I've been lurking for the past couple of weeks, doing research. After narrowing down what we wanted, we started the search for the right truck. Last week, my husband and I pulled the trigger on a CPO 2016 1500 CC Laramie 4x4 EcoDiesel (damn, what a mouthful). It's a beautiful color, the Brilliant Black Crystal Pearl with the black leather interior. Love how this truck looks and drives. The diesel has a little turbo lag, but that's all. It moves down the freeway nicely. Looking forward to doing some towing in it. All stock... for now. We will see how long that lasts. ;-P

Have already taken it on it's first road trip. From San Diego to Palm Springs and back. Return trip, pushing 80-85 on the freeway and averaged 22.5 mpg over the course of the trip. Impressive mileage for such a big rig.

Here are a few pics of the truck.

Here is the rest of our fleet.

2012 Mercedes Benz E350 BlueTec. Another Diesel. Averages anywhere from 32-35 mpg in normal daily driving. Max has been 41 mpg over a distance of almost 400 miles.

This is my baby. 2006 Dodge Magnum SRT8. Daily driven, 170K miles on it and still running super strong. Mods include Borla exhaust, custom white letter tires, tint, 1971 Demon decals on the side and tailgate, and dual white stripes.

Welcome to the forum.

I like your Magnum. I also own an LX, a 2006 Chrysler 300 SRT8. Great cars!

Yes, I love my SRT8. I really wish the Magnum had continued with the refresh/redesigns that the 300 and Charger have gotten. I'd love to have a new Magnum, 6.4L, and all the updated electronics.
