I have the ORE and I love it. The 4:10 gears are great, the skids plates are excellent, etc. However, the LSD in the rear ends are pretty crappy (just a fair warning. They aren't reliable.) I'd definitely buy an ORE over the standard model if they were similar in price. However at the $3-4000 premium that you are talking about you could re gear a standard model, put a better LSD in, and put skid plates on it for about half of the price difference. That's the way I'd go if I couldn't find a reasonably priced ORE.

I hate flying, all the stupid and really reckless things I have done that could've possibly gotten me killed (don't ask for details, it wasn't exactly "legal" some of these things) I can't handle flying. Last time I was on a plane I cried like a b****. As I get older it just gets worse, back in high school I even got to fly a Cessna through our aviation program you know the whole conquer your fears thing and I was fine, then didn't fly for another 8 yrs which led to the above incident. So it had to be in reasonable driving range, like 7-10hrs, basically a weekend trip. I did check Seattle a couple times and I couldn't find one. There were a couple n that 5-8hr drive range but I couldn't get to them in time. After a year I was just so tired of looking though.

Not joking a few years ago when the oil boom hit ND hard any truck that ran was $1000, if it drove $1500, if it ran and drove plus 4wd $2000, didn't matter how big of a Piece of $### it was. Craziest thing you have ever seen. McDonalds went from $9/hr starting to $13hr here. Other areas in the heart of the oil boom it was $18/hr or more starting at Mcdonalds. It has finally settled down but it totally devastated the used truck market here.

So after a few years and having to pass up on two ORE rams with sport package, both came for sale within 2 weeks of each other and under 90k miles one white and one black, due to financial reasons. I am looking again for an ORE sport as my GTP got totaled and I now have insurance money burning the proverbial hole in my pocket.
