Saturday evening we bought a new Truck, 2006 Dodge Ram Mega Cab SLT equipped with a Cummins HO Turbo Diesel. I absoultely love this truck especially leg room compared to our old Quad Cab, I am 5'11' and my brother 6'4 so we had quit the legroom problem. We got the 5/6 thousand dollar employee pricing rebate plus another 2500 for financing with Chryler Financial. (Quit the discount-ing huh?, Not that im complaining :lol: ) We got 19500 trade in cash for our 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 Quad Cab CTD (92,000 miles).

We got a light khaki color with a khaki interior.

Heres some pics......(So the exterior really aint that great...Its the interior)

Nice Engine and thats about it.

I heard some bad things from mechanics about the new dodge truck frames and sheetmetal. Aparrently DCX cut some corners to be cheap which wont help it in the future. But the engine is good for 800,000+ miles easily if cared for. the truck it self might have some give in it after 3 years plus some under body corosion since you live in a area that gets hard winters.

But Any way they are very very nice trucks! although cough* Duramax GMC's are better Cough* sorry i think i might be getting a cold. :P

Wow... very cool!

And it's a stick, you have just jumped to an all out "super-cool"

status in my book. Cummins TD + 5-speed = BULLET-PROOF.

CONGRATS. 8)
