Eh, if your truck is going to get broken into, it's going to happen no matter what color you get. Just a fact of life. Yes, you might turn more cops' heads with a bright red truck over a silver or white one, but big deal really.

Black or white are great colors and resell easy. white cars are good for hot climates. I assume black is the same for cold ones.

Okay just to get my pricing right here, would this truck be overpriced greatly? Or the right price?

I was thinking more in the way of vandels as far as jealousy goes.

When i was 17(24 now) I had a 92 300zx. It was off white. I would bet a lot that I avoided at least one ticket because I saw a cops before they saw me.

Before I started looking at trucks I was looking at cars, more or less:

- Nissan 300ZX
- Nissan 350Z
- Subaru STI or WRX

Cars like that are begging for tickets, so I know what your talking about.

I'll give ya that, but I've never had an issue out with that here. Most everyone knows my Ram and they also know that if I ever catch anyone messing with my truck that it will be game over for them.

It would be like 83000 miles and 17000 american dollars

I've noticed a lot of the cabin's look a hell of a lot different each year they go up. Is it worth spending an extra bit of money for a better cabin considering your riding in it? Also does anyone know what years Dodge made the biggest change to their trucks? I was looking at 2004's... and the cabin looks outdated compared to even the 2006's...

here is a cheaper one. It looks nice besides the crappy taillights and the chav rims.
