Enterprise finally got me in a good rental vehicle!
Well, they're still repairing my truck from the accident. Will be another 3 weeks. For those that haven't read about it:

Enterprise originally gave me a Toyota Tundra to drive but something was wrong with the brakes after the 2nd day and I took it back. The only vehicle they had on the lot at that time was a Cadillac SRX, so they gave it to me, however with what I do for work, and remodeling and moving into another house, I was in need of a pickup. Enterprise finally called me today and told me they had a truck on the lot and I could come switch out the Caddy for it. To my surprise, sitting on the lot was a shiny newish 09 Ram, 4.7 SLT Quad Cab. I've put about 70 miles on it today, and I must say I love the way the 4th Gen trucks ride. Completely different truck. Also I'm quite impressed with the 4.7 engine. She kicks hard and could probably give my Hemi a run for it's money. I'm going to watch gas mileage closely, I might be seeing a 4th Gen 4.7 in my future....

I do like the new 4th Gen's, but I've been pricing them compared to the Tundra's and unfortunately the Ram's are just more expensive than a comparable Tundra. The lifetime warranty would keep me with Dodge simply because of how many miles I do put on a vehicle, but finding a new 09 in my area has been tough, and the dealers are coming off the price of 2010's more than the 09's they have left b/c of that reason.
Tundra's resale value, and Toyota's known history for making cars/trucks that last forever has me leaning more toward them. Not to mention their new 4.6L w/6-Speed tranny that owners are saying can get 22-24 MPG's on the highway easy. Plus I know someone on the Toyota lot in town, and they've given me some decent price quotes on what they currently have on the lot. I still have a while to make a decision as my truck won't be back to me for a few more weeks.... Decisions...
