, stop by my place. 
Makes me wish is bought Camo! Looks good. That's a lot of basket! I'm getting my basket in tomorrow.
I'd definitely agree on that point. Might even look into cutting some rubber to line the bottom of the drop basket.
I agree about today's pickups being amazing.... They really have come a long way with them. They drive so quiet and smooth now... In the ecodiesel, you can't even hear them run from inside. And the mileage they get is literally unbelievable. I've driven 3 of them so far. I wanted one when they first came out, but you're right about the high demand. They were all at sticker price, which is way more than I'm willing to pay. Now that they have been out a couple years, there are rebates and deals to be had. The 2017's are coming and there are still quite a few 2016's on the lots. However, my local dealer only has one and it's used. I found a dealer that has 3 or 4 that I can (almost) afford - with some pretty deep discounts. I can get in a base model truck for $31k - $33k, ecodiesel of course.As an unrepentant, three-time serial Dodge/Ram/Cummins buyer, I have been interested in the new diesel half-ton, although it doesn't fit my needs.
The only negative I've heard about it is that it is in such high demand that discounts are hard to come by.
That's a pretty positive negative, I reckon...
Today's pickup trucks are just flat amazing. 'Course they oughta be, at ~$50k a pop.

You and I made money on that investment. Call it a bailout, but they paid back all that money with interest and are as solvent as ever. And perhaps you're too young to remember, but your beloved Dodge/Chrysler brand was the first auto maker to stick there hand out to the government for a bailout. I'm not criticising Chrysler, I've had good and bad autos in all brands.
Haha, its ok buddy, it's your thread. I wouldn't have wanted either Chrysler or GM to have failed.
True enough, threads are always veering off course. Chrysler got some bailout money this time around also. But financial experts have argued that had GM and Chrysler both been allowed to fail, that it would have brought down Ford as well, and been the end of the American auto industry. That would not have been good for America. If it can be determined that individuals mismanaged or worse causing the trouble to begin with, then they sure should be punished, that just doesn't happen much. Obama sent no one on Wall Street to prison.It's everyones thread.
I've never taken offense to a thread that I started moving off course, unless someone is inappropriate or disrespectful to any forum user - definitely not the case here.
I never wanted them to fail, however, I have great respect for companies with effective management. And when management is poor, they need to be held accountable. Ford was able to restructure, and survive without bailout or gov. loan - and ever since that happened, I have really considered purchasing a new Ford. But I guess I'll show my hypocrisy when I skip the Ford to buy the Ram. LOL Too bad Ford just doesn't have what I want.
Let us know....
