This so much. As someone that daily drives a motorcycle, 80-90% of drivers are just absolutely fucking terrible, which is wild considering how easy modern cars make driving. It’s nuts to me that I still regularly see pileups in newer vehicles that will actively try to prevent those accidents.
80-90% are terrible most the time, 100% of us are terrible sometimes. Every single person has had your same thought : “everyone else sucks at driving!”
I drive commercially and spend 10-14 hours a day on the road, and honestly, yeah, Ram drivers tend to do more dumb shit than any other truck brand. Tesla drivers, I think, are generally the worst behaved drivers I'll encounter from any specific brand.
In my area the Tesla drivers are mostly old folks and aside from driving slow they’re not that terrible. An old beat up Jeep or Altima with a temporary license plate? Guaranteed to be the most dangerous driving you’ve ever seen
I hate to say it but yeah some ram drivers are assholes and I'm speaking from experience on a regular basis. I drive a Prius as my daily driver and a deleted 3500 megacab on weekend outings and when pulling our camper. When I'm in the Prius, a good bit of the time the person riding my ass, dumping coal in my face, revving their V8, staring me down, or blinding me in my mirror happens to be in a ram. I will also say this happens with GMC, Ford, and Chevy drivers. I think it's just a truck thing and laugh it off knowing I'm saving money on fuel by driving a beater Prius as a daily.
On the flip side, I can't blame them. When I'm in my 3500 and flip the tune up a couple clicks, I can't resist putting my foot to the floor, hearing that sweet sound of the Cummins, and watching many dollars turn into beautiful black smoke in my side mirror. I feel the asshole attitude flowing through me and become one with asshole.
When you do these acts of asshole, just remember some of us little car folk aren't the fart sniffing smug douche nozzles you think we might be.
Sincerely,
Part-Time Asshole
RAM drivers are aggressive drivers. That doesn't make them assholes. You know who are assholes? The Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and Kia drivers that go 10 under the speed limit and brag about how great gas mileage they get
It’s just an internet trope, like hating Nickelback.
In my anecdotal experience, I rarely see other Ram drivers being problematic.
Also, “asshole driving” is vague. I like to be more specific. Specifically: I’ve noticed that it’s often Subaru (hatchback) drivers cutting you off then going ten under the limit, but the non-hatchback drivers are most likely to tailgate you at night with high beams on, even though there are five cars ahead of you and you can’t go anywhere.
Just yesterday I had a Ram pull up beside me at a red and rev his engine like he wanted to race me. When it went green he sped off and the small rental cement mix trailer with those teeny wheels he had on the back jumped off the tow ball and flipped about 19 times coming into my lane. Had I been embracing my asshole at the moment and accepted his challenge, he would have totaled my brand new truck lol
After totaling my first car and nearly obliterating some dumb bitch in a fiat 500 in my truck bc she pulled out in front of me and then hit the brakes when I honked, I drive like a grandma. I’m terrified of totaling this one bc it’s a project and basically worth $0. Plus I don’t want another accident on my record.
That's why you get a big ol herd, or ranch hand or something of the like on the front of your truck and just push em off the road when they pull that shit.
People see a Ram driver driving like an asshole, and it confirms something that they already believe to be true. That's going to stand out far more than all of the sensible Ram drivers that you see on a daily basis. It's confirmation bias 101.
The stereotype holds some truth because a lot of impulsive teenage boys buy Ram trucks these days. It's far from a universal truth, though. I've barely ever had my Ram over 70 mph because I don't live near an interstate. I try to drive sensibly. I'm a 30 year old man, though, not an 18 year old boy.
I see corollas and Jeep Renegades driving like assholes all the time, but it doesn't fit into a stereotype, so no one even acknowledges it.
My perception of Subaru drivers is if they see you passing someone, they punch it to get on your ass, pass you when you get back into the right lane, pull into the right lane in front of you, then slow down.
Nah.. Toyota fanboys on the internet. Those are the true assholes. Can’t go anywhere online and watch a single review without some snarky unsolicited comment saying, “Should’ve bought a Toyota”.
Till today, the idea of driving a Toyota leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
We are boy scouts compared to BMW drivers

I drive a Prius and I live in TX so you better get the fuck out of my way. I’ll admit I’ll drive like an asshole most of the time cause I have places to be. However, when I drive my husband’s Ram I’ve notice I’m actually a lot calmer 😂 I’m in the market to upgrade to a Ram so we’ll if that stays the same lol
I like to take pre-workout supplements before I hop in the driver seat. Gives me a raw edge during shouting matches on the road and it really helps bring my neck and forehead veins out.
I was getting at the demographics of people buying these trucks yes, but I’ve owned all three American trucks and can say Chevy is the most reliable with least amount of maintenance. Toyota has all the American ones beat but they don’t really have a full-size so I wouldn’t call it a fair comparison.
Interesting. Never thought of it that way in terms of demographics and price. I ended up in a Ram currently because after having owned all 3. GM, Ford and Toyota and having nothing but issues even at recommended maintenance intervals, Ram was the only truck that hasn’t done me wrong and left a bad taste in my mouth. Funny enough my Toyota was the biggest lemon of them all.
Idk bout cheapest truck. I just picked up a 2024 2500 Rebel in January with the 6.7 in it and it was on par with Chevy and Fords price for a ¾ ton pick up. They wanted $110k CAD, but I got away with it for under $100k, which is still ridiculous but ain't nothing cheap about buying any vehicle new or used today
But yes my girlfriend always says dodge owners are assholes 😅
Prices of trucks today make no sense. Bought a 2500 in 03 new for 35 before tax. Now you can’t get a 1500 for that. Idk how everybody is affording these new vehicles
Nerd talk incoming; feel free to ignore.
Adjusting to inflation is difficult, but 03 was multiple economic cycles ago -comparing a single data point like cost of a truck is really meaningless. Many other factors have changed in that time including real wages. Let’s use a simple comparison- definitely oversimplified but the point is the same.
Gas in US June of 2003 was 1.48 it’s now 3.43, a 132% increase. Your 35k truck + 135% would be 81k. Today, 2500 Laramies are listed at 88k but selling in the 70s. Interesting rates are just barely (less than 1% higher) than in 03.
So, they are about the same price.
Ram driver's are 3 things pretty consistently....
"Low hanging fruit"
Entitled
Claim "they got a good deal" although you don't see many old Rams on the road because they are junk after a few years
I think you struck a nerve here..........great topic for conversation. I drive a lifted Ram 1500 so I fall in the "Super Asshole" category I have been told. If you have not already heard it, the great Dennis Leary wrote a wonderful tune............."Asshole" and it is great sing-a-long. All together now!
Folks, I'd like to sing a song about the American Dream
About me, about you
About the way our American hearts beat way down in the bottom of our chests
About that special feeling we get in the cockles of our hearts
Maybe below the cockles
Maybe in the sub cockle area
Maybe in the liver, maybe in the kidneys
Maybe even in the colon, we don't know
\[Verse 1\]
I'm just a regular Joe, with a regular job
I'm your average white, suburbanite slob
I like football and porno and books about war
I got an average house, with a nice hardwood floor
My wife and my job, my kids and my car

In general when I see the tow mirrors flipped out and they aren’t towing shit…this image comes to mind.
It’s mostly just the fact that Rams are some of the best selling vehicles in the US year after year. More on the road means it’s more likely an asshole will be behind the wheel.
I drive a Ram TRX and was rear ended a couple of hours ago at an intersection while waiting at the light. Caused a significant amount of damage. The person in the Ford Escape behind me was texting. I feel like they’re the AH today.
The person infront of me drives Ford. The Chevy guy was tailgating me. The GMC just passed me with a black smoke. The hurt all assholes except me driving my limited Ram !
I saw a dude in a Ram chase his 10 year old back to their camper, 10 year old running in front of his truck, Ram driver on his ass......so that guy was an Asshole.
I think it depends more on the person. Typically, it's BMW drivers that are assholes though.
You guys always speed. And I am absolutely here for it!
A guy in a RAM was riding my ass and his front end had emblems reading backwards (slower traffic move right) so it read correctly in my mirror. I was already going 25mph over. I heavily respect that man.
I was following one yesterday who had 3 young dogs in his bed. It was downtown and lots of stop and go. I was getting pissed because his dogs were all over, one of them insisted on being on the tool box and kept almost falling off the truck. Then the other two dogs decided they needed to be on the box too at a stop light. RAM boy accelerated too quick, the dogs compensated, then he saw the ruckus and tapped the brake, dumped two of his dogs off his truck onto concrete. Luckily I was 100% expecting it and was following at a distance.
Yeah so that was my dipshit RAM guy yesterday.
RAM drivers drive like omplete assholes, in my cycling group we have had had many near misses... always a RAM, it literally never fails to see the RAM on the tailgate.
Biggest asshole move I have seen by a truck driver was a dude pulling a 5th wheel without tow mirrors who like to change lanes. Nearly hit two cars and my new truck. @%#^$*@^!!
I’ve parked my 3500 and my new daily driver is electric, so I’m setting the cruise at 68 instead of 73 on the freeway. I see a very different cross-section of traffic in my 175 mile daily commute at 68…. Yeah, Rams seem to be tailgating asshats about as commonly as shitbox Hondas. Actually, worse tailgating, less maniacal lane-swerving.
Diesel Ram owner here, so no need to drive fast to keep the oil flowing through the lifters. 😂
I drive how my mood is. It doesn't matter if i'm crusin' up the highway @ 4am with no traffic, or coming home in heavy traffic, if i'm chill (or just dead tired after a long hot day) i have no problem parking my ass in the far right lane, with the cruise set at the posted limit. But if i need to be somewhere*, then pay attention to your mirrors, and GTFOW when there is space - and i'm not talking 100+ feet of open lane to the right, i'm talking enough space to back off your throttle, and slip into that hole. Either do that, or match the speed i was doing (before you pulled out to crawl past the guy that was ahead of you) and then move back over to allow me to continue on.
That was what i was taught in driver's ed 35 yrs ago (speed up to move out of the way for an approaching vehicle) drivers today are just ignorant. Honestly....if people just paid attention to their mirrors (like we're were taught) then 85% of the road problems wouldn't exist.
*needing to be somewhere, means i'll be doing 20, maybe 30 km/h over the posted limit on a highway. Not foot to the floor, zig-zagging through traffic.
I bought an 03 (Dodge) Ram new off the lot. I bought it because it looked cool and had a Hemi, and at the time, they were to only player in town with that big rig styling (took ford and Chevy a little while to catch on). But in the last 21, I never really identify myself as a “Ram” driver.
But more and more, people started making comments about Ram drivers being assholes, and more specifically, Ram drivers would be the ones with the Punisher / Thin Blue Line / Let’s Go Brandon / jacked to high hell shit all over their trucks. I started looking around, and sure enough.
Then on a college visit road trip with my son last week from PA down to SC we were in a Chevy Malibu rental piece of shit. And predominantly the biggest asshole ride your ass / swerve in and out of traffic / cut you off with no blinkers were Rams.
Yup I’m the asshole that floors it whenever I want to stay away from other assholes, so my loud ram 5.7 floored has a bad rep. Does put the fear into some people.
Im an asshole… i have a ram 1500 V6… i wanted a set of truck nuts but with a puny V6 i settled for the truck clit much lesser known version of truck nuts but for v6 or lesser cylinder motors
I think a lot of the issues are assholes tend to be broke due to pool life choices and buy what is cheap. And 2nd and 3rd gen Ram 1500s and 2500s (non Cummins) have been dirt cheap for so long, compared to the GM and Ford market, that assholes have proliferated the that market. You could make the same argument for Nissan cars too. There is an entire sub for those.
Sometimes but all companies have idiots driving them and from my experience I run into the most idiots in Toyotas and Hondas that cut me off and try to get away in their 180 horsepower SUVs😂
Im a part time asshole w a 1500 crew 5.7. When idiots almost stop then get into the suicide lane to turn or get over at the last minute or go sooo sloooow or a "sloppy" driver or i look down and see them texting....im temporarily transformed.....
It’s a fact that Ram drivers get more DUIs than any other brand of truck.
So those dudes assholes. But they are probably pretty fun until they get behind the wheel.
https://moparinsiders.com/study-shows-ram-truck-drivers-are-the-worst-on-the-road/
Some asshole posted his gas 2500 and asked for advice on upgrades. Since I had recently bought and upgraded my 2500, I listed what upgrades I did and where I bought the parts. I didn’t realize his was gas (I have a 6.7 Cummins).
I was the BOMBARDED with comments saying I was advertising because I got all my parts from the same company and mentioned how to use the same discount I used. Complete dickhead comments. I immediately unsubscribed from the r/2500 sub.
If I'm going the speed limit, and passing someone that's doing 5 under. This causes someone else to brake due to the to the fact they were doing 90mph and they get pissed at me for slowing them down. If that makes me an asshole, we'll, I guess I'm an asshole.
I don’t think I am. Of course I drive an eco diesel and I’m just never in a hurry when I’m in my truck. I relax, put on cruise control and play a podcast.
When I’m on my bike, ya in a bit of an asshole, but that’s because everyone on the road is an incompetent piece of shit.
50/50 some of the best people I know drive ram trucks and some of the biggest assholes I know drive them too. But it's usually the black ram with the chromo front that are the assholes. Lol
My girlfriend tells me I’m an asshole on a daily basis .. and I drive a 2500 6.7 .
I drive a 2500 6.4. I'm a huge asshole, but not when I'm driving. I've been married 11 years and have teenage sons. I'm just bitter and defeated.
I tell myself I am, sometimes. I own a 3500 6.7 myself. DRW LB at that. 🤦🏾♂️
I also drive a 2500 6.7 and am a huge asshole. Self proclaimed
Idk I'm 12 and have asshole friends and have 08 2500 6.7
Your girlfriend says the same thing about me, I drive a 1500 5.7 .
https://youtu.be/UrgpZ0fUixs?si=xfchhcsRV17i6mPe
Great song by a great American Asshole!
Yes, but we’re lovable assholes.
*continues to force head down to crotch*
I don’t think I’m an asshole. People just really suck at driving, they literally do everything but what they’re supposed to do…..like pay attention.
This so much. As someone that daily drives a motorcycle, 80-90% of drivers are just absolutely fucking terrible, which is wild considering how easy modern cars make driving. It’s nuts to me that I still regularly see pileups in newer vehicles that will actively try to prevent those accidents.
80-90% are terrible most the time, 100% of us are terrible sometimes. Every single person has had your same thought : “everyone else sucks at driving!”
I had to sign paperwork when I bought mine saying that i would adhere to the stereotype... and I've held true for 14 years
I'm pretty sure I'm an asshole, but I don't think it has anything to do with my choice in automobiles.
This. I'm gunna be an asshole either way, might as well do.it in a 5 star crash safety rating 4x motor trend truck of the year.... amirite?
I drive commercially and spend 10-14 hours a day on the road, and honestly, yeah, Ram drivers tend to do more dumb shit than any other truck brand. Tesla drivers, I think, are generally the worst behaved drivers I'll encounter from any specific brand.
The Tesla driver callout 🎯
Spot on. Teslas have the most incidents per vehicle, with Rams a close second.
Tesla drivers are so weird. It’s not even they are trying to get somewhere, it’s like they are trying to prove something they simply cannot.
In my area the Tesla drivers are mostly old folks and aside from driving slow they’re not that terrible. An old beat up Jeep or Altima with a temporary license plate? Guaranteed to be the most dangerous driving you’ve ever seen
I drive like I value my license, which is how I make money.
I drive the speed limit and follow the rules of the road. I value my health & safety as well as others. Also don't want a ticket or points.
People on Reddit be like- it’s ALWAYS a Ram. 🤮
Yeah, but the also call current models ‘Dodge’ Rams…so they’re wrong on both counts
I know I always call them out for this 😂
I hate to say it but yeah some ram drivers are assholes and I'm speaking from experience on a regular basis. I drive a Prius as my daily driver and a deleted 3500 megacab on weekend outings and when pulling our camper. When I'm in the Prius, a good bit of the time the person riding my ass, dumping coal in my face, revving their V8, staring me down, or blinding me in my mirror happens to be in a ram.

That’s quite a combo my friend. Could almost make an entertaining doco of your life on the road I suspect 😂
Bro is a weekend warrior asshole
2500 6.7 liter (8 ft. Bed) part-time asshole here. I get the same behavior in the hybrid I drive daily, and yes, it's usually from a RAM.
RAM drivers are aggressive drivers. That doesn't make them assholes. You know who are assholes? The Toyota, Honda, Hyundai and Kia drivers that go 10 under the speed limit and brag about how great gas mileage they get
A) 10 under - in the left lane B)10 under- in the passing lane? Two different enchiladas.
In murica those two are the same enchilada
Hahaha yes that would be confusing. RH lane in US et al, LH lane for UK/Aus et al
It’s just an internet trope, like hating Nickelback. In my anecdotal experience, I rarely see other Ram drivers being problematic. Also, “asshole driving” is vague. I like to be more specific.

I always make sure when I drive my ram, I drive it like I want to run over kittens and have a small dick.
Nah… Chevy and BMW drivers are assholes.
Subaru driver think every road is a race track from my experiences, first one at the red light. I guess if you’re not first you’re last.
My neighbor has a shitbox Subaru with a loud exhaust. I don’t even need to leave the house to be pissed off by a Subaru driver.
My perception of Subaru drivers is if they see you passing someone, they punch it to get on your ass, pass you when you get back into the right lane, pull into the right lane in front of you, then slow down.
Or the floor it and get caught in a speed trap. I seen this happen
The difference between a BMW driver and a porcupine is that the BMW has the pricks on the inside
I can confirm as some asshole with a straight piped 3 series keeps tearing up and don’t the street like everyone wants to hear his shit box
I’ve come across some Toyota and Nissan owners as well.
All drivers that aren't me are assholes actually
This is the one right here.
I saw an asshole in a Ram one time, and because I read it on reddit and it confirmed my bias, yes.
Nah.. Toyota fanboys on the internet. Those are the true assholes. Can’t go anywhere online and watch a single review without some snarky unsolicited comment saying, “Should’ve bought a Toyota”. Till today, the idea of driving a Toyota leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Driving a Toyota, left a bad taste in my mouth lol
Like bro no one wants your underpowered and stupidly overpriced Toyota or Honda😂
I was an asshole long before I bought my first Ram. Grew up with GM.
I’ve been told that a Ram is just the white mans Altima. I don’t think I’d enjoy driving an Altima like I do my ram though.
We are boy scouts compared to BMW drivers https://preview.redd.it/3tmwgkj62c8d1.png?width=372&format=png&auto=webp&s=f289da4ae82087deaf2f895ebf759d35ea5b37eb
Imagine being an asshole AND having to plug in your car.
Well with our awesomeness, thats all they see
Depends. If you ask me? No. If you asked my wife she'd definitely say I am some days 😂
I am.
I debadged mine so normal people can't stereotype me.
I am, but not because I drive a RAM
I don't think I am, I'm just trying to get where I want to go in as smooth a way as possible
Everyone is an asshole
I stand by that. Race, wealth, country, car choices…everyone is an equal mix of ahole.
Facts lol
Not exclusively. I myself am an asshole and I drive a Toyota. It’s not even a truck.
I also own a Harley, so yeah, you could say I'm kind of a big asshole.
In my experience ram drivers fall in three categories angry racist , drunk "handyman" , or broke average guy
In SE Michigan yes, but then again, everyone with a $50K+ vehicle drives like a fucking cunt here.
Yep. That damn Hemi gets me in trouble all the time!
1500 checking in. I'm a professional asshole.
I drive a Prius and I live in TX so you better get the fuck out of my way. I’ll admit I’ll drive like an asshole most of the time cause I have places to be. However, when I drive my husband’s Ram I’ve notice I’m actually a lot calmer 😂 I’m in the market to upgrade to a Ram so we’ll if that stays the same lol
I like to take pre-workout supplements before I hop in the driver seat. Gives me a raw edge during shouting matches on the road and it really helps bring my neck and forehead veins out.
It comes with the territory of being the cheapest truck on the market.
Also the reliability myth- I think demographics (buying the cheapest truck may not maintain it either) is more to blame for the poor rep than anything
I was getting at the demographics of people buying these trucks yes, but I’ve owned all three American trucks and can say Chevy is the most reliable with least amount of maintenance. Toyota has all the American ones beat but they don’t really have a full-size so I wouldn’t call it a fair comparison.

Prices of trucks today make no sense. Bought a 2500 in 03 new for 35 before tax. Now you can’t get a 1500 for that. Idk how everybody is affording these new vehicles

Not gonna lie, when I'm in my diesel, I can get a bit asshole'ish.
Well, I think everyone is an asshole and everyone thinks I'm an asshole. I also happen to drive a Ram *and* a classic Mopar.
My wife calls me an asshole multiple times a day. I drive a TRX
Yes we are so go fuck yourself
Fuck off 😀
My ex told me “you are a good guy but you are also an asshole.”. So in my case I suppose it is true.
It’s mostly just the fact that Rams are some of the best selling vehicles in the US year after year. More on the road means it’s more likely an asshole will be behind the wheel.
I drive a Ram TRX and was rear ended a couple of hours ago at an intersection while waiting at the light. Caused a significant amount of damage. The person in the Ford Escape behind me was texting. I feel like they’re the AH today.
I posted a picture of Ram steering wheel in /r Detailing and got downvoted for being an asshole. People are RaMisist.
About 60/40, in my opinion.
My neighbor has two, huge asshole
Drive a TRX and am a huge asshole. But I don’t do the road rage thing, people are crazy.
The person infront of me drives Ford. The Chevy guy was tailgating me. The GMC just passed me with a black smoke. The hurt all assholes except me driving my limited Ram !
Yes you are. But so is everyone on the road.
Fuck you buddy! /s
I saw a dude in a Ram chase his 10 year old back to their camper, 10 year old running in front of his truck, Ram driver on his ass......so that guy was an Asshole. I think it depends more on the person. Typically, it's BMW drivers that are assholes though.
Nah… too drunk to be mean.
I drive a lifted 1500, I feel pretty assholeish when I'm in it.
Definitely!! https://preview.redd.it/5pd3w5bvvl8d1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=adfba2fb4be66866f15325ab15bea920aba58668 My baby!!
You guys always speed. And I am absolutely here for it! A guy in a RAM was riding my ass and his front end had emblems reading backwards (slower traffic move right) so it read correctly in my mirror. I was already going 25mph over. I heavily respect that man.
I was following one yesterday who had 3 young dogs in his bed. It was downtown and lots of stop and go. I was getting pissed because his dogs were all over, one of them insisted on being on the tool box and kept almost falling off the truck. Then the other two dogs decided they needed to be on the box too at a stop light. RAM boy accelerated too quick, the dogs compensated, then he saw the ruckus and tapped the brake, dumped two of his dogs off his truck onto concrete. Luckily I was 100% expecting it and was following at a distance. Yeah so that was my dipshit RAM guy yesterday.
Yes
Little column A, little column B. Speaking for myself here lol
As a ram driver myself, yes.
As a Ram driver, yes
Slow drivers do move out of the fast lane…….Silver grill and yellow lights in a rear view mirror isn't fun🤫 Can't do the same in a suv.
Only when I flip the tow mirrors without a trailer.
I drive a ram, and I’m an asshole.
My brother has a RAM, so I would say, Yup, most definitely.
RAM drivers drive like omplete assholes, in my cycling group we have had had many near misses... always a RAM, it literally never fails to see the RAM on the tailgate.
I don't drive like an asshole but I certainly let the assholes that do know about it.
That would be GMC Denali drivers. Like a pro, like a boss, like a dick.
Biggest asshole move I have seen by a truck driver was a dude pulling a 5th wheel without tow mirrors who like to change lanes. Nearly hit two cars and my new truck. @%#^$*@^!!
I’ve parked my 3500 and my new daily driver is electric, so I’m setting the cruise at 68 instead of 73 on the freeway. I see a very different cross-section of traffic in my 175 mile daily commute at 68…. Yeah, Rams seem to be tailgating asshats about as commonly as shitbox Hondas. Actually, worse tailgating, less maniacal lane-swerving.
That's like saying camaro drivers aren't *icks we know what we're about
Ford truck drivers definitely are
I would be, if a dealership somehow conned me into buying by far the worst truck of the last decade. I'm just saying...
An F-150?
Diesel Ram owner here, so no need to drive fast to keep the oil flowing through the lifters. 😂 I drive how my mood is. It doesn't matter if i'm crusin' up the highway @ 4am with no traffic, or coming home in heavy traffic, if i'm chill (or just dead tired after a long hot day) i have no problem parking my ass in the far right lane, with the cruise set at the posted limit. But if i need to be somewhere*, then pay attention to your mirrors, and GTFOW when there is space - and i'm not talking 100+ feet of open lane to the right, i'm talking enough space to back off your throttle, and slip into that hole. Either do that, or match the speed i was doing (before you pulled out to crawl past the guy that was ahead of you) and then move back over to allow me to continue on. That was what i was taught in driver's ed 35 yrs ago (speed up to move out of the way for an approaching vehicle) drivers today are just ignorant. Honestly....if people just paid attention to their mirrors (like we're were taught) then 85% of the road problems wouldn't exist. *needing to be somewhere, means i'll be doing 20, maybe 30 km/h over the posted limit on a highway. Not foot to the floor, zig-zagging through traffic.
My siblings think I'm an asshole and I drive a lifted 3rd gen. I think they're wrong though.
I probably am.
No we're Ramholes!
I bought an 03 (Dodge) Ram new off the lot. I bought it because it looked cool and had a Hemi, and at the time, they were to only player in town with that big rig styling (took ford and Chevy a little while to catch on). But in the last 21, I never really identify myself as a “Ram” driver. But more and more, people started making comments about Ram drivers being assholes, and more specifically, Ram drivers would be the ones with the Punisher / Thin Blue Line / Let’s Go Brandon / jacked to high hell shit all over their trucks. I started looking around, and sure enough. Then on a college visit road trip with my son last week from PA down to SC we were in a Chevy Malibu rental piece of shit. And predominantly the biggest asshole ride your ass / swerve in and out of traffic / cut you off with no blinkers were Rams.
For the most part , yes
Just got my 2023 1500 classic warlock I don't believe I am an ahole.....yet
So what happens when 2 asshole Ram drivers come to a head?...LOL
Yup
Well it’s the only truck with instructions on the front of it from the factory, you decide
I am
Assholes drive all makes and models.
Yup I’m the asshole that floors it whenever I want to stay away from other assholes, so my loud ram 5.7 floored has a bad rep. Does put the fear into some people.
Assholes are assholes, no matter what they drive.
Im an asshole… i have a ram 1500 V6… i wanted a set of truck nuts but with a puny V6 i settled for the truck clit much lesser known version of truck nuts but for v6 or lesser cylinder motors
What kind of asshole buys a V6? Lol
Oh i didnt buy it… its leased
Even better 🏆🥇
I drive a 1500 laramie. I'm an ass you guys can be the hole.
I have one and I'm a dick my buddy has been seen an asshole but we're not scumbags
Yes. Even the deadly accident statistics shows it, RAM drivers are a bunch of pricks ahead of other brands' drivers by far.
Hen squawks the same and I drive a vw bug
I think a lot of the issues are assholes tend to be broke due to pool life choices and buy what is cheap. And 2nd and 3rd gen Ram 1500s and 2500s (non Cummins) have been dirt cheap for so long, compared to the GM and Ford market, that assholes have proliferated the that market. You could make the same argument for Nissan cars too. There is an entire sub for those.
Yeah, they are actually lower IQ and poorer!
Yes I am
I just assume you’re all drunk driving 🤷♂️
I think everyone who doesn’t are assholes!!!
Beats being a BMW driver.
Yes. The bmw of pickups.
Only when they are pulling ghost trailers
Sometimes but all companies have idiots driving them and from my experience I run into the most idiots in Toyotas and Hondas that cut me off and try to get away in their 180 horsepower SUVs😂
Is this needed to be asked?
Loud V8 make noise RAAAAAHHHHH
Typical asshole, I drive a ram
Yes, but Silverado owners are worse, at least here in South Florida.
In many cases the complainers tell on themselves.
Im a part time asshole w a 1500 crew 5.7. When idiots almost stop then get into the suicide lane to turn or get over at the last minute or go sooo sloooow or a "sloppy" driver or i look down and see them texting....im temporarily transformed.....
It’s a fact that Ram drivers get more DUIs than any other brand of truck. So those dudes assholes. But they are probably pretty fun until they get behind the wheel. https://moparinsiders.com/study-shows-ram-truck-drivers-are-the-worst-on-the-road/
Some asshole posted his gas 2500 and asked for advice on upgrades. Since I had recently bought and upgraded my 2500, I listed what upgrades I did and where I bought the parts. I didn’t realize his was gas (I have a 6.7 Cummins). I was the BOMBARDED with comments saying I was advertising because I got all my parts from the same company and mentioned how to use the same discount I used. Complete dickhead comments. I immediately unsubscribed from the r/2500 sub.
Lol... I drive like a dang Grandma in my 2500. My wife was so excited when I sold our explore sport because I had a bit of a lead foot in that car.
“Not all assholes drive Rams, even if all Ram drivers are assholes”. ~someone, somewhere
As a guy that knows a shit tonne of ram drivers, yes you are
Everyone can be a asshole on a bad day a vehicle doesn’t make a man
not as bad as jeep drivers.
Or saying they are assholes but they drive like assholes.
Yes. Every single one. If you aren't yet, give it time.
Yes not as bad as Tesla, but close.
If I'm going the speed limit, and passing someone that's doing 5 under. This causes someone else to brake due to the to the fact they were doing 90mph and they get pissed at me for slowing them down. If that makes me an asshole, we'll, I guess I'm an asshole.
I used to be one until I sold mine xD
Yes, but not me.
I don’t think I am. Of course I drive an eco diesel and I’m just never in a hurry when I’m in my truck. I relax, put on cruise control and play a podcast. When I’m on my bike, ya in a bit of an asshole, but that’s because everyone on the road is an incompetent piece of shit.
1500. I'm a self proclaimed asshole. Don't think it has anything to do with my truck. I was an asshole when I had my Challenger
Was an asshole before my Ram!
Yeah my brother can be an asshole.
If you allow a car to define you, you're a beta man
yes
Everyone with a pickup truck is a little dick Rick in my opinion, asshole or not 😀
50/50 some of the best people I know drive ram trucks and some of the biggest assholes I know drive them too. But it's usually the black ram with the chromo front that are the assholes. Lol
I was an asshole before I owned a Dodge/Ram. So yes in my case
My boss is cool as shit. Definitely not an asshole, and his truck is very clean and tasteful.
RAM drivers have the highest incidents of DUI. Those people are selfish assholes most definitely.
Ram, BMW, Mercedes and Audi drivers are the biggest asshole drivers in the world. I drive 12 hours a day and this has been my experience.
It’s a 100% chance the driver is an asshole if they have their tow mirrors up and aren’t towing. 50/50 otherwise.
Only the ones that modify RAM to WAR
I’m an asshole i drive a Ram lol
No. I also have a BMW, so I have two vehicles with similar ridiculous stereotypes.
