Sounds like you want another money pit.
Either way, you need better pictures of that beast
I've thought about doing the same thing a few times. A few of the local lots always have a 3rd gen hemi and they're not too badly priced. But I like mine too much to get rid of any time soon.
I'll gladly take those tow mirrors off your hands if you do get rid of it
If you can do it for cash...fine. No payments.
Deployment? To where and for how long? (we don't need the answer)
If overseas, why buy something only to have it sit until you return? In fact, I would sell the current truck right before I left and drop (suspend) the insurance until I had a new ride.
And dittos on the crappy pics
If you want to get into another Dodge Ram truck, look for a low-mileage 2004-2006 Ram 2500 or 3500 with the 5.9 Cummings diesel.
Those trucks are highly sought after (by theft reports).
No stupid emissions systems, and the 5.9 is a proven 250,000 mile engine with proper maintenance.
My 2005 pulls a 7,500 lb trailer without difficulty, and runs at 16 miles per gallon of diesel fuel. Unloaded, it cruises at 70 mph at 21 mpg.
I'll keep that truck until the seats collapse, and the door handles fall off.
Then, I'll just replace the seats and door handles.
It is the last truck I will ever own.
I have an 01 and my dash has almost completely disintegrated but everything else is good.
The '03-'06 1500's and '07 2500's and up do. Bit they're not near as bad as our body style
Luckily, the dash in my '97 still looks like brand new
