A New Truck for the New Year

Happy New Year, everyone!! Well, here it is, the new truck I've been telling you about. She's a 2013 Dodge Ram 3500 4x4 pickup. The color is Pearl Blue, which is essentially Navy Blue with metal flake. The new ride is powered by the Cummins 6.7L Turbo Diesel and has a payload of 4,300 lbs. And, yes, those are 18 inch tires on her.

I was pretty happy with the deal I got at the dealership. The icing on the cake for me was the lifetime warranty on the engine and drive-train. Superstition Springs Dodge, where I bought the vehicle, is the only MOPAR dealership in the state of Arizona that offers this warranty.

Next up is getting her outfitted with a set of Torklift Tie Downs, so I can haul the truck camper. Unfortunately, the old set of tie downs I bought for the Ford F-250 won't fit this truck. I will be selling this old set for $350.00. If you are interested, send me an email.

Also, when I picked her up I was pleasantly surprised to find that the bed was already wired with a 7 pin RV trailer outlet. This feature comes standard with the 5th Wheel/Gooseneck option, something I didn't know when I ordered this truck. I'll need to lengthen my camper's electrical umbilical as the outlet is further back in the truck bed, but that should only take a couple hours. And in case you're wondering, no, that isn't my 5th Wheel in the background. It belongs to my brother and sister in law.
