That sounds awsome. I really just wish the Dmax wasn't $10K more than the cummins.

I looked at a few CC one ton 4x4 LS Dmaxes and found then for about $45-46K nicely loaded. The Cummins with simular options was only $36-38K.

I still like the Dmax more, but man is it more expensive. I guess you pay for quality. LOL

When dodge gets a real crew cab, I am sure the prices will be closer. There quad cab is priced about like Chevy and Ford Extended cabs.

I can't wait to see what ford and dodge's answer will be. The diesel hp wars have been pretty strong lately. We might see 400+hp and 700+tq with factory backed warranties before to long
