Smile 6.7/68rfe due in monday

Got the itch today................................ and pulled the trigger. 3500 6.7 /68RFE SLT QC LWB DRW 4x4. 6 Disk CD MP3, U Connect Big Horn. Should be ready on Monday. Didn't take long to get a good price, which I was amazed because some of the people in here were getting there butt handed to them. Plus the dealers out here mark them up 5k OVER MSRP.








Saying goodbye to old reliable (2003 SLT 3500 SLT QC SRW 4x4 6spd man w/jake).

Congratulations, I'm jealous! I have no idea where mine is?? Should have shipped on the 26th is what the dealer told me.

Make sure you tell us all about it when you get it.

The aisen is only on the cab and chasis, the 68rfe is the pickup only tranny. It is a hybrid venture between benz and dodge

Dodge pickup trucks are sold at the nearest Dodge dealer. You go there with a checkbook in hand...and they trade you the check....for the truck.

Now, let me get this straight! Even I could go down to MY local Dodge dealer, with one of those check book things, and trade one of those check things for one of those trucks? That is amazing! What a country!

So how do you like it and what did you pay? Please do tell...

Mileage number yet? Towed anything?

I love my 305/555 srw but may need to trade her for a dually soon. Just trying to figure out how much this may cost me.

Sticker 54,285 Invoice 48,550 - 3,500 rebate = 45,050 Before trade.

Only have 300 miles on it. Over head says 14.4 mpg mostly rural, hilly and 25% stop and go. Have reset on the highway (not flat I-5 along Camp Pendleton Ca)and got 15+ at 65-70 and at 75-80 16+ which doesn't make sense but ok with me. Like you my 305/555 was alot higher but the new one is bad a** If you get a new one I would get the 4.10. I've driven both and with the 4.10 2000rpm at 73 mph the motor isn't lugging. The 3.73 only turnsaround 1700 at the same speed.
