Thinking about getting a new Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins truck. I know I want the six speed manual and the 3.73 rear end, but I'm wondering about other options. For those of you who have one, what options do you wish you had? Or conversely, what do you have that you find wasn't worth the money? Are there any "must have" options?

I thought this thread would pique your interest Randy
Thanks for the suggestions. It's fun spending somebody elses money ain't it? You're not kidding about sticker shock. I've never spent more than $22k on a vehicle in my life. I have a Line-X on my current truck and it's been great, so no doubt I'll go that way again. I won't tow very often so the 3.73 axle should be fine. What is the Uconnect option?

I'm not doing a trade-in. As much as our two Fords have been in the shop lately we need a third vehicle

Thanks I keep reading about guys who put zillions of miles on their vehicles and never have any trouble. I wanna be one of those guys! It's not that they have let us down a lot, it's just that lots of things on them have broken and things that are broken drive me nuts. I never expect to find the holy grail of auto manufacturers, but keep hoping for better

My eyeballs nearly fell out when I saw a 3/4 ton equipped the way I want would cost nearly $45k. YOWSA. I was expecting around $35k. Time for plan B, whatever that might be.

Thanks for the offer Randy. I'm gonna spend a few weeks gathering information and thinking about it so I'm not quite ready to pull the trigger yet.

Dave, you're not kidding. Trucks used to be the economical workhorse transportation choice. After spending some time on Edmunds it's looking like if I buy a used 2000 model I can still afford to put up a new shop to house the tractor (which lives in the garage now).

Hey Chief, what do you figure a ballpark price for a 2002 equipped like your friends truck might be worth?
