Not that it matters any, but what was it that made your 2012 inadequate? I don't blame you at all for going for the 2013 - I might even consider a Ram next time around - but something must have been leaving you wanting with your 2012 and about the only difference is more HP, torque, GVWR, GCWR and so on.
Nothing was wrong with the 12'...color was perfect, the ride was great, the interior was awesome, Longhorn with the cowboy leather etchings....absolutely zero wrong with it, BUT, I HAD ordered a 13' and when it came in, as I've stated, I saw it, loved the color, knew that it was what I had wanted...and I was cut probably the best deal I've ever been given on a vehicle....bar none...
There was nothing "inadequate" about the 12...not a good choice of words...it would be more about me and the way I am...those that know me, ie, people that work with me, friends and family that have known me for years know how I am about vehicles...I'm the nut who purchases one every 1 to 2 years..the 12' was more truck than my 10' and the 10 served me great with zero problems for almost 2 and 1/2 years.....
Guess you'd have to know me...As you may know, before I purchased the 12, I test drove a 13 Ford Dually King Ranch and a 13' Chevy 3500 D/A Dually in LTZ trim and I ended up getting the 2012 because I didn't have a price on the 13 I had ordered after a month..and it ended up coming in almost TWO months late!....and as usual, Ford didn't want my money...The Chevy was awesome, but I liked the looks of the Ram better, which also should show again, didn't really care about the race to the top of the mountain..I picked the truck that came in 3rd.
I purchased the 13 because, "in case", just "in case" I purchase a bigger 5er...I have the truck for me...I just like the looks of it and the MSRP sticker said, "Built for "my name" across the top..HEY.. and the deal.....thus the reason I only had the 12' for 4 months and 3800 flawless miles...I just wanted to be a part of all that technology Ram was putting into their trucks.
"inadequte"....not the 10, not the 12 and I'm hoping the 13' will be every bit the truck the 10' was and more...:)NC Hauler wrote:

Well one thing is the 2013 will be one of the shortest model years in history, 2014 order date is set for June for delivery in August IIRC. It will be a collectors item like a rare coin :B
Hey, they're calling the ones that were produced in April 2013.5
model's..so I ordered a 13' and got a 13.5..ALRIGHT:)- Well one thing is the 2013 will be one of the shortest model years in history, 2014 order date is set for June for delivery in August IIRC. It will be a collectors item like a rare coin :B
- Very impressive. If my dealer would give me what NC worked out, I'd probably look to get a '13.
- How bout a general guy saying this new ram sounds increadibly well engineered.

I was not offended at all so don't worry about me. I like tires that go around with a trannie and an engine. Always have. Really I think nobody cares what you do but it fun to make ya think that. You work you spend and that used to be the American way of life once.
