looks good. Yep buying an older diesel gets you out of having to mess with the DEF. Later RJD

Thanks for the kudos guys. We went from 2013 Ram 1500 to this.I can't get the hitch in until Next week.We are taking a truck only trip down to Grand Lake in Oklahoma.
47chevy what kind a fuel mileage are you getting.Told the wife it would do better than the 5.7 hemi.8-10 towing our 32' Chaparral.Maybe in the mid teens truck only.

Should do a lot better towing than 8. Would think in the 12s or better. Later RJD

Good looking truck, you will love it. As far as fuel mileage goes I have been averaging around 13 mpg while towing so I have been pleased with that.

We're on our 2nd Ram dually...have pulled only 5er's...Bighorn...Key Largo and now Cedar Creek....usually 9-10 on level roads....changes drastically once you get into the foothills north GA but handles the grades wonderfully....GL

Congrats and enjoy. Might check your vin# on Ram sight for any recalls.
I took the dive myself last month and replaced our old F350 with a new 2015 Ram 3500 4X4 6.7L diesel
Congrats
I'd post up a pic but there is something wrong with the forum pic download keeps saying 413 error pic to big but it isn't so there having issues.
