After looking around at newer trucks for the last few months I finally bit the bullet and bought one. I have been a diehard Ford guy my whole life "and still am" but just was not impressed with the new ones.

So yesterday I found a 07 Dodge Ram 2500 I really liked and ended up bringing it home,it is a laramie with the 5.9 cummins "325hp 600ft/lbs tq". Has every interior option available except a moon roof. 39000 miles on it and it is near showroom condition,I drove it 100 miles yesterday and got 20MPG which made me happy. Rides almost as good as a half ton as well. I plan on adding some more chrome/stainless acessories in the near future. Heres a few pics What do ya think?












Update 3-13-08

Well I have put a few hundred miles on the Ram so far and im really liking it. I posted some pics of a few add on/Mods I have done so far.

First thing I did was add a Go Industries "Big Tex" grill guard made of 2" tubing,and some chrome mirror covers.




My next and probley favorite add on is a Smarty Jr Programmer. 40,70 and 100HP settings. So far I have tried the 40 and 70HP settings and was very impressed,it feels like your driving a muscle car instead of a 3/4ton 4x4 truck.I guess it just makes it that much better It is also suppose to add 1-2mpg,but I am not haveing very good luck with that as it is difficult so keep my foot off the accelerator



I added my brand


Were did my muffler go?? Idk but it sounds alot better now




-01 ProX 600
-95 XCR 600

Sad to see you leave the way of the Ford, but that's a nice truck, and I have to agree with you on Ford's newer lines.
