Or a Ram... Or a Dodge. Not sure what they are called these days. This was a huge change for me, been a Ford guy for many years, but after the issues with the last 2 trucks I decided to give a Cummins a try. Hit the road at 630am and pulled into dealers lot at 11am. 30 minute test drive, 20 minutes of haggling, 30 minutes with finance and I was back in the road in the new truck. She managed 23.6mpg driving 75-80, I could get use to that.

I'm really thinking about the canyon brown/beige interior. Congrats. Those are sexy, I like looking at those but can't own anything other than silver. Way to easy to clean and very forgiving when scratched. Thx guys, mama approved of this truck last night when she got to drive it. Although she was a little upset that I got it cheaper than her Ford Edge and it gets better mileage

Although she was a little upset that I got it cheaper than her Ford Edge and it gets better mileage I'm talking lighter color interior as I hate a black interior. Too hot and shows too much dirt. I had a black exterior 2000 Z71 and while it was beautiful when shined up, it was very hard to keep that way. Both of our vehicles are currently silver (both 11 years old). However, I'm thinking of going white on my next truck. What did you pay, if you don't mind me asking?

Has anyone on the forum looked at or bought the 1/2 ton dodge with the diesel? I've test driven one before. They are really nice. If you think though you're gonna be able to save money on one over the gas version think again. Maintenance is killer on that truck. I think Ram charges $190 for an oil change. To the OP nice truck. That will likely be my next choice.

I told myself this time time that I was going to buy something different then what I always buy, which is silver exterior and black leather, well that didn't work out I really wanted the Laramie Longhorn with saddle brown leather but wanted to get away from the center console because I needed more leg room due to a bad hip.

I'm currently deciding on the console thing myself. I think I really like the bench, same as what's in my 04 Cummins.

Although she was a little upset that I got it cheaper than her Ford Edge and it gets better mileage You paid less than $30k for a year old 2500 Laramie Cummins?
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.
