Driving a Dodge Ram

Well now, for all those Brits that live in a small country and drive small cars I thought I would blog about a true American experience. Driving a truck.

At a rough guess half the vehicles on the roads in Texas are trucks, not the type of truck that you might think - like a scaffolding lorry, but a pickup truck like this Ford F150.









Which now looks like this....









But I didn't get to drive this Ford....

Oh no, my sister-in-law drives this beast. A Dodge Ram 2500











Yes this is what I got to drive, a V8 4.6 litre engine that gets 15mpg around town. It has 'Flow Master' exhaust system, and yes it was automatic. You put your foot down and it growls. Sigh.
Imagine learning to drive in this monster.
