I now have training wheels!

Its been a wish of mine for a while now to have a 3500 dual wheel pickup. My 2500 has done well with our 10klb trailer for years but the bug has bit us to go a little bigger. I figured start with the truck and then the camper. So I found exactly what I wanted in a new left over 2014 Ram 3500 up in Tulsa at a fantastic deal. The DW and I made a day of it and took the trip up there. We drove a 14 and 15 equipped just alike and could not tell any difference inside or out except about a $16k price difference. This thing rocks! It rides better than my 08, has more power and the Aisin trans is spot on in up and down shifts compared to the 08. The 2 stage exhaust brake is much better and the LED lighting inside and out is awesome. After getting all the goodies on it this weekend I thought I would post a few pics. Waiting on my new B & W 3600 hitch is killing me because I can't wait to pull something!

    Yep the wheels are American Racing ATX series wheels made for a dually. The dealer had a buyer for this truck but he wanted these wheels put on, Nitto Terra LT tires, front windows tinted darker and a spray in bed liner. They had all this done and then the guy could not pay. The truck sat for months in limbo and finally the dealer had enough and I got the benefit. I like the wheels but wanted to check the weight rating before I took it. They are rated at 3200 lbs each so they match the factory wheel rating.
  • Whoa there!! That truck looks way to nice to use. You may want to consider storing it indoors, and just take a spin, on the 4th of July.

    Great truck!!
