Roger that, thanks Pat. Planning to look at it this weekend.

I thought the same thing.

Some are all excited about the published mpg for the 2015. Will be interesting to see how they do in the real use. I was a little shocked at my friends 2014 Ram. Crew cab with the Hemi and got 23.2 on a 1200 mile trip. Carrying 2 adults and all their stuff. I kept quiet about my 5.0.

Heck -- I keep track of the fuel economy I get from every tank I've ever put in my '09 Ranger and the best I've ever done is 23.01 on a fill-up back in July of 2013! And that's running pretty much empty down the highway -- nothing but little old me behind the wheel and a suitcase in the back! More typical is around 21-22 mpg with that truck, and it's one heck of a lot smaller and lighter than a new Ram.

I'm really impressed with the rams. If I was buying a heavy duty it'd definitely be a Cummins powered one. They've really turned it around and no matter what fan boys say, it's a great thing because you want american companies to succeed.

With the 8 speed transmission and 3.21 or 3.55 rear end and cylinder deactivation mode i would hope it would be close to that.
