Red face anyone wanna go shopping for trucks with me...hahahaha

i am so totally clueless...ugh i hate doing this alone. i have NO clue what i am looking for now. new or used, what year, what i should be looking for. so many things. since they have mail order brides you think they have mail order grooms...hahahaha TOTALLY KIDDING!!! hopefully i wont get screwed at the dealership, but i probably will, because they will know i know nothing about trucks.

I would try to find an 05-07 with the "5.9". It is a better motor than the 6.7.

You will have a much larger selection of trucks in the Dallas Fort Worth area too.

What I did was go online, http://www.edmunds.com/new/2008/dodg...40/prices.html You pick your options, then tell them WHAT you want to pay. The dealers will be calling you day and night. I got my 05 new, for 32,0000 out the door with NO problems. You want to talk to the fleet salesman, his job is to move inventory.Well good luck, Bryan

Or just call Dave Smith Motors and see what he has. He is about the largest Dodge dealer in the US and peddles alot of trucks and always has the best price, some come will match, but I haven't heard of anyone beating his price. Go to Dodge.com, build the truck you want and then call him. His website is US Auto Sales, so google that and it should get you what you need. If you are buying used, that is a whole nother ball game. Scotty
