My new wheels!
 
2 Attachment(s)
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!

Finfeatherfur 10-14-2010 05:25 PM

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

fishinpox 10-14-2010 05:25 PM

Finfeatherfur 10-14-2010 05:27 PM

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

Finfeatherfur 10-14-2010 07:21 PM

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!

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

Dink 10-14-2010 08:38 PM

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

jldsc 10-14-2010 09:27 PM

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!!

Hopedale Hustler 10-14-2010 10:07 PM
