Every homeowner needs to have a truck. That is one of my philosophies of life. I have two. Maybe I overachieve.

We have two fun "show" cars. My wife's is a Saturn Sky that is custom painted. The Green Dragon. I have the PunisheR Pontiac. A Pontiac Solstice that started life as a GXP but is currently a C-6 corvette powertrain lurking inside the Solstice chassis.

We frequently load up both cars and a ton of crap to take long distance trips with our car club. We carry all the tools, the portable lift, repair arts etc in the truck and on the trailer. When we get to our destination we drive all over the best roads enjoying our cars together.

Over the past 14 years we evolved from a bumper hitch one car trailer to a gooseneck 36 foot two car hauler. We started with an F150 XL, then went to a RAM 1500 and recently to a 2500 RAM Cummins. Love the truck.

Since we frequently pull the trailer and cars (and a lot of car show crap) to shows, we have done a lot of upgrades to our Tradesman that both enhance its functionality and make it match the PunisheR theme more appropriately.

We are in the process of updating the Tradesman with heated seats, heated steering wheel, motorized front seats, Switch Pro to controls the seats, four corner emergency flashers, bed power system, light bars, high intensity fog lights, under hood lights, electronic side steps.

Wanted to say thanks to this forum and its members for all the great information,.

The cost goes up because the manufacturers keep hanging more crap on them. I got a Tradesman because it provided the functionality I wanted and was at the right price point for me. But I agree there are a lot of people in trucks who don't have a clue how to operate them.
 
Love your awesome and unique rides! The world needs more people like you. That Pontiac must scoot.
Hey what brand of grill is that and how was the fit and finish? Thx.

The grille is Royalty Core direct replacement. It was less than $900 and fit great. I am after them for the lower grille in the bumper. Want to change that one too. I had one on my RAM 1500 for six years. Spent the entire time outside in Colorado. It looked like new when I traded it in on the 2500. Great product.
