There's always the route Blown took. 
In all seriousness though there's another factor here. Is your Dakota paid off? If it is I'd say that's a huge argument for keeping it right there. The less things you have to make payments on the better. I'm certainly glad I don't have to worry about paying off my truck AND my student loans simultaneously. A DSM isn't a bad idea if you fit in them, performance per dollar I doubt you could do better.

I just priced a new Ram, outfitted the way I want it, the way I would have to have it because anything less then it would not be what I wanted or what I have now (Laramie crew cab).......drum roll..... $801 a month for a 60 month loan....No thanks, I'll keep my $200 a month payment and my fun in the ol butt-meter Dakota, I would just not be happy with a stripped down truck, even if it did have a hemi.
thats a fact! thats why I go to carmax

ive got a buddy whos got the new V6 Mustang and he loves that thing, hell if dodge made a vehicle that made that HP and MPG i would go for it, there are tons of aftermarket parts for those things
I have always been a Dodge guy, but after looking into the new 2011 ford 150 with the 3.7 ecoboost twin turbo 320hp 420 torque 22 mpg This truck stock beat my cousins Ram 2500 modified diesel. I might need go test drive this truck.

I would give it a year befor i jumped on the eco-boost band wagon just to see if they have any problems. I would never buy a ford truck after i saw my boss and a buddy have the same engine problem on 3 different trucks.
I agree, but still think it warrants a test drive lol
