I plan on that or a Challenger to replace my 05 Hemi, but I also am not taking it up the butt. I have no idea what pricing will be and how long they expect to get sticker. I only buy after prices become reasonable.

I'm truly considering it. I'm in a job now where I can afford a car payment but I'm just very hesitant on jumping into somehting like that at age 19. specially with college. so right now i'm just basically trying to save money. my budget is 100 bucks a month total for gas and food. the rest of my paycheck goes into savings towards this truck.

it's been rough I havn't aten in about two days lol. but I spend 80 bucks a month in gas soooo that leaves 20 bucks for food. but it's so worth it. plus a little weight loss isnt' a bad thing either lol.

well this one wont' be a gasser depending on that new ctd. if it has a stick shift i'll get that. if not I probably go 4.7L. I drive the old man's 4.7 a lot and that's the 06 version with 235 hp. and that thing striaght moves. 310 hp makes me excited.

My father is planning on getting one, he is really looking into an 09 Laramie with the new CTD to get as his "nice" truck and keep his 98 1500 for his work truck.

More expensive than the simple leaf springs that are traditionally fitted to trucks, these offer improved body control and comfort. As Dodge points out, they are now common in heavy-duty applications, including railroad cars and semi-trucks. Press even threw one onto the pavement to prove their durability.
Thats gonna prove how strong they are...
