Default Out with the "old" in with the new

Kind of weird situation...Got a call from my local dealer this week to come down with my 09 Ram and entertain the great sale they had going on

Well long story short, they gave me exactly what I paid for my Ram (used) 2.5years ago, thus me putting 40 000km on it was pretty much free.

Started looking on the lot and decided to go with the 2012 Ram 1500 Outdoorsman. Great looking truck fully loaded (big upgrade from auto windows and doors)

Picked it up this afternoon, putting my exhaust on it, K&N, subs, amp, deck, speakers in the next few weeks.

Needless to say im pumped !!! (first brand new vehicle)

I got a smokin deal on my 2010 to a 2012 Laramie. I honestly thought the dealer was going to call me the next day and say he made a mistake lol.

Lot of nice little changes from the 2010, most noticeable the 3.55 with anti-spin (option), cruise buttons on the front of the wheel where they should be, clearer backup camera, voice NAV, remotes that work every time, nicer leather steering wheel - and of course that new truck smell. I was looking at Sports and the outdoorsman but I stuck with the Laramie, no sunroof this time around though, I didnt open the one in my 2010 once since I owned it..

Congrats, post up some pics, covered with snow or not

I have gotten phone calls to trade in my 09 to a 2012. I have 140,000 on mine and I am NOT giving up the lifetime and Max care warranty on the 09.
Dodge is going to hate me , we are keeping this truck for a long time

Yeah see I didnt have that...bought the truck used, paid 25K back in December 09 with 55000km on it

Sold it Feb 2012 with 94000km on it and they gave me 24860 for it....How could I say no to that ?

and with the deal they were offering on the new one, I asked my wife (thinking she would play devils advocate) and she answered "your dumb if you dont do it"

Here are a few pictures after I took the 4 foot snow drift from the hood LOL

Yea, I got a call three days later and seen the dealer name on the caller ID and was like 'here we go.' But it was just them asking me to cancel the sirius radio so the new owner of my old truck could put it in his name.

Nice truck, even with the snow on it
