OO i see.. well... lets goo muddin!!! LOL but yea i see where you're comin from.. wranglers are very versatile... but they are dogs! if you wanna jeep get an old school one and throw a 350 in it... or better yet a 383 stroker!

 

How do you figure?? The 4.0 straight sixes that came in them were torquey, bullet proof motors. The new ones with the 3.8's arent the most powerful, but in something as light as a jeep they hold their own.

 

I think getting a 2009 might be a risky venture - it seems like the first year is always a risky venture with any make or model. A 2010 might be worthwhile though - IF they get the bugs worked out in the first year. Overall, I like the truck, but I'd prefer an extended cab vs. a crew cab. Hopefully, they stick the "baby Cummins" under the hood that rumor has been telling of.

But, I'll wait and see. First, I have to go to college, graduate, get my commission, and continue on from there.

 

believe me i drove my buddies with the 4.0 its nothin to jump about.. reliable yes... fast no... drive that then a hemi

 

It doesn't look too bad, but I always want to wait to see one in person before I decide. Doesn't matter anyhow, I'm a "HD" guy, and my '05 2500 will be paid off in about 6 months and from that point forward I'm saving the money for the "good" Challenger (as Hemiyellow put it - the 2010 / 11 model), or some other sports car as a weekend toy (maybe a Camaro if the Challenger ends up being an overweight pig, or a used C6 Z06, or if by some miracle I got some sort of windfall a Nissan GTR )....I do have to admit that the gauge cluster looks very nice, and the side storage system is a very good idea.

 

Last thing I want to do is take this off topic.

But why not have both (Hemi and Jeep)? A little steep though considering you can buy a brand new Rubi 2 door for about 30K.

Well... I don't know. I'm on a budget,truck payments for three more years at 580.00 a month, flue expenses averging 400.00 a month ( averg up to 3000 miles a month ) and a 1100.00 mortgage payment, dosent leave a lot to jump into a newbee 4rth gentruck ...

I will not go into a new truck up side down, no matter how improved it my be ...

Verry soon the new 09 Rams are gonna be old, time escapes quickly and Daimler chrysler can not set prices yet because they have to move out the last generation Rams.

The 2500 Ram is more my type of truck, and I still have 4 years warenty left on my 06, so it dosent make $$$ sense for me at this time ...

 

The '09 Ram is an interesting truck and I would consider trading up from my 3rd gen Dakota if they produced a Club Cab model again.

i agree. i'm hoping the quad cab goes back to the older style where it is one full door and then a small door that is on a suicide hinge.

 

I'm going to let some else make the payments....so I can admire the Ram for free ...
