I stopped reading on page 3 where you stated you weren't going with the HEMI.
To each their own, but IMHO, buying a 1500 RAM w/out the HEMI is like...
... I dunno, buying a horse without a saddle? lol
IIRC, the price diff on a NEW truck for HEMI or "other" was $1k
I personally can't rationalize the 4.7L over the HEMI on any sane level.
*EDIT*
Guess I shoulda kept on reading!
NICE truck!
Good choice!
