I love your truck. It was my inspiration before I bought mine. I just couldn't find a sport version at the time so I bought a laramie instead.

I don't like the chrome on mine whatsoever, or the chrome strip around the tail lights.

I like white, especially when its clean. You can't beat the white on black, it just looks sooooo good.

I would love to get a white sport version but don't necessarily want to deal with trade in or get screwed and end up paying more in the end.

Thanks...appreciate that.

4wd '14 w/ 6-speed, anti-slip, and 3.55's, and have driven similar w 3.92's. While I do like the off the line torque you get with the 3.92's I'll say I always like that small percent of added fuel mileage. Then again I'm planning on not lifting (actually may just level it rear coils - GASP!) or going with any tire/wheel size other than my OE 20's and tire size so YMMV.

Go with what your gut feel is, that said I'll happily point out that while the specs and mileage are similar, your existing truck actually has LESS annual miles on it, but like you say, new one would carry the warranty longer... (28k/4years vs 28k/2years)

p.s. IN FOR THE PICS. ;)

Where are you located that trading in your 14 for a 16 will decrease your payments? Ive got a 15 laramie with everything except airride id trade in for a loaded sport. Haha

One of the big things for me is the colour. I love black trucks but won't buy anymore of them because they are such a pain the ass to keep clean and wash...if you're OCD like I am.

In regards to the gears....the 3.92's rip the pavement off the ground in comparison to the 3.21's. I've driven both & would never go without the 3.92's.

It really is a night & day difference.

White is worse....every rain you get dark streaks down the body from every rubber or black painted part on the truck and the badging...............

Every trip through the dealer is REALLY expensive. Look beyond payment. Your current truck is a nice ride.

All these talks of 3.92 and 3.21, what does that all mean?



Is their a huge difference?



I know how you feel. I bought my truck this time around to make sure it had the 3:21. I tow light boat and mostly commute to work on the highway so I wanted the low gears.
