's a base model, no option truck and nobody seems to want one of those.
I wanted one a few years ago, but couldn't find anything that wasn't from the 90s and/or beat to shit...
That's the era the spark plugs all break off, people hate those motors and most everyone knows about this issue
It's actually later than the trucks with the 5.4 engines. This one could have had a 3.7 V6, a 3.5 turbocharged V6, or a 5.0 V8. The last year for the 5.4 was 2009.
Edit: I feel I should mention that a 12 year old truck means it's a 2012. I don't understand how 2012 is a dozen years ago, either.
....I'll admit I was thinking 2010 was 12 years ago
Big pickups are nasty af. Actually useful pickups are sexy.

Better get a ford raptor

Then this is a great choice. The ram trx might have a little bit more power (702 hp vs only 700hp in the raptor), but the front end and hood of the ford grants slightly worst visibility (aka looks better). Both come with factory lifts to further decrease visibility and help see over any peasants that are in your way, as well as bleeding edge offroad suspensions which would be great for city driving.
Both trucks get an incredible 10mpg in the city, but the raptor weighs in several hundred pounds lighter than the trx at 6,100lb, for when you something light and economical, but still heavy enough for a tax write off. The ford also offers an active exhaust system, so you can bypass your resonator (muffler) with the push of a button and let everyone within a quarter mile enjoy the sound of your supercharged v8.
I used to do long haul. The visibility seemed better in a 2017 International Eagle, that's a square nose one, than a 2016 dodge one ton. The dash was so high compared to the seat, that massive bulge of a hood, you could lose sight of a 5 foot tall bollard a fair distance ahead of the trucks passenger side easily.
