Now if it was a Laramie with the air suspension sign me up!

Leasing is the way to go with these, I could lease a higher option Ram for $150 a month less than what I am paying. Chevy's are super cheap you can lease a Silverado for $2XX a month. Ford IDK.
Have to ask... how/when does the lifetime warranty end? Is it in effect as long as you remain the owner, independent of the mileage or age of the truck?

When I sell it, its unlimited years and miles. Its pretty much an extension of the new vehicle warranty that lasts 3 years or 36k miles so it covers everything, the only difference is you pay a $50 deductible. The $0 deductible plan is $2k more.

They make a fortune off them because most people trade their trucks in every 1-3 years.


If I were someone that put a lot of miles on a truck, like say 30k-50k a year and I bought myself a fully loaded Ecodiesel with air suspension I would absolutely buy it. But the number of people who do that are statistically small.

Nice looking truck! I don't much care for the lifted look all the new trucks are sporting now. I love the look of the early Dodge Dakotas with the nice long bed and modest cab....low to the ground too.

New trucks are all extremely tall these days. I had a lifted Ranger a few years back and this seems like it rides higher than that truck. I cant imagine putting a lift on one of the new F150's but I see them around from time to time.
