Welcome to Truck Forum Mark
Hope you enjoy your stay here at Truck Forums

 

Alberta is the truck capital of Canada. I see you went big and got a diesel.

 

Thanks primem

Yes, my daughter has a 2014 Ram 2500 Longhorn and her fiancé has three big trucks (he is in the oil patch) and so having been exposed to those and wanting a change in vehicles I thought the F350 was a good choice. Only had it for about 3 weeks now but lovin it so far.

Planning on a few upgrades early in 2015.

 

Wow Now that is a truck family. Even your daughter has a nice rig.
BUT I'd love to do some kind of a survey to figure out which province is the truck capital of Canada.
Alberta as of the year 2013 is 3,847,100.
Ontario as of the year 2013 is 13,472,400

Now I have no idea what the percentage of those numbers own a truck.
I know Alberta must have a high percentage cause it would seem for every 10 vehicles you see 8 or 9 of them were trucks

 

Thanks Glenn;

Yes, she was pretty excited to get it about a year ago.

Now including mine, our family has 7 trucks between 5 owners, so they are pretty popular for sure.

That would be a great survey to see how the population compares to the number of trucks by province. If my neighbourhood is any indication, most folks are business owners or in the oil Industry. Off the top of my head I can think of 12 trucks within a block of me.

a lot of the Alberta trucks are diesels or gas 2500/3500's. In Ontario its mostly 1500's.
