...on a one ton 2003 Dodge 4 Door shortbed with the Cummins & 6 speed manual.
With the purchase of the Jetta, we didn't need to have her daily-driver 4Runner and my '98 Dodge tow rig, so we consolidated them into one rig that can comfortably haul 4/5 people and still tow a trailer & rig. We traded in both vehicles towards the '03 & I was actually pleased with what the dealer paid us. I hate trading in vehicles because you usually get bent over in the end. We got what I paid for my Dodge & more than payoff for her 4Runner, so we did alright. The payment on the new Dodge is less than we were paying for both vehicles and the insurance will be less, so it made sense.
The new truck has 70k miles and has some great options; leather, cruise, power everything (including pedals!!), heated seats, etc. It also has a bed-liner, a Mag-Hytec diff cover in the rear, 3 gauges and get this... 5" exhaust. That's a bit much, the truck isn't chipped or anything. It sounds good, but I wouldn't have gone that big. The funny thing is that this thing is my wifes... and my car is the Jetta.
Anyway, here she is. Oh yeah.... and I got a trailer today too. It's been a long day.
