Im not sure if buying a d150 is a good idea, got a 4 speed and a slant 6, what so you guys think?

I got a 84 w150 with the slant six
It won't get you there fast, but it will get you there every time. The slant six is bullet proof but it is a bit under powered in the Rams

To answer your question it's a great idea so long as the electrical system is in good shape and it's not too rusty
It might not be the best vehicle you own but it will be one of the most memorable
Nothing like driving a stick shift square body

Thanks, my mom said it's dumb and that I should go for an 07 auto focus with 170000km but I have a feeling I won't feel like I'm getting castrated if I own this truck compared to a focus

>I won't feel like I'm getting castrated
wait till you actually have to accelerate
a friend had a W150 with a 318 and it was slow af
can only imagine how awful the mileage and acceleration is going to be

I plan on turboing it when possible and I have a feeling it will be faster than my current 93 volvo 850 which is slowly trying to commit sudoku
>>17884859
>93 volvo 850
unless its running on 2 cylinders it will be slower even the 318 took until the teens to hit 60
dont waste time on the slant 6 and do a 360 swap

>turboing a slant 6
>my mom wanted me to get a focus
just keep fixing the volvo faggot.

I get around 15mpgs in mine but I also have 4:11 gears, a d150 would most likely have 3:55s which would help with mpgs and highway driving
I won't lie you won't win any races but so as long as you're not doing a lot of highway driving it's plenty enough for a dd. And having driven a Volvo 850 I can confirm a slant six ram is faster

underage b&. she's partially right. you need to get a reliable, fuel efficient econobox or fix your current car. you have plenty of time to not be castrated when you have plenty money. And you don't have the skills to turbo anything.

I hate the fact that being a young adult on this board is fairly noticeable
