Made the switch last night. Been driving Gm trucks since 1999, finally decided to do something different. Got rid of my 2013 GMC Sierra 1500 ecsb, for a 2014 Ram 1500 'Black Edition' express, single cab. So far i love it. Not terribly loaded out but does have the anti spin rear diff, and a factory spray in bedliner. I'll post some pics later on. But its a bad *** truck, the hemi is a beast, can't wait to add the exhaust, vararam air grabber intake, and get the windows tinted. I know i'll have other plans just gotta get it all figured out, didn't walk out of the deslership til after 9 last night.

6-speed auto. I just can't get into that rotary shift ****. I had wanted one for a few years now, my wife kept making me get the bigger extended or crew cab trucks. I miss my little single cab. Wife told me earlier this year that she no longer is into me, and wants a divorce, so now I have no one to swat my hand and tell me NO, This one is going to get nasty cause I have very little self control when it comes to my trucks, lol.....

So what did you end up paying? Bought mine 8K miles ago so I bet the rebates are better now.

As far as the shift ****... I'll admit I like it. I like all the room it saves. And even if I didn't is likely make that sacrifice to get an 8 speed. Not to downplay your purchase at all.

I didn't realize dodge had a 6 speed in their trucks. I thought they were the 5 speed with a split 2nd gear... Or is that what you're referring to?

They call it a 6 speed now, on acceleration it hits 2nd gear split. You can manual select it too. Still basically a 5 speed.
