Default Just struck a deal on a rcsb

It's a black 2wd rcsb at a dealership in South Carolina. It has the important stuff-hemi, 3.92's, and 17" wheels. I think it has remote start and not a lot else-manual driver's seat, etc. I'll be picking it up Monday.

I think I got a pretty good deal-the truck is $22,125 and they're giving me $1500 more than anybody else on my trade in.

MSRP is 28k and some change. It's definitely on the cheaper end of what you can get a hemi truck for unless you step down to an ST. This is mainly because the truck has very few options other than the important ones-hemi and 3.92's. The only other options this truck has is remote start and tow hooks.

Congats on getting a RC, you aren't likely to see too many on the road. You are going to have an irremovable smile on your face when you drive that thing home!

I can say one thing-it will look just like a 4.7 truck. It has 17" wheels, and one of the first things I'm gonna do is get it debadged.

Congrats on the purchase. You'll love it.

You want to buy the 20s off of my Laramie?

No thanks, I was specifically trying to avoid the extra expense and rotational weight of the 20's. Plus, you can actually find drag radials in 17" sizes.

Ok, I got it, and it's PGF. (Pimpin Ghetto Fabulous) The dealership was Big O in Greenville, South Carolina. The salesman's name is Josh Moore. He was the epitome of what a salesman should be-honest, friendly, and prompt with communication. I drove my trade in up there, and NOT ONE LITTLE THING was any different than he said it would be. I was absolutely satisfied, and I would recommend him and that dealership to anyone.

One thing I did notice about the truck was that it seemed to gain a very noticeable amount of power during about the first 100 or 120 miles on the odometer. I did a number of full throttle accelerations (not from a standstill) just like the manual says to do, and they were so-so until it got about 100 miles on it. The mileage reading on the display also got particularly better around the same time the power seemed to get better, which supports my theory that the bulk of the break in was happening then.
