Nice truck. Who could want more bells and whistles than that? That is pretty close to what I paid for a mid range Dodge with the diesel and a 6 speed manual new 16 years ago.

I lean to the diesel though. Pulling a grade with gas just isn’t the same.

I know what you mean, but my old company truck was a chevy 2500 with the 6.5l turbo diesel at 215hp with 440fpt and it pulled everything I wanted it to.

My new one is 385hp with 430fpt, doesn't get the greatest mileage, but she isn't happy unless she is pulling a heavy load it seems, then it all clicks together and she comes into her own.

My biggest thing is the manual locking hubs it came with, kind of a love/hate relationship with those. Unlocking them is nice for the wear and tear and mileage, but a PITA for when you need them in a thunderstorm and you have to lock them. That and I find people like to lock them when they walk by in parking lots on occasion, I so want to find the guy that does that to me...
