Default Im a new truckaholic...

Traded my 2009 SLT RAM 4X4 for a 2010 Laramie 4X4. It's my third new dodge since Sept 2008.

The new Ram trucks are quite nice. Great pics! I have an '08 Yukon Denali and love it. It complements the Vette perfectly.

Nice Ram. Hate the fact that Dodge cheaped out and went with coil overs instead of leafs.

The difference in ride quality is amazing. The coil spring rear was a big selling point for me. Night and day difference from my 2008 Ram.

Nice Truck.. er.. Cowboy Caddilac. I'm looking at the same color combo but haven't decided if I want the center console setup. Pro's/con's for it. And now with the 0% financing.. it's almost a "no brainer" that I should trade up... at least that's what I'm telling the wifey.

Oh sure it rides better, but it can't haul or tow crap.

10450/1950 pound tow/payload capacity on a 1/2 ton thats pretty good, I dont haul a boat or trailer currently so ride quailty trumps tow capacity in my opinion.

Tom, great looking truck. Please give us an update on your future driving impressions, the fuel mileage and reliabilty on this truck. I have been thinking of giving up my '04 Dodge Laramie Quad Cad diesel and getting one similar to yours. Thanks in advance.
