just hang around and keep your eyes open....i'm sure from what i've seen at work they wont disappoint
Do you "think" that they are more powerful thank the Tundra? And faster and all that great stuff? I bet you wanna buy one right now, huh?!?!

they have been spotted being tested along side the tundra, so im sure dodge is going to try to out do toyot. i have already decided to trade in 2009 for a 2010 model. have to give them a year to work the kinks out. i dont like being the guine pig.

I would love to upgrade. If I had the money, I'd definitely get the 2010 as well. I had the same thought as you on the guniea pig idea.

word is that he hp rating on the smaller cummins will be much below 300. probably more like 260-300hp and about 460lbs of torque from what ive read. the 6.7 cummins puts out the 350 hp. i believe the new cummins will be an 8 cylinder diesel as well. with some new downpiping, an intake and a programer it will be something to recon with.

Im perfectly content with my 05'. Plus it would be a hell of alot cheaper to buy a few new mods to make it faster and give it more hp/torque than buying anew truck.With that being said,within the next 2-3yrs I will either be adding a CTD or Challenger to park along side it. Those are the only to vehicles that I like right now and would spend the money for.
