She's a 2013 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 pickup. The color is Pearl Blue, which is essentially Navy Blue with metal flake. The truck is powered by the Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel and has a payload of 4,300 lbs. Yes, those are 18 inch tires. The icing on the cake for me was the lifetime warranty on the engine and drivetrain.

Congrats Mike!! Beautiful new truck.....Im sure it will treat you well. I love the lifetime warranty. I would spend thousands more for a new truck with that kind of warranty.
