True Dat...!
Dodge Ram 2500 Extended Cab 4x4..."BAT-mobile II"...thank goodness for the running boards and handles or I'd never be able to hoist myself into the "nose bleed section" to drive it...Scotty'd have to 'beam' me into the drivers' seat...
..."Oh look...I can see my house from here!"...heeheehee However, it drives nice, like a much smaller vehicle, has a great turning radius, and the Yorkies love riding in it...they can see their house, too.
"BAT-mobile I" was a Ford 350 Crew cab duelie. You needed half of Texas to make a U-turn...and parking lots...?...forget the "3 point turn"...you were into '13 point turns' minimum.
We got the first BAT-mobile because we needed more human room inside and a little heavier truck to pull the boat out of hydrilla covered boat ramps...the Ford Ranger in low range 4x4 could do the job nicely, we just felt like we were over-working it, and were tired of paying for 2 vehicles to park miles from each other. So, fast forward...and you see a "BAT-mobile" spinning FOUR (4) 'dulie' rear tires on wet hydrilla, people jumping into the bed of the truck oh so willing to help 'cuz they if helped us get our boat
out of the water they would maybe get to use the ramp to get their boat
into the water.
This is why BAT-mobile II was a 4x4...
(Oh, and BAT-mobile = Bad A$$ Truck thus sayeth DH...
)
