So far I really like it but I bet I love it when I hook up to my 35' travel trailer.

I will be test driving both tomorrow, hopefully I like the manual better since it will save me some $$$ and I can mod it and not be so worried. My only reservation is backing in my trailer for work sometimes 3-4 times a day. It is onlya 5x10 cargo trailer but its still backing a trailer sometimes in veyr tight spots.

The reverse is very low geared. Are you looking at 5.9 or 6.7?

5.9l, horsepower is the same I believe (according to dodge's website). I am getting out of an 06 4x2 for an 07 4x4 and am trying to keep costs down as much as possible without having to do without a lot nice accessories.

Some dealerships still have the 06's laying around. You could step up to a 4x4 for a pretty reasonable price.

The website says several different things but ifyou can find the specs the 6.7 has 350hp and 610lb where the 5.9 has 325hp and 610 lb. But if I could have found the 5.9 that is what I would have bought.

Does the 07 5.9's have all of the new emission BS on them? I question it because they maintained their previous ratings on hp/tq.

Oh hell yea, they still have them here in new orleans. My 2 reasons for not wanting an 07 was the emissions crap and the ugly *** taillights. I can fix taillights. Welll, if I can get an 07 quad cab, 4x4 at around 34k (auto) then I will be driving a new one home tomorrow.

That's what I paid for an 07 with the 5.9. Fairley loaded also, Has the Uconnect mirror,(So cool) and the Thunder Road package.

5.9's are getting scarce around here also.

They don't have the emmssions stuff the 6.7's have.
