I'm going to make up my mind by this weekend. I'm down to two trucks that are on dealer lots, 15 Ford and 14 Ram

2015 F250 XLT CCSB $37,600 after rebates (msrp $45,205)
6.2
3.73
black side steps
upfitter switches
isync radio

tow mirrors
brake controller
drop in bed liner

I would consider placing an order if I NEED the 4.30 gears though....
I'm going to test drive one last Ram 2500 before making up my mind...
This one is: $34,200 (after rebates) (msrp $43,060)
2014 2500 CCSB ST tradesman (no chrome bumpers or grille)
6.4
4.10's
wheel to wheel side steps
5.0 touchscreen radio
spray in bed liner
trailer brake controller
no tow mirrors
painted steel wheels
