I decided to take advantage of the lull in new house moving/painting/I gotta fix that madness and skip out early Sunday morning to the Mojave. A brief 90 minute drive and there I was, in the middle of Nowheresville. Peaceful.
I spent some time romping the open road and a little time listening for the Chukar and California Quail while hiking the rugged terrain. I probably could have done the trip in my Mazda 3, but it was a whole lot funner in the Ram with it's massive power and clearance.
Before long my mind started to fill with the house check list. I to putty the holes in my walls now so it's dry enough to paint at 8pm, put the trash out for tomorrows pickup....
Back on the road, the Ram's calm demeanor helped me relax and just enjoy the ride. By the time I got back home, everything was fine. I felt calm and relaxed. It was nice to have the ability to briefly get away to a peaceful place, and I was thankful the Ram made it fun.

Cool entry!
I love the Mojave and Anza Borrego for the same reasons

Two well-liked Chrysler products in the IL fleet? Gadzooks.

Good point wrinklebump
Also, two that have no comparative import competition. Yes, one can argue the Tundra but once you consider the full line, there is no comparison to the 2500 and 3500 Rams

The Tundra is no competition because it is so searingly ugly.....I saw one on my drive to work the other day and I am still scarred over it.....I would find it hard to believe that anyone would think the Tundra is better looking than the Ram or F-150 (Chevy trucks are kinda ugly but not as bad as the Tundra)....I am sure the Tundra is a good truck, just revolting looking.

Great review of an alternative road experience! Seems the Ram has some tricks up it's sleeve: offroad ability and highway manners. Thanks for an informative writeup!
