my cousin got a 09 Ram back last year and he came to visit and i love that truck. it does cost a bit but i really want one. iv been looking at dakotas too.

the 2 things i want is the center console with the shifter as you see in this picture.

his also has the body color front bumper. i like this more than chrome or black.

this is pretty much the truck he has but his is blue..

i know its a SLT but some SLTs dont have these options im looking for

i dont care about the touch screen either. i plan to do an after market 7in touch screen and nav unit

what the lowest price you think i could get for one of these trucks? i have 5 k down plus what i save between now and when i get one which is about 500-750 a month

 

SLT with a Sport package has the body colored bumpers.

 

good to know... not a deal breaker for me though

what package has the shifter on the center console

i know im picky but i like the way the center console looks

 

This link will provide all the models, trim selections and options.

You can get the center console in pretty much anything. I had to look for a while to find one that did not have the console. Lots of wasted space, but to each their own.

 

centre console and sport packages are one in the same, can't get a sport without a centre console.

as for your after market dreams, i thought the same thing and then realized that without throwing thousands of dollars at it for all the assocated parts, it wouldnt be worth the hassle

 

I was new to dodge products in 09 , did lot of research on the models
Mine had to have the Rrambox, I know at 1800 more but I would not take for it working out of my truck
Next the center console
premium bucket seats [ cloth ] leather has been a peoblem
321 or 355 rear end [ I got the 321] 20 months old 75,000 miles
At the time on 09's I paid 1800 for the max care bumper to bumper to go with life time power train
I negoatied the paint - carpet- cloth for 5 yrs protection 350.00 .. all ready used it on the seats , worth every dime
So --Solid blue SLT texas edition 2 wd , rambox, premium cloth buckets, center console 20" wheels[ do not like the goodyears HP]
I myself did not care for the sport bumpers... Jmop .

 

I'm pretty sure the Laramie has the shifter you're looking for and the chrome bumpers....

 

You are looking for what i have it's a 2010 crew cab sport 2x4 with 3.55's and the center console is part of the sport package! The bumpers and door handles and mirrors are all color keyed to match the truck! and look around i ended up paying around 25,000 for mine new out the door! and sticker was 36,000

 

I got about $5000 off on mine. Ive heard that is the going amt they are taking off. If you get a 2010, you can prob get more off since the 11's are coming out. There is also the option of getting a used one.
