My new wheels!
 

After 93K miles in two years, the old Duramax was not the truck for me anymore. I was tired of the high price diesel, tired of the ever threatening high dollar repairs, and the big truck ride - I got a new set of wheels!

Since my pulling days are few a far between, I scaled back to the 1/2 ton market and by far, the best deal out there was the Dodge Big Horn 4x4. Incredible ride, especially compared to the 2500 HD, and runs like a spotted a%$ ape with the big HEMI! Will see how it works out for me!

i looked at this same truck when i was shopping for a new truck cant beat the price tag ! nice ride dude

They found this one in Denham Springs since they did not have any on the lot with the fron bench seat!

u get em below 30k?

Nope, but close especially with the media package and features this one came with. Happy on the deal.

Nice Truck!!...you deserve it for all the hours you was working on the oil spill...got to treat yaself every now and then....

You couldn't get one to match your boat color?? That would've been awesome!!!

whats the gas like?

Well, I got the Hemi w/ teh 392 gear package to haul my boat and I am right at 17mpg, but it will go down once I start putting my foot in it!!!! LOL!

That would have looked like crap!!!!!!!!!

Brian, I get 10 city 15 hwy and under 9 pulling boat.

:eek:

Holy crap!!! That's in a 2wd 1/2 ton truck???

Dodge 1500 4door 2wd

I also have the 1/2 ton dodge with the hemi and I get right at 13.

That's the difference. I got the 4.7(smaller) V8 thinking I'd save money on gas.......not so smart......

Man that's crappy. The worst I have ever gotten is 13-13.5 pulling a trailer with 3 4wheelers in it and 1 behind my truck! I have a 1/2 ton Silverado Z-71

i really like the front ends of the new dodges...BUT...BUT, I would never buy one because the interiors do not last in a dodge, just my opinion from company trucks that ive owned, but still a nice lookin truck!!

thank god you didnt get the pipes through the bumper

couldn't afford the chevy or ford huh?:work:

Uhhhh..... no, I couldn't!!!!!!!!!!! Ford didn't want to deal at all on the price, saying they may actually have a shortage of trucks in the near future until production comes back to pre-recession numbers. I was going to my local Chevy dealership, until I saw a Charlie Melacon sign on their lot.

Besides, I drove my dad's Ram 1500 the other day and it has 235K miles. Other than brakes, tires, and a fuel filter, he hasn't done anything to it. NO rattles, squeaks, leaks, or falling apart. Figured something has to be right on them!!!!!!

All dodge trucks get about the same mileage, 4.7, 5.9, or 5.7. Expect about 9 pulling and 13 averaged otherwise.

Nice truck Brian.

my pops has got a 98 dodge ram 1500 that won't quit and is in excellent shape...

Dude,
I saw guys burning the tires off those things at cruisin the coast!!

those boys run.

BADASS trucks a friend of mine just got one, and now im wanting to trade in my GMC! Nice truck man!

Thanks guys! I just ordered the leveling kit for it on ebay for $65 and hopefully will have that done next week.

I thought all the bull about the HEMI was just that - BULL****! - But after 700 miles, I can now say it is a bad MOFO!!!

i got em down to 29700 oon this truck with leather but it didnt have the media package , sounds like you got a good deal

should have got a tundra if you want fuel mileage and hp my tundra with the 5.7 gets 17-19 average with 12 towing a 20' lowboy with 40hp kubota 4wd with front end loader and tiller doing 65 on the hwy with no problem, but i do like the looks of them new dodges, oh and i only paid 23,500 for mine brand new with the double cab(wanted the 6.5 ft bed instead of the crew maxs 5) but now wish i would have forked out the extra cash on the 4wd

i also have the 4.7 TRX , hwy 20-22 and pulling the boat 14-15 mpg, Nice truck FFF
