My New Truck
« Reply #-1 on: April 24, 2014, 09:47:11 AM »
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?

Nice Rig Art. I hope Dodge has a better exaust clean system than Ford diesels. I would just about get home and the darn thing would go into exaust clean. Once it starts you could not shut the engine off so I would have to drive around for a half hour until it finished cleaning.

Yes, it is.  I am going out to Tee's tomorrow to go do a little trout fishing.  This will be my first run through the mountains.  We'll see how it works out.

Sweet ride, gotta love them diesel's.  After the warranty is over the addition of a cold air intake, a high performance exhaust system, and a programmable tuner will really enhance your driving experience of that thing.
