Default Whats everyones daily driver! New daily for me!

So I've been daily driving my V6S AWD Vert for almost 2 years now and besides my humvees I haven't had another car that would share my daily driving duties until last week! Got an amazing deal on a 2020 Hemi Ram 1500 4wd, It's my first pick up truck and not technically my daily, I plan to use it to tow my new jetski and and haul **** around and share it with my dad since he's building a summer house and needs a tow rig to tow some stuff! So far I love it! Big ol v8 and super comfortable. Didn't get some crazy loaded one, 47.6k MSRP, got it for 32.5 before tax and shipping from MD. Modding bug has already bit and already installed a electronic gun lock, tint, paint matched the bumpers, bed liner, swing out tool box's and more stuff coming! Lets use this thread to see what everyone else has in the garage besides the F-type! and for my Jewish Friends, Shana Tovah!!!!

Solid. Nice contrast to the F-Type. In some moments I wish I had a truck for the utility, but I would rarely use it.

I have a 99 328i 5MT that was my project car, it's come a long way and doesn't really have anything wrong with it anymore (well.. the rear windows never worked but everyone who's owned an E46 is familiar with window motors). If anything, this splits driving duties with my F-Type when I don't want to worry about the high strung nature of the F-Type (constantly keeping it clean.. avoiding dings, etc). 30mpg doesn't hurt

The best part is after driving the truck for a couple days, the Jag is so much more fun to drive! and yes having something less high strung is nice but I'm already attached, 25 miles in someone door dinged the bed, I think I cried for hours.

Nice Setup Bud! Wish I could drive around with my hand gun mounted under the dash or an AR mount in the back seat but unfortunately... CANADA... My daily is a 2020 Audi SQ5 since 3 days ago. Tired of driving english made cars for daily (range rover) Value goes waaaay down and they always have stupid little computer glitches and various other annoying things that make you wonder why you spent $100K?!?

Default Audi A6 TDI

Bought it as one of Audi's held up diesel sales a couple of years ago. My commute's down some pretty rough roads in heavy traffic enroute to a big Navy base -- this fits the bill. Lot's of grunt, comfort and get close to 40 mpg on the highway over 30 in the city. Yes, it sits in the rain while big kitty lounges in the garage.

When I'm working over seas, my company vehicle is a 2018 Tahoe. Got to peel the plastic off the seats, so it feels like mine. But when I'm home, my daily driver depends on my mood and the weather. It's one of the three in my signature block.

The Sq5 is awesome! and the turbo 6 sounds really nice in the Sq5, a buddy has a 2018 which we straight piped and tuned LOL, great daily and he tows his jetski with it. And yes It's great being able too, but with everything going on lately, being an 18 year old white male, I feel like Driving with an AR makes me look bad... referring to a recent incidence in Kenosha, my dads a big gun guy and is friend with a local ATF agent, and she told me, right now is not the time and to be super careful.

Add the roll top bed cover and you will not regret it. Great to be able to secure stuff in the bed and not worry about it.

What a beautiful truck man, ya I wanted to go with a diesel 2500 but they are so freaking expensive, after this one def going diesel. Been thinking about the cover, need to find one that will work the auxiliary fuel diesel tank I am putting in the back.

2 realizations. One- you guys make a lot more money than Me. Two- way cooler toys! BTW, I drive a 2016 F150 as my daily driver. My other cars are an 2014 Charger and a 2009 Fusion.

I wouldn't call it my "daily" any more than my F-Type is because I try to split my driving between the 2 as much as I can. But my other vehicle is a 2018 Ford Raptor. Just started modding it for overlanding which is hampering any mod plans for the Jag for now. Previously I was driving a Trackhawk which was an absolute monster, but I got a little bit bored driving an SUV every day, plus it was my 3rd Grand Cherokee in a row so I was ready for a change. So I sold it in January for the Raptor and got my F-Type R in May. So far I love having 2 such different rides to choose from depending on my plans for the day.

Very nice ride.....and weaponry! I usually daily the F-type unless the weather is bad...or winter. Then I use this one. Not much of a compromise really...AWD and ~420 HP V8...And sports suspension. But can't haul as much as your truck!

Congrats on your new ride.
