Default Guess I'll Be Moving On!!!!!

As of tomorrow morning I will be driving a Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Crew Cab 4X4.

With the incentives and what they gave me for my 2005 Dakota, I couldn't pass it up.

Thanks so much for the info I have gathered on this forum. It was very helpful.

Moving up. Still sticking with "Mopar or No Car", still a good bet

I was almost temped to go lease a new Dodge Ram. You can get a Big Horn with the free Hemi upgrade for $299/month, with $3000 down. Thats a killer deal, IMO. I couldnt guarantee that I could stay within the miles though.

Congrats on the new truck!

Yep, 2011 model, hemi, 3.92 gears, mineral gray (like my Dak)

I couldn't believe how nice it rode with the 20" wheels.

Kind of cool how you can shift it like a manual if you choose.

Nice sounding growl through the duals.

Probably won't have to "magnaflow" this one, but you never know.

Agreed. I hope that they decide to stuff that 6.4L into the Power Wagon (my dream truck).

I love the Power Wagons. There was a red one in my old neighbor hood that made me jizz my pants every day when I saw it.
