First, if your not a big fan of red don't get it.

Out of those three I really like the black. Just remember with the 6.7L dont expect the greatest fuel mileage since it does have the emissions **** on it.

Well all three are 2007 6.7s. At a min I would have guys pull a report for the trucks to see what kind of maintenance was done on them. I would definately have the dealership pull the reports, if able, with you standing there to make sure nothing gets changed on the reports.... While the 6 speed autos are nice, the 6.7s have had some emissions issues. And if fuel mileage is your concern, the 6.7s have not had the best track record for good mileage. Red one looks goofy with the back nerf bars, white looked good, black truck's paint job looked horrible, lots of micro-stratches in the paint. Of course, white does hide imperfections in the paint better.

A couple of guys have had some luck with the deletes getting them better fuel mileage. I would say if warranty is a big issue for you, this is one of the mods that they may invalidate your warranty for. And I heard some guys get consistent Check engine lights after the deletes, but really you should check with the fellas in the 6.7 forum.

The add says the red one has an 8 foot bed but it looks like a short bed to me. Ya the black one kinda looks like its been buffed poorly. If you end up with the black or the white one I would get them to change the chrome clad wheels out for some of the aluminum ones like the red one has.

I can't believe you wouldn't be better off buying a brand new truck with the deals out there and most likely get better financing than buying one of the trucks you are looking at in those adds.

If you buy a new truck that costs more but get better financing and a lower payment ............ It might be worth checking into.

Yesterday I got a flyer in the mail from Tomball Dodge for 60% off MSRP on Quad Cabs. It didn't give a lot of details but give them a call.

BTW, my Dad bought his 6.7L MC from Appel and they treated him good.

go to autotrader.com there is a bunch of what you are looking for at a decent price. you mite want to think about a drw even tho you dont need it sometimes you can get them cheaper then a single wheel because they arent as popular, they get about the same mileage
