My bad dude... My schedule is so screwed up you have no ideas. Try working 20 days straight, 12 hour days, then 10 off, and trying to cram all you family and play time into those 8 or 10 days. It's rough.

Its all good! I totally understand. I only think its lame as I want to go but can't, so 22 other days of the month would have been lame too lol

while your on, what do you think about how your dodge tows? what motor does it have? what kind of mileage are you getting? thinking about buying a tow rig but can't decide between a big block and a diesel... Diesel is my first choice but they are $$$$ with high miles lol I will also be driving it everyday. (this is a long term thing, just planning now) my fear is not being happy after I own it...

HAHAHA
My dodge tows like a champ. For a 5.7 the Hemi has gobs of power. 75 80 up anything. I paid 20k for my 06 with 37k on it. It's a 3/4 ton. Gas mileage SUCKS. Like 12 around town. But the half tons half the deal where it will shut down four cylinders and get better mileage. Love the truck, pulls like a champ, but gas mileage sucks. But the half ton is the exact motor.

cummins with a chip!!! my work truck(2010 ram) is freakin quick and the other day i could barely notice towing the trailer with the rhino on other than the hitch was loose and the trailer was bouncing but it was a bigger trailer too. this truck almost kept up with my friend 454 camaro. lotsa power in the cummins. i've driven the hemi rams and they are so weak compared to the diesel, i think my milage is around 19 highway and 16 city roughly. i've seen it get up to 23 on the highway

Thanks, Just what I wanted to hear. I may be towing 2 rigs at a time and my buddy bringing his toy hauler to sleep in... I just don't want to pony up and buy a diesel... I may end up just putting it off until after I buy a house, but don't want to lol I've heard 1/2 Tons would not be a good idea with possibly towing 8k-10k lbs...

Right on! I Love the cummins! But I hate the price tag. people want a lot of money for them with tons of miles lol I like the mileage though... but may not end up driving it everyday, which could make me not care at all.... after all my XJ gets 13-15MPG depending on the grade and how spunky I feel. its not killing me yet, and would be more understandable with a full size truck lol

haha, nice try Shawn! I wont buy a ford. not my thing If I end up with something other then a Dodge it will be a Chevy, Duramax, or a 454 ect. I Don't think I'll be happy with anything smaller then a 3/4 ton. it also needs to be a 4 door lol
