    Still got that emblem that looks like karl's mom's uterus on the front? Yeah I wouldnt pay $48K.

    My truck has ass chillers too, I do not value anything made by dodge at 160% of the price of my truck. And that is from a person who owned a dodge diesel and loved it.

    Damn y'all, I would have got an ecoboost if I never asked but maybe I should stick with the 5.0. Does anyone have any insight on resale? I really don't plan on keeping this truck for very long.

    The only truck that keeps its resale worth a **** is a diesel and the Raptor. Outside of that they all tank.

    It's ridiculous what people pay for a used ( or new ) raptor.

    Just looked at my truck on kbb, private party resale for the eco-boost is $37.9 vs 5.0 is $35.9, incidentally that is more than I paid for my truck new even with 40k miles on it now.

    I bought mine in October 2012 from Champion Ford in Katy, they were dumping the 2012's at the time and had quite a few sitting on the lot, the price quoted from the online sales guy was lower than anyone else before I even haggled with them.

    What was the sticker and what did you pay? Not including ttl, if you don't mind.

    MSRP was $44,260
    I dont remember exactly what I paid, it was $31.something, the quote they gave originally was $33,362 via email. The price was easy, getting them to give me what I wanted for my trade-in, took a little more doing.

    That's pretty good, without a trade-in I'm figuring to get 10-11k off sticker, hopefully.

    I don't know how accurate KBB is anymore. Trade in values they suck at, but I wonder if Private Party values are realistic?

    If you're not going to keep it for long, why not buy used? Buying with resale in mind is dumb. My truck will be a ragged out piece of **** with a bajillion miles on it when I'm done with it so trim level and engine probably won't matter to whatever Mexican I sell it to.

    Or people who prefer to not have their interiors fall apart after a few years.

    But, I drive a GM product. Where fancy fuel saving technology (cylinder shutoff) actually equals spark plug oil fouling technology with no real mileage gains to show for it.

    Hell what do I care I have never kept a vehicle longer than 4 years

    But seriously I don't know what Fiat has done, but the interior of this Dodge is nicer than my Cadillac. Props to them, we will have to see how it holds up over time.

    Work is suppose to be switching me to a vehicle allowance for this truck so I'm pretty sure they will be expecting me to maintain a vehicle in nice or new condition. Also if they stop paying me I want to be sure I can sell the mother ****er.

    I definitely did not get this feeling from the 1500 I drove, however i do think the initial paint quality is better on the ram.

    dodge HD interior upgrades happened in 2010. I have the first year. They fall apart still. the brand new ones are only slightly nicer because of the bigger screen I couldn't tell anything different other than that. Coil sprung rear in a 2500 is interesting. curious how that works out.
