Real nice truck Bob. Is that your Christmas gift. I can't believe someone stole the hubcaps right off the dealers lot.:D

Joe - after all the crap I've given folks, hard to believe I own black wheels now

john - 9.600#'s. My car is 3200 #, plus a 6-700# open trailer so I'm not going to be pushing it.

Yeah but I think it looks really good. That truck pulling your car is going to look pretty awesome.

I'm sure it's got a Hemi in it. Right?
Nice truck! I think Dodge has the nicest looking trucks on the market now, just not sure of the reliability.

that is pretty high...9600# for a std cab short wheelbase truck...nice.

I like that they partially de-badged them from the factory.

I used my 13 a few times for towing and was disappointed. I have the same setup as you. Ended up getting a diesel

yes, Hemi. We will see, good warrant from them to start 3/36,000 plus 5/100,000 power train and I added the Chrysler extended for 72/60,000 bumper to bumper. I tend to keep trucks a long time, lol.

i will never approach the "rating". My last one pulled my set up very nice and it was just a 4.7. This one has tow package, factory brake controller, with the 8 speed and 3.92 gears it should be a little better. For what I really tow, it's a good fit as well as something I can live with daily.

the debadge is part of the black Ram package, deletes the Hemi badges on the side, black Ram and 4x4 on gate. The sales pitch is they made anything black that they could, lol.

funny, I leave 1/6 until 2/14 again, home a few weeks then back. The good news is I should be finished over there by the end of March and will be able to hit most of the big raced from MIR forward. Basically bought a new truck so I could go a little further for some races this year. Wasn't real comfortable to tow to places like Chicago with the old truck. Now with a warranty, what the hell :)

Also first stock 4x4 I've been around that I didn't feel like needed a leveling lift immediately, lol.

Love the color. That is way to nice of a truck for me thou. I'd probably park it inside and leave my Cobra outside. LOL

thanks, that and the 8 spd is what made me want to trade the 13. almost went with blue in 2010 and once i saw "blue streak" i had ideas....

debadged, tinted front windows, tinted tails, swapped on black ram heads on grille and tailgate.... waiting for black side tubes, trifold, and visors, then throw on my 2" rear drop springs to level it out and she will be ready to roll!!!

Got any experience with Blue OX towing (http://4wheelonline.com/Towing/Blue_Ox.207713) system? I'm planning to get one for my truck.
