Question To Trade or not to Trade?

I have an 07 dodge ram 3500 Laramie, in aswesome condition-it has the 5.9 diesel and there just a little over 100000 (101255) miles on it. It runs greats & has some extras on it-too many to mention. Anyway, the dodge house called and wanted to knowif I would trade for a new one if they could get the numbers to work. I like my 5.9 I get almost 20 hwy, sometimes 21-get any where from 15-17 pulling a 3 horse with a small living area. I heard the new ones don't do so good & someone told they're just wanting the 5.9's cause they better than the 6.7's. Is this true?

Re: To Trade or not to Trade?

The insides are kick butt, but the outside I think it's ashame when a person really has to look to see if it's a dodge or a ford. Just heard the new D's don't even get 16 or 17 MPG. Think I'm gonna keep my 5.9!

Sounds to me like it was a slow sales day at the ole Dodge dealership and they were just trying to generate some new sales.

I'd go with keeping it, The inside's are definitely nicer, but I don't like the outsides that much either, Look to close to it's competition (Ford)
And if you keep up maintence and what not that diesel will last forever !
