I honestly would look at the TCD for the 2500. A TCD with 75k miles is practially still new. You will get a better truck (in my eyes a 2500 is more of a work/towing truck), which more capacity to haul and tow. The Hemi will pull well, but the gas mileage while under load will kill you. I would also prefer a TCD with the standard transmission (they are just more stout in my opinion). Like I said earlier, you have a nice truck, you can look some more and see what you really want and take your time with it. No need to get one you may have second thoughts about after you get it. Dont take me wrong, I have an 03 Laramie, I love it, but when I do it again, it will be a 2500 Diesel - I think the extrat 2-3k is definately worth it for my purposes... (I tow my boat and camper). Good luck.. you will find something.

That is ALOT of miles for a vehicle made in 2004. I generally try to go 15,000 miles for ever year...

me and tdmopar59 went looked at the blue one above today and someone had really worked that truck
even the seat tracks were rusted all the way through
we did look at 03 2500 hemi and it was gorgeous
only 25000 miles on it and it seemed flawless - their askin $19k for it
what do yall think?
