no offense- but I fell in love with my first truck- and it was a 2007 quad cab 4.7L.
I loved the way it looked, I loved the way it sounded, I loved the way it drove, there was not a tiny thing I didn't love.
Even though the new RAM was out- I loved the 3rd generation and I bought it. And I was excited as the OP.
and I also say- If you get the best for the money you have, the money, you worked hard for, it is exciting even if it's just peanuts for somebody who can afford easy a new one.
and as I bought my 2 year old truck, which is what I can afford, without eating RAHMEN NOODLES for the next 7 years, I was excited like it would be a new one. For me, as for the OP, it's new and feels awesome.
Congrats to the truck!
