I am trying to order a new 3500 and I have not been able to find a dealer that will say if I order it today, it will come through with the new HO package. Maybe they are trying to get rid of their old inventory, but they tell me the HO isn't in the system yet.

I noticed the ram web site is even confusing about referencing the torque numbers. I think ill sit down with the local dealer this week and see if we can get it ordered for what I want to pay. It builds out on the net for about 56. I want to be in the mid 40s. Ill let everyone know what happens. Thanks for input.

The dealer here in NJ is only coming up with 5k off MSRP on a 55k truck. I would gladly drive to OH to save another 4k. I agree with your assessment of the Ram. They did a nice job on the interior.

Ill go tomorrow and see what I can do. Not terribly concerned about trading the aspen. They're somewhat in high demand since there aren't many out there. I had a cousin that leased one and dealer paid him 2000 just to return it 6 months early. Shouldn't have trouble selling a clean dually either. Ill post my numbers I get from the dealer.
