I agree as to the 5 speed being a bit outdated, however as long as it is durable that'll do me fine. I don't need a ton of power per say but do want the size of the truck. Good to hear that the 1500 can pull with it. The tranny is what I was really worried about in it.. How reliable is the ESOF on the Ram? I would prefer the Manual Transfer case but I guess beggars can't be choosers...

Thanks for the replys.
