So with all your advice on here, I was able to find a left over and score a good deal. I really like express trucks, they are simple, and have what I want with the 20" wheels and painted bumpers. I was working with a budget in mind. So I picked up with 2017 Express Crew Cab 4x4 v6 Pentastar for $29500. I got the correct trade for our paid off caddy SRX, and they got me 2.69% for 60 months for our local CU.

So a few things, I needed 4x4 and crew cab, wanted 20" wheels, wanted a sprayed in liner, bigger fuel tank 32 gal, and this truck also came with factory all weather mats. I have had a hemi and they are wonderful, but I don't tow or race, and the 3.6 with 8 speed gas mileage being noted on here was appealing, so the motor was not a deal breaker. Plus this 3.6 drives phenomenal. I did not want the diesel. I figure 32% off an express sticker, a brand new crew cab for under 30K is pretty smoking. The dealer Healey in Beacon NY was wonderful to deal with on the transaction. Thanks guys for all the advice and the percentage off I could get!

4x4? What year? the cheapest I could find a hemi for was about 32500 and it had 17's. In addition I have to account NY's wonderful 8.125% Sales tax on the difference from trade.

Looks like a great base truck. Should look super sweet with a few modest touches... Great job.

Fine looking ram. I am constantly amazed with the pstar engine. Open the hood and to me it looks tiny, yet puts out more power than the 350 engines from the 1990s. I have the pstar in my wrangler.
