After much deliberation I decided it was time to trade in my baby. 2012 6.7 CTD that I've had since new in 2013.

She was a great truck and I'm really going to miss her.

One last pic of the old girl [emoji22]

I traded for a 2019 2500 Laramie Longhorn with the 6.4L HEMI, 8sp trans and 4.10 gears.

I am amazed at the power and throttle response of the new power train.

Very nice rig. I really like the factory rims on it. I’m trying to find a set for my Tradesman to replace the 18 inch ones I have.

Very nice. The response of the 6.4 with the 8 speed tranny is awesome.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I've been reading up on the PC but it will be a while before I do any mods. I deleted and tuned my last truck by it's second oil change and want to see if I can hold out a little longer this time.... But we'll see. LOL

The ride difference is night and day. My 2012 rode like a dump truck compared to this new truck. That and the throttle response of the 6.4 is amazing compared to the tuned diesel, this thing is ready to jump the moment you touch the skinny pedal. I guess after so may years I just got used to it but once I drove a new one I was hooked.

OH and by the way I have a 2016 Laramie same color,maybe that is why I like your truck so much .But your truck has the nice front end grill,lights, looks really nice, so now you got me thinking about a new one also.:waytogo:

Congrats on the new truck! The 6.4/8HP combo really make for an awesome truck. Like you said, it’s eager to hit it hard. If there’s any torque management it’s not noticeable that’s for sure.
