I would get my truck all over again. I would never get a BMW. Nothing screams insecure-poser-desperately-trying-to-project-an-image quite like a bmw. Especially a 3 series. My buddies wife drives one of those. They look good when chicks drive them.

Only had my 06 1500 QC for about 2 months now so the newness to me has not worn off yet.

But I upgraded from a 4.7L Dakota QC and so far am very happy. I had a pretty good Dodge experience with a 2000 Durango and the 2002 Dak so when the time came to upgrade I was sold on sticking with Dodge. I'd also had enough experience with the 4.7 that I knew I had to get a Hemi to push that bigger truck and anything I tow.

So for this truck I feel I actually went in with a clear head of what I wanted and was lucky enough to find it....and so far love it.....

I would keep my same truck, just get a different color, but I would have chosen a job that comes with a company gas card!

I would end up with the same thing yES.

There are ALWAYS going to be better deals than what you had initially paid. It's life so just deal with it. If everyone just waited around for the absolute best deal possible, nobody would own a gosh darn thing!


A BMW?? BM-trouble-you
2 kinds drive those cars. Biotch's and Douchbags. I'm neither.

I'm happy with my 2500, at the time I needed a basic work truck, reb cab 4x4 long box, Now I don't need the work truck and being a reg cab, its a pain hauling people, but othier wise I'm happy with my truck.

I factery orderd my truck ...

My new truck will be CTD long box quad cab 4x4, or I will keep my truck and get a R/T charger...

If I could do it over, I would not have bought at courtasy Chrysler ...

I would have gone a different route. I would have stayed with Ford, bought the V10, manual trans and 4.30 gears.

I let one bad, real bad, experience over rule my common sense.

Thumbs up

Still very pleased with my 05' QC Hemi Laramie; but if Dodge had made a Megacab Laramie with the CTD in 2005 - That's what I would have tried! They still don't make it and probably never will.
