I ended up buying a ram, it was cheaper (family employee discount). I'm giant, 6' 7" I tried a lot of vehicles but the first time I sat in it, I was just immediately comfortable. Every vehicle I've been in since my big boat of a Deville became too expensive to fix has been tight and uncomfortable.

I bought the ecodiesel, because at that time (pre-carbon tax) diesel was much cheaper. No 5.7L Hemi, no 6.2L Hellcat. When cold I can barely accelerate, when the turbo heats up it's a powerful engine designed to tow things. I get passed by these guys all day, and I get weird looks. I test drove a hemi, you don't need to try to go fast. It's actually harder to drive slow in that vehicle. My wife calls me grandpa because I drive so slow, behind the wheel of that hemi ram... I was a different person. None of this surprises me
