I have been owning and driving Mopar vehicles since 1970; my first was a 1964 Plymouth Fury 4-dr. hardtop. Since then, my vehicles (personally owned and/or "company") vehicles have ranged from 4-cyl sub compact to 440 CID Imperials, most recently Jeep Grand Cherokees.

Today, I became the proud owner of a new Ram Laramie 2500 Crew Cab (6' 4" box) with the 6.7 Diesel, and am loving it already. Not planning any "extras" yet, except for a tonneau cover and bed mat. My wife and I decided on this truck as it is extremely comfortable and will be used (eventually) to pull a travel trailer. We are both retired and looking forward to it.

Please bear with me as I will have some questions as time and mileage go on. This is the first Diesel powered vehicle I have owned. I have driven various Diesel powered Fire/Rescue/EMS vehicles over the years (none of them Dodge/Ram), and the Cummins is by far the best yet... that thing is a beast. :)

Congrats on the truck! I remember my first car, actually truck. It was a 1985 Dodge Ram D50 4x4. Awsome little truck. Second car was a 1996 Dodge intrepid, big old boat. Then I moved to a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. Now I'm in a 2015 RAM 1500. All mopar!!

What kind of travel trailer are you looking into getting?

I still have some time before retirement and when the time comes my wife and I will be getting a 2500 or 3500 to tow a travel trailer and travel. Right now we are actually looking into getting our first trailer, probably going to just be a little pop up but it works for now.
