I bought a new tow rig yesterday and it isn't a Chevy.For the first time in 11 yrs I don't have a GM pickup in the driveway.
2004 Dodge 3500 quadcab 4x4 Laramie with Elkhart conversion
Cummins/6spd 4.10 limited slip
White with black/gray leather
Running boards spray in liner carbon fiber dash insert and steering wheel GPS
17 inch wheels Sport package
I'm sure I forgot some stuff

I never thought I would own a Mopar but after shopping the big three it was an easy choice.The Ford and Chevy dealers were nutty on the numbers they wanted to give me for my trade and they wanted to much for the new truck.The difference was anywhere from 8-13 grand more than the price for the Dodge when all things were considered.I got a truck that stickered at 53 k and I picked it up for 39,700.00.I put 200 miles on it yesterday and can't wait to hook up the gooseneck to see how it pulls a trailer.The bottom end torque in this rig is unreal.I can put the truck in 3rd and let the clutch out without giving it any fuel and it will take off without stalling.I really like this truck even though it's a Mopar.

 

Friends don't let friends drive Dodge's

 

I'm a member and bought a new truck. I doubt I'll mention it again.

 

Congrats on your new ride, I'm glad you like it. I know the Chevy and Fords are a lot more money usually but so is the re-sale value. Everybody likes something different, and like you, I like a lot of different cars. I'm sure that last comment wasn't meant to offend, so don't take it toooooo personally. We are always cracking on each other around here, kinda like you guys with crack on the Mustang boys from time to time. It's all in fun. Enjoy your new ride...it sounds like a LOT of truck for the money!

 

Dollars make sense!! You cant argue with the bottom line. Besides, that leaves all that money left over to mod the Z06 Lets see... new 408, cam, maybe a dual stage

 

Good deal, congrats on the new ride. I'm sure you'll love it over time.

Oh and post up some pics of it. Without that, this thread is worthless

 

I am not a dodge guy, but I admit that if I was buying a diesel it would most likely be a dodge. They have the cummins down.

 

Congrats on the purchase.

 

I've owned a PSD Ford and a Dmax in the last 5 years and was looking for a change.The new Dodges are way better than the previous style in both fit,finish,ride quality and looks.I never thought I would own one but with the big difference in price and the 600lb ft at idle I went with it.Anyone considering a new diesel truck should at least test drive a Dodge.I think the resale value of a loaded laramie quadcab 4x4 dually should be pretty good compared to a equal ford or chevy.

 

Theres a new mayor in town......(NBS Dodges are the village idiot if ya ask me) Does it have a hemi in it?
