Everyone,

I haven't been around much and I appoligize for that! New baby plus new job equals not much surfing time! Plus the shop is closed up, trying to sell the house and get a bigger shop!!

Doesn't stop me from getting a new wood hauler though! It is an 04 dodge ram quad cab with an 8 foot box. It has the 5.9L hemi v8 in it as well. It only has 8k miles on it as you can see in the last pic! We got 1500 more than blue book on our trade and paid 5k less than blue book on this so I think we did good.

It is my wife's daily driver, she already loves it!!

Very nice but don't get too far from a gas station.

Nice truck, but I think those 2 comments may be in direct conflict with each other.;)

Very nice but don't get too far from a gas station.

Computer calculated the 2 hour ride home at a 17mpg average at 75 mph most of the way... that is as good as our prior vehicle so I am not too concerned...

We tow a 5500lb camper a lot of weekends in the summer so the bigger gas tank will give us more range, but more $$$ to fill up... :)

She has driven the previous trucks for the past 2 years and I have driven the car... just doesn't make sense to put the miles on the truck that I put on the car :) I get to use it on the weekend though!

17 MPG @ 75 MPH, thats not fair! My 03 Hemi will only give me about 13 MPG on the Interstate and only if I'm not running the heater or the AC.
