Yeah, I had the option of black or white. White hides all dirt and dings, but doesn't look very sharp + my old truck was white. Black is a PAIN THE **** (I've owned a black car before too), but it looks SO DAMN GOOD when it's clean!

Congrats on the new ride! Really sweet.
I'm surprised that Dodge still pumps out these things w/ 3.55 rears and 20" wheels from the factory. If you tow your 1st mod should be at least 4.10's.
I'm jealous,

I tow a 6,000 lb boat whenever I'm up at my lakehouse (about every 2 weeks)... BUT I have a lift, so once I get the dock in the boats on that lift and I rarely tow then.
I think it'll be just fine with the 3.55 gears. Nothing like the 3.92, but do-able.

Nice looking truck and congrats! What's the computer screen for? Sorry if you wrote it, but I must have overlooked it...
Let the mods begin!! haha
**Get yourself an BT Catch Can worth every penny, after seeing how much oil it collects that should not be going back into the intake side of the engine I realized this was my BEST mod!!!
**Tow Hooks I cut out the plastic holes, I used a razor to get started then used a jigsaw and it came out perfect. I was going to buy one, but the dealer had to order it then I had to drive to the stealership. So I figured I'd do it for a 10 minute project.

The computer is for my navigation and sound system. 99.9% sound and .1% GPS actually. I sell Panasonic Toughbooks for a living too, so I like to show off what I have
I got the correct OEM plastic pre-cut in the mail and put the tow hooks on. Went well. Took my 35 minutes in the pitch black to do it. It honestly would have been easier to use my dremel to do it (which, BTW runs perfectly fine WITHOUT the truck running off the in-dash 110V outlet ), but OEM is better and it's done now
