You COULD, but you would get about 5mpg doing it, and it would take you a half hour to get to 55mph.

Well my trip to the stealer was a complete waste of time. They said new 11.5 motor not available to order til may for june build and july delivery. AND WILL ONLY BE AVAILABLE IN MANUAL TRANNY. Not sure I believe it.

They also said they don't even have pricing on it so couldn't even start to negotiate that.

Haven't started my dually in a while so I took a drive and the wife out to dinner in it. May just keep it.

Actually, it's the opposite. It will only be available with the automatic. I have found all the dealers to be worthless when it comes to the facts.

Why would you put such an ugly f---ng truck in front of a good looking boat?

He's wrong about the trans, will only be for the auto, so I wouldn't believe him on the date availability either.

Yep. Like I said...worthless. It seems I always have to educate the salesman on the product he's supposed to be selling me. It's not like they're all that busy. They could take a little time to learn.

I'm not sure what I want to do. I drive about 26,000 miles per year. The Hemi in my Aspen is a gas hog. And will be worthless by the time I pay it off. Maybe I'll keep three vehicles. I don't tow much at all. Perhaps I'll go back to looking for an Acura MDX or something as my daily driver. I'm not impressed with the MPG on the RAM and $3.50 for a gal of fuel....

Either the salesman are that bad or they won't take orders till the current inventory is gone, or both. I'm thinking if you bide your time, you may get a helluva deal on an 11.0. I'm in no rush at this point.

The salesman who sold me my 2006 300 Hemi last year had like eight Salesman of the Month plaques in his cubicle. We looked at five other Mopars and he took at least two minutes per vehicle to tell me about them. I knew he did his homework and it gave me confidence in his knowledge.

I hear ya on the gas hog Hemi last time I filled up I got 13mpg. And you'll have to do some deletes to get the 6.7 Cummins mileage up from dismal. You could always look for a 5.9 but they're getting harder and harder to find.

I think you should trade that Aspen on the Ford Fusion hybrid and keep your truck.

I don't keep MPG records, but my overhead says 13 average as well. Market is kind of hot for it. Think I need to sell it before I drive it into the ground. It's got 52,300 miles on it in less than two years. Never a problem though. It's been a great vehicle. As everyone knows, needs change. I was inbetween boats when I got it. Bought a 29OL and Aspen pulled it fine. Bought the 342 and had to buy a truck. Now I see no reason to have two big gassers in the family. But need room for kids, skis, etc, etc. I drive a lot for work too so the better MPG the more I keep in my pocket.

Just got back from another dealer. This guy seemed to know more than the others so far. He said customer orders can be placed April 1, but the dealers are able to order now to replenish inventory.
