At least for now. I traded for a 2016 Dodge 2500 tradesman. It's got vinyl seats and a rubber floor mat! I didn't think the auto world remembered those. It's 4WD and has the 6.4 hemi. Pretty peppy truck ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

Seen a ad from Chebby dealer. Buy a Chebby and get a free puppy so you don't have to walk home alone. |

That is a nice looking truck. The only way I would pay the extra $$$ for a diesel is if I were going to keep it on the road all the time. ------------- Just an old country boy saved by the grace of God. |

Probably not. I've never been big into customizing. I like plain Jane myself. The less attention you draw the less attention people pay ------------- "Farming is a business that makes a Las Vegas craps table look like a regular paycheck" Ronald Reagan |

| Congrats on the new truck. I looked at those last year and I am impressed with those vinyl seats, with the way they look and feel I would rather have them than leather. |

| You will like it a lot, I have a 2015 3500 Tradesman and just bought a 2018 2500 Laramie Longhorn, both with the 6.4 Hemi, unless you will be pulling hard every day, I see no reason to go diesel in a pickup. |

If you are not concerned too much about feeding it, I think you will like the drive train. I have heard nothing but good about how those things pulling. Me, I am a Ford guy and tow my 10K fifth wheel with the 6.2 Ford. BTW, my puller before switching to gas was a diesel.  |
