I’m considering going from my stock 2017 Ram Tradesman to this 2019 Big Horn/Lone Star Ram...only $100 more a month....this thing is full of things mine does not currently have. I’m so tempted. But starting over...ugh. What say you goin from..

Give me some advice!
 
The one I have is completely blacked out, I love it. But it has manual seats, no CD player or receiver hitch. This one has the bigger stereo display, CD player, exterior mirror lamps, power back window, leather seats and steering wheel controls. I’m in love, but if I do it, they are putting different wheels in it.
 
I like the 2017 as well. I would ask myself a couple of questions.
How many miles does the 2017 have and how many more payments will I have to pay on the 2019 vs what is left on the 2017.

It really isn't just $100 more a month, it's $100 more a month for XX months then it is XX full amount payments more.

I should also say, the only reason I started looking was because two other people in my town have purchased the same truck since I bought mine. It’s driving me nuts. Lol

And you can no doubt link your cell phone to it to get navigation through car play or droid auto. New cars are rarely a real sound investment but I love the new bells and whistles.

Then again, I’ve never been good with my money so...

Yes.

And make sure to get a customized plate that says Juggs. Explain to the old lady at the DMV it's Marvel related. Get yo mind out the gutter.
 
Well, I did it. I negotiated some more. I have some different wheels coming in for it...on them. And they made it so my price did not go up but $27/month. Sweet deal for ole Juggs!

Good looking truck Juggs.

I'm trying to decide between a Ram 2500 Cummins and a Titan XD Cummins right now. Those Ram trucks are very nice.

I would much rather have the 6.7 in the dodge. You pull a large boat correct? I wouldn’t want a new 5.0 Cummins that only has a couple years of market testing now. Like they say, there is no replacement for displacement lol. Far more HP and Torque out of the Ram.

A Nissan with a Cummins...what has the world come to? Lol I’m obviously biased, but I think the New Ram is just slick man. I’ve never really been into the Titans, I would say if we’re talking foreign, I like the Tundra more. But those Rams! Yup yup yup

That Cummins in the Titan was actually made for Dodge originally... it's a V8 instead of a straight 6. The transmissions are the same in both.

The Ram definitely has more torque and power,,, but the Titan has more than enough for what I need. From my research so far... the Titan drives more like a vehicle you would want to drive everyday (better turning, less stiff, etc) and the Ram 2500 drives like you would expect a work truck to feel.

I'm still on the fence. There are things about both that I really like. Regardless of the one I decide on... it will have a Cummins and be 4 × 4. I will have to drive both before deciding of course.

If I could get my hands on the Titan Warrior... I would buy that right now. Problem is... they've been putting off the release date. Supposedly it's coming out in 2019. Check out that beast... there are several clips on the net showing it.

Yea, I knew it was a V8 but about 300-400 less ft# of torque and 80HP or so. The Titan was designed to be in the middle of full-size and heavy duty...call is a 2000 instead of a 1500 or 2500 lol. I read that it’s a smoother drive as well and has some nice stuff. But the new Rams can come with over 200 new features! I love me some gadgets lol
