Traded in the truck today and got this. It will look better in the next couple of weeks when I get the 4 inch lift and 35 inch tires put on it.

Cool truck. I recently bought a Ram Lone Star, but not the Mossy Oak Outdoorsman. Have to settle for camo floor mats.

Wish I would have bought the mossy oak edition when I got mine. Nice truck

Re: New truck - 11/26/12 02:16 PM

Is it a 12 or 13 year model?

Does it have the new 8-speed trans they are advertising, and if so does it get the advertiesed 25 mpg's?

Re: New truck - 11/26/12 02:39 PM

That thing is sweet. I didn't even know they made a Mossy Oak Dodge. I just bought a new Chevy last Wednesday. How much do these run?

Nice dodge. For the money you probably could have bought a truck. Just kidding. Hope you enjoy it and congrats.

Re: New truck - 11/27/12 02:23 AM

Thanks everyone. Its a 2012. It had 44 miles on it when I bought it. The sticker price was $44,600. I got $7000 off of that though. I ordered a 4 inch suspension lift for it today. I am going to put 325x60x20 nittos on it. I have really enjoyed it so far.

No this one has the 6 speed I believe. Dont think it will get 25 mpg but they are advertising the 2013s to get it.

Nittos suck I have had two trucks I bought that had them on from dealership and the mud grapplers are horrible and the nitto all terrains aren't much better. Toyo is a helluva alot better tire for about the same money imho

Interesting comment since Toyo makes Nitto and uses the same rubber. I have had 2 sets of Terra Grapplers and they are great. Ride well and have gone 50K on both sets. They are heavy though, my only gripe. I will say the Toyo MT's are one sick great looking tire.

Here is a headline

Toyo Tire Holdings of Americas Inc., the parent company of both Toyo Tire U.S.A. Corp. and Nitto Tire U.S.A. Inc., has announced a safety recall campaign on a limited number of Toyo and Nitto brand tires.

I have had both toyo outlasted the nitto by 10-15k. All I can go by is experience

Re: New truck - 12/25/12 09:33 PM

I hear you BMD. Have you had a set of the MT's and how do they ride on pavement, both street and hwy. I love the look of that tire and am considering those.

Thanks for any feedback you can provide.

I am not discounting your experience by any means, but tire wear is very subjective, however. There are too many variables that go into determining tire wear...unrealistic expectations, driving habits, terrain, maintenance, etc.

On my Dodge 2500 Cummins crew cab short box 4wd, I've got right at 50k on 285/75/17E Nitto Terra Grapplers with about 12k of that with moderately heavy towing. I'll probably get another 3-5k if I am gentle. Couldn't ask for better wear.

You made a wise choice getting out of the 2500 diesel. I own a business and pull a 10-14,0000 payload every day, and I can't justify owning a diesel pickup. With the additional cost of the diesel motor and higher fuel and maintenance costs, I just couldn't figure out how to make the diesel pay out for me, and I am currently driving a 2011 F250 with the 6.2l v8 gas motor and a F550 with the 6.8l v10.

I am not a Dodge man, but that is a beautiful truck!!!

I have never ran Toyo, but I am on my first set of Nittos and am very pleased. I tow with this truck 2-3 days a week and have 34k on the tires. I should easily get 50k out of them.

Yes and that is what I will replace the 37x13.5 mud grapplers with.
