Got the deal done and brought home the new CTD tonight.

2017 Laramie, CTD, in Delmonico Red Pearl with the Sport Appearance package. Mods start tomorrow with a level kit, my 35's go on and my Weathertech vent visors will also go on.

Before I put the 35's on I'll get a good burnout video taken. :naughty:

Sweet! Wasting no time on the mass I see! I have always had a thing for that color especially all color matched

Thanks, guys.

I'll try to keep this one unscathed. I just can't do much about other people not paying attention to what they are doing when behind the wheel.

How come my mod list gets so long right after I buy a new (or new to me) vehicle? :D

Awesome! That's a badass rig. Are you deleting at all? How were the rebates this time of year with diesels?

I expect I'll do a delete eventually.

March was "Truck Month" and my total rebates were $4250 from FCA + loyalty cash of $500 + dealer incentive of $1250 & they threw in the step bars.

Sticker was $66,925 and the final purchase price was $53,766 after we negotiated the purchase price, then deducted the incentives.

I'm still getting used to it but the CTD definitely has more grunt!

I think the transmission is still learning its way relevant to how I drive. It's starting to shift up and shift down like it should after a few trips here and there.

I'm gonna give it a road trip mileage test next week. I have a 630+ mile round trip to do next week. We'll see how it does.

I got the OEM wheels and sucky Transforce tires off today, had the 2" spacer level kit (with shock relocation bracket) installed, had the alignment checked and the Walker Evans Racing wheels with BFG K02 wheels and tires mounted on the truck.

Much much better ride due to the lower PSI tires (with a warning showing up and I'll see if I can't fix that), the steering is better and I like the look. I think I'll stick with flares that are on it, get some universal fit flaps and cut them to fit on all four corners.
