there's only about $500 difference in the Lifetime Maxcare prices '09 and '10. i say go ahead and get what you really want. i've been in a 4.7L (loaner) for over a week and i'm ready to have my hemi back.

UNLIMITED MileagePlan $0 deductible $3,220.00
(it was about $2700 on the '09)

Get the 2010, the depreciation alone makes up for the lifetime warranty.

Like John Candy once said you can "put stuff" in a box and slap a real good warranty on it to make you feel safe. But at the end of the day its still stuff. Get what you WANT!

Get the Hemi and color choice, otherwise you'll regret it every time you pull up to a light beside a hemi.

Just add on the lifetime warranty. Might be a few more bucks, but you'll have no regrets, especially if you're going to hold on to it.

If you want an extended warranty on the 2010 you have 48 months to decide if you want to buy one.

Regarding these lifetime warranties, with all the electronics and computers in these trucks do you really want to keep this truck for 15 or 20 years?
think about it, lifetime warranty bumper to bumper, nothing compares. in 20 years I can blow my engine and my AC and it is repaired free. I have never kept a car more than 2-3 years but this deal was too good to pass up.

if you are not going to keep it more then 5-7 years get the one you want, however if you are going to keep it say 10 plus get the lifetime

I settled on my last truck 08 GMC Sierra, didn't get the options, ect that I really wanted. A year and a half later I traded it in on a 09 Ram with a Hemi, Bighorn package, (all the stuff I really wanted) and couldn't be happier.

I wish I would have bought what I wanted the first time around. It would have saved me A LOT of money.

No other 09's available anywhere and what is so special about the Lone Star package? What you get a cowboy hat with it? Seriously that is not available here.
