would you say no to a RAM, if you drove 50k/year?

Yeah, i may. i will get a 4x2 for sure.

Im sorry buddie but your not going to get any farther in water in a 4x4 then a 2x4.

That has to be the funniest statement I have heard all day.

Guy on the other dodge forum was getting 20+ mpg on the highway with 3.21's

I also have 3.21's I get any where between 14.5-16.2mpg in town depending on how my foot feels, but once you hit the highway I love it. Just watch that bad boy climb and your gas till empty number climb lol Running at 65mph a little under 1500rpm I would guess about 1450rpm it has to be the sweetest thing ever. I love the truck. Makes those long trips nice!

With a bed cover you have a 5'7" trunk. I am on job sites alot and always need a truck . On my 06 chevy I had 140,000 on it with the orginal brakes, lots of highway miles. The 1st 3 yrs / 35,000 you have a lot of coverage, 24 hrs tow and so on.
GO FOR IT... I have the 20" and 3.21's... But I have not pulled my pontoon yet.. Will see... So far I like the ESP on the truck
