I got a call from my truck dealer yesterday.  My new truck had just come in.  Did I want to come pick it up?  You damn betcha!   The only problem I had was being able to get to the dealer.  My wife is not allowed to drive.  I sold my other car and wasn't going to be trading anything in.  The dealer said they would be happy to come pick us up and drive us to the dealer.  It’s about a 1.5 hour trip from their showroom to our house.  I think they wanted to close the deal, NOW! 

I bought the new Ram 1500 Laramie Limited Crew Cab 4X4 with the diesel option.  The color is Granite Crystal Metallic.  The interior is black.  It is extremely quiet and comfortable.  It is going to take me a while to figure out all bells and whistles.  There must be a kitchen sink in there some place.

Here is a picture of my new pride and joy.  I checked the on-board computer after we arrived home.  With speeds from 25 mph to 70 mph, I averaged 26.5 mpg for the first 100+ miles.  Now that is what I was looking for.  I am going to have to go on a road trip to really wring it out.  Tee, are you ready to go?

Just can't beat a Dodge Diesel, wait till you get her broke in good and see your mileage go up a couple of more points.
