New Truck


Nathan got a new truck! He has been searching since January and it was about to drive both of us crazy. He has been driving a 1991 Chevy and it has nearly 200,000 miles on it. That is not even the issue, nor the lack of A/C. The real issue is that it isn't perfect for hauling the trailer that he bought for his business in February. So, we knew eventually it would ruin the Chevy (fondly referred to as Ed's truck...the person he bought it from...we didn't really like to admit, even to each other, that we owned it).
In any case, the searching has finally paid off. Nathan drove to Virginia on Friday with our friend Greg. They inspected it and both felt that it was a good truck and a good deal. So Nathan bought it!
Here are the specs:
2003 Dodge Ram 2500
Crew Cab (great for hauling a baby)
8 foot bed (longer then what we were looking for, but beggers can't be choosers)
Dark grey color (not blue, Nathan's preference, but again beggers can't be choosers)

So, Nathan has really been enjoying it. He has worked on it a bit adding a hitch and detailing it. There are a few other things he would like to do like adding nerf bars (it is quite high, especially for a pregnant lady and of course it is the only vehicle that we take any place now). He is in his glory working on it!
Overall, we are thankful that we found something and that we were able to pay for it!
