Looking at a 4x4 crew short bed six speed man. Looking for suggestions. Oh it's going to be a 2500.

Are they all high output? Is there 2 choices of gear ratios for the manual trans? Should I buy a 2012?

auto's only get the HO option. 3.42 or 3.73 for manual truck gearing. I don't know enough about any changes for the '12 trucks. I did notice the cruise controls are back on the steering wheel, not on a little stalk anymore.

How is the auto tranny in these trucks. I have the 48RE and it has been flawless so far.

For '12 the controls are back on the wheel? That is enough for me to wait to get a '12. Not a fan of the stick.

Yeah, I saw a couple pics on some dealer website. Cruise is back on the wheel. I've been looking at moving up to an '11 or '12. I really like the cruise on the wheel, just don't know if I want to wait for all the rebates and incentives to kick in on the '12s or just go ahead with an '11.

Anybody know what invoice pricing is on an '11 vs '12 3500 Laramie 4x4 crew long bed with the g56? Cruise control on the steering wheel might be nice, but it might not be worth the price diff.
