Do I need to report you for name calling or are you going to report yourself? You figure out how to spend your 73,000 and I'll decide how I spend my $73,000 okay!

You certainly have a thin skin Mr. Onion. Nuts or Jose', which one offends you? if so report away. I look at those who 'report' things like that as just plain snitches. There are a number of them on here to be sure.

I hope he was only joking about reporting you? No way Jose is a saying from way back.

More pot stirring and projection?
Cant you just stop being so arguementative so the threads can continue without being locked?

Just built a new one online. Used the standard 6.7 instead of high output to put it comparable to my 2012 6.7 HO. The 2022 would have power folding mirrors, rain sense wipers, auto high beams, power release tailgate, and an extra 50lbs of torque. Everything else is the same. 2022 is $82,815. So very much the same truck for $29k more.

I like the older Dodges & Rams, but I think if you sat in a 2022, you’d find it to be a completely different truck.
We also both know all trucks are up considerably in price. Heck my 2020 Ram 5500 Cummins Laramie seems like a bargain at $68,000 2 years ago. Now its closer to $80,000.
The Tradesman package comes with more standard features all the time.

Watch out for one thing that tripped me on my truck. Ram will say “power, folding mirrors”. What they are is actually power mirrors, that do fold, but manually.
I thought my trucks would have mirrors that fold by power, but it didnt come that way.

My 2012 is in rams 4th gen series so I wouldn't consider it an older truck in comparison. I would agree with that if comparing the 3rd gen series to the new ones. One of my best friends who also works for me bought a new one last summer. I've towed with it and ride in it often. Dont get me wrong, its an increadiblly nice truck, but once you take away the gigantic touch screen and the extra gadgets listed earlier they are still very similar in comfort, noise, and towing ability. (I don't need power folding running boards, my solid chrome boards get me in the truck just fine). Don't get me wrong I would love to have the self leveling air bags, all the extra cameras, adaptive cruise control, etc but all that stuff adds up to a $90k truck now with no discounts off sticker at the moment. Going back to my original point, a new truck with the same options as mine ( leather, heated/cooled seats, premium sound, etc) is currently $30,000 more. When driving the two I just don't see that kind of money on improvements. They are still very similar trucks when outfitting with the same options. Add in those extras now offered and it's plus $40k.

Did you know there is a 25% import tax on foreign made light trucks? It's been in effect since 1964, and limits foreign competition, keeping US prices high.

Did you know that China forces our companies to manufacturer products in China as opposed to exporting there in order to be competitive through unfair trade practices then steals or copies the tech we bring over?
