Laramie. All the goodies. RamBox, Uconnect, sunroof, 8 speed w/ manual shift, hemi, 3.92, leather, bun warmers and ball coolers, all kinds of things I am sure I will never touch but make the missus happy so she couldn't torpedo the deal... yeah. A lot of the creature comforts that make me feel like less of a man 
Best feature- 23k trade in and 13k off sticker.
Wanted a Longhorn, but the interiors to me just screamed "retired cowboy".

Basically the tech is figuring my block and heads are cooked. Not confirmed, but they wanted me to park it until they get an opportunity to look at it November 4th. To some, that's acceptable, but I can't because I use it for work- and not even a hint of a loaner. Said I would have to rent something. Camshaft Position Sensor. Basically said that as soon as they see that code, it's a pretty good bet that the engine will need to be done. Whether true or not, that was just the most recent in a string of crappy experiences there. I asked if it could be related to my last oil change there when the kid in the pit forgot to tighten my oil filter and I bled 7 liters of synthetic out before I caught it. No answer. I have had some really shaky experiences there lately- likely because all of the experienced techs from Ford now work at Dodge 
. It's also why I'll be paying off bills and watching the rebates on the 2014s next spring/summer...... "I" want that 360HP 5.0 too!

[MENTION=118343]Toddman34[/MENTION] Here you go. I am pretty happy with it! It has some big shoes to fill, so I guess time will tell. For now, it will stay bone stock- except the rubber. Duratracs going on tomorrow.

I'm tempted to switch brands, but I can't stand the way Rams look. My Ford has let me down since about week 2. It's discouraging to have truck problems.

The Ram is a good truck, I had a Laramie before switching to the eco. The 13's interior is awesome and I was actually looking to upgrade to a '13 Ram I just didn't want to wait for mine to be built. I wouldn't worry too much about the 8spd its a ZF trans that's also used in a lot of higher end cars.
