StupidRope, see below. If you want a picture of something in particular let me know and I'll post it.

And one of the stereo. Note the picture on the face! Didn't want to forget how I got here.


Finc.jb- Those were the exact colors I was trying to decide on also as well as the Mineral Gray. I eliminated them this way. Already had a Dakota mineral gray and it's my sons favorite color so I thought I'd pass so he could get his truck in that color. I've had 2 blue trucks in the past and although neither of them look as good as this blue I figured it was still a blue. I've never had an orange or red truck but I've wanted a red truck for about the last 5 years. I almost went with the orange though because I could not understand why the blue and red cost extra. Salesman told me because they had crushed pearl in the paint for sparkle, but I think he meant crystal since several of the colors are pearl. My wife and I both loved the orange but it turned out the only sport model truck Bluebonnet had on the lot with all the options I wanted was the red so I bought it. Good luck though with the color, it's probably the hardest choice to make on the truck.

And of course, the infamous trailer and it's cargo!

We will be heading to the ranch again in December so will do the towing infomercial when I get back. Wife and I took a drive up through the hill country today and man the truck rides so damn nice. Down loaded a couple of CD's to the hard drive, opened the sun roof and set the cruise, it was great. Avg'd 16.4mpg but I havent burned a full tank of gas yet. I am having trouble with my right foot, it seems to always want to be flat on the floor and I think this is affecting my milage to some degree. Hopefully time will heal this condition but I just can't say at this time. However, that is better than the 99 on a good day so I'm not too upset. Jeff.

TXcharger07, only 19 and so smart! I'm 49 but still get excited when I purchase a new truck or get laid (don't tell your mom I said that). I knew better but only had the truck 3days and well, you know how it goes. Anyway, I did the right thing and I do have to say that old 99 tows like a son of gun, it really does have good towing abilities but that 9.2mpg avg while doing it sucks! I also bought the chrome door moldings that I'm going to put on. If you take a close look at my 99 sport you will see I had them installed on that truck also. Helps keep the dings out of the new doors and kind of breaks up all that sheetmetal. Jeff.

Smile Wait till October

You should wait till october rolls around IMO, you can always buy last year model dirt cheap... Im on my second car from dodge and I've saved on average 15,000 on my 07 larmie and 10,000 off R/T avenger.. i'd personally wait..


Still on the fence on weather or not to get an 09'.. the R/T concept is looking really nice...

Waiting is a good concept if your on a budget but if you want exactly what you want no more no less you haft to order it.
