Hello from Dickinson, Tx!
Hello everyone!
The quick intro is that I'm familiar with Cummins and Ram/Dodge as my Dad had an 02 Cummins and a 97 Ram 1500 years ago. Now that I have my own family and our oldest girl is into competitive horse riding/showing, it seems our F-150 EcoBoost may soon prove too light in the *** to handle the towing we will eventually do. The short of it is I'm looking around for truck because I want my wife to keep her truck, and now I think I'm done with building cars and want a truck for myself. I guess I'll pull double duty and get a truck for the work that's coming, and maybe also something I can tinker with too.
Very familiar with forums and have purchased several vehicles from these places as I've had good luck buying from enthusiasts. I've been though Nissan, BMW, and VW forums along with lurking around an EcoBoost forum for some research. Also, I'd like to let you know about my super power. I'm REALLY good with the search feature, LOL, so don't worry about me making dumb posts that have been covered ad nauseam.
So that's it. I'll be researching around here and once my BMW sells I'll be making moves to see who's got something I like. If I forgot anything don't hesitate to ask.

Well everyone, I sold the BMW and now have a truck of my own.
2013 2500 4x4 Laramie wth 60k on the clock.
Glad to finally have one and coming from a 3-Series it feels like I’m driving a freight train! Now that it’s in my driveway I’ll be researching all the ins and outs of this platform from potential deletion of EGR/DPF, vendors here for maintenance parts and DIYs to bookmark, and finally I might take a look at leveling and wheel options.

Welcome. Good looking truck. The sad thing is your ecoboost will out pull the GVW of that 150 platform. You will find the ram to handle your pulling duties with ease.
