My 07 Ram had 112,000 on it, and although it still ran great and wasn't giving me any issues... I just wanted something new. After all, it was due for it's first really major tuneup - which also included changing out almost all the fluids - antifreeze, transmission, front and rear diff's, transfer case, etc... Plus the tires were in need of replacing, and 20" tires aren't cheap. And lets see... what other excuses did I use to convince myself to buy a new truck... :D

Regardless of actual "need", I just traded my 07 in on a new 2014 Dodge Ram Sport. I dropped the 4x4 in favor of 2wd because I never really "needed" it in the 6+ years I had it. Used it, yeah. But didn't really need it. I could have avoided the places I chose to lock in the hubs and plow through. It just wasn't worth the extra maintenance, lower mileage, extra parts to wear, etc...

So, without further ramblings, I present my new truck - Color is "Maximum Steel". It's a dark metallic grey that kind of has a blued-steel look to it.

All the best,

....and yet I still drive the same truck as when you were here in VA!!:p Mine has 128k on it right now. I had a few problems pulling the boat in the mountains and now that we have a huge HD stock trailer, I am seriously considering an oil burner for my next truck. Put 2 horses on the trailer and even with the 3/4 ton, geared to tow (4.10), it works it hard. Got a check engine light coming back from Wisconsin keeping the truck at speed coming through the mountains. I imagine I had the cats cherry red!! Light went out after a few road trips without the boat.
 
Sweet truck. Like Barry, I'm a bit of a Ford loyalist, but Dodge makes a nice truck.
 
I had a '14 ram express which is basically the same as a sport, absolutely hated it!!! Plastic bumpers really!? On a truck that makes no sense, mine cracked the first month or so. I traded for a 2500 cummins
