From what I gather... This new crop of trucks are the cheapest made they've ever been.

The only one I'd consider owning right now is an F-150 and I'm a Chevy guy.

yeah the 1/2 tons are cheap. 3/4 and 1 tons are still getting a pretty good price. You can save some coin on them though. I'm pricing out 3/4 tons right now so we'll see which company wants business the most.

I'm finding new / leftover V-8 Dodge Rams in the $11-13K range.

And seeing as 2008 was the last year for the V-8 / manual transmission combo, I'm very tempted.

The company's inevitable collapse won't affect immediate parts availability, right? Not having a warranty on a late model Dodge, though, that could be bad...

You could always get a warranty through a third party. Allstate actually sells warranties that have pretty good coverage at a decent price.

Don't get me going there.

Price of mine has TANKED w/ the way Dodge, Ford, and Chevy are practically GIVING the fucking things away.....

Sucks cause it's a nice truck w/ the HD 2500 chassis.... but it's a 1500 Mega Cab.

LOL...ur wife could prolly kick ur ass.

Don't get your hopes up on the manuals. If your going to get a Manual, make sure to test ride it for a good amount of time. The GMs and Dodges have alot of slop in the transmission / rear end and its annoying as fuck. I have a 6cyl. 4.2L 2006 F-150 with a stick and there is no slop at all.
