yukon25008.1 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Im kinda in the same boat you are... Im looking to go bigger because of the girls and my dogs, And the mega cab from dodge is awesome.. Like i posted,If gm had somekind of x-large cab configuration i would get it.. but also the cummins is supposed to be the king of diesels, Ive never had one so why not.. Also for 11-2012 i think they make the most pwr/tq 385-400 Hp and 800 ft lbs while getting the best mpg,s.. I also looked at a crew cab long bed srw f-350 king ranch, And they seem real nice..'08-newer' They all have there pro,s/ con,s And i am really a gm guy deep down.. but that mega cab rite now is the decision maker..

music Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 I like all the 2500/3500 trucks, but the GM and Dodge are my favorites. How does it ride/handle? Dodge is usually sprung the lightest (lower payload), but I haven't driven the newer ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
00Silverado4x4 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Looks like a real sharp truck. Congrats! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc7719 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 The ride is awesome. I got my first trip out of it driving through some mountains and snow to bring it home. It was four hours away where I bought it from, as there's not a lot of them kicking around on the market. My MPGs during the 4 hrs home averaged 16.5mpg.. Payload is not a huge deal, as I mostly will use it for towing, and not hauling a ton of stuff (dirt, rock for the yard etc., nothing too crazy) Thanks all for the comments Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SILVERADOSC540 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Congratulations on your new truck. I hope that it's a good truck for you.. Keep us updated on your evolving likes and dislikes as you grow into the new rig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc7719 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 Agree completely Hunglo! My thoughts exactly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstruckcountry Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 The seats look pretty nice. I've always liked the Dodge leather, but any leather seats in Fords always make my back hurt like hell. EDIT: When are they showing the new GM's?

Bad Bowtie2 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Looks like a very nice, sharp Ram. IDK, but has Dodge fixed all of the diesel injector/turbo problems they were having??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc7719 Posted November 23, 2012 Author Share Posted November 23, 2012 EDIT: When are they showing the new GM's? December 13! Hope they don't make me regret not waiting til 2014 LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waumo1 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Keep an eye on the front bumper or maybe get it clear filmed. My sister has a Ram with the painted front bumper and the paint just "disappeared" in hundreds of spots and left a rusty mess. The rest of the truck still looks perfect. Chrysler claimed the rust was from "leaving bug guts" on the paint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black2011 Posted November 24, 2012 Share Posted November 24, 2012 I garauntee upping the tire size will net you a MPG increase, these I-6 Dodges are Torque monsters, they love to lug. (I had an 01 on 35's, 1400RPM @65mph, 20MPG MAX, 18 AVG) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
