Hey Scotty! Big fan from Germany over here! I have a question for you. It is really hard to find good American trucks in Germany because they are not being sold directly by the car companies, but rather have to be imported and have to go through some modifying to be compatible with german regulation. I am currently driving a '99 Dodge RAM with the 5.9 Magnum V8, which is is becoming quite annoying to maintain. The body is rusting on the typical spots and I recently replaced the whole A/C system, the starter, the generator, the water pump, the thermostat, the whole front axle, and I had to get new rims in the front, because they kept losing air pressure. Now it seems as if the carburetor is causing some problems too. From time to time the car wont idle and the enginge will just go shut down, if dont step on the gas at least a little bit. I think it has to do with the throttle valve, but I am not sure what to do. I cleaned it, and the problem keeps coming back sometimes. Then a day passes and its gone. The other big problem is that the truck will sometimes shift in upper gears way too late. Usually this happens from 2nd into 3rd and into 4th - more often when the engine is already warm. I kinda like the 2nd gens, but I have been thinking about switching to Ford a lot. I am looking into a 2007 F-150 5.4 Liter, which is being sold at a local dealer here in my area. It looks really clean and had all the inspections. Would you say rather keep the old 2nd gen RAM or would it definitely be progress to get the Ford? 

There is also a 2019 Tundra being sold close to me that a Toyota dealership imported from the States - priced at 70.000€, which is just over 81.000 US Dollars!!!! I love the Tundra, but that is unfortunately way to expensive in my opinion. What to you think?  

Thank you from Germany and may God bless you and the United States!
