Guess I'll be looking at the 2013's. I was hoping for the early production in May. I need a tow vehicle by July. Oh well.

Shelby> I own a 2012. If you can at all wait to the 8 speed, do it. Rent beg borrow something to tow when you need it. The tranny is the weak (performance wise) link in the current one, especially if you are looking at a V6 model.

You don't use six WTF do you need 8 for - new tranny means break in problems need at least a year out on anything new in the auto industry, sad but true ...

I was probably leaning towards an R/T or a Citadel with the Hemi. Don't feel like pulling my cargo trailer through the mountains of WV with my Caravan again this summer.
