Almost but Dodge doesn't make one as good as mine any more or include a lifetime warrnaty on the drive train.
I got a 2009 dodge Ram 1500 hemi Quad cab with the TRX package. The 2013 models don't have 1/2 the stuff on it that mine does and they don't have the TRX package or lifetime warranty on the drive train anymore. No wonder they were working hard trying to get mine. Mine still looks great! I got leather wrapped steering wheel,remote starter. Wheel well trim. They 2013's look real nice but nothing like mine for the price I paid. Its only got 48,000 miles. I was getting nervous as I'm hoping to retire in 5 years. Don't want a high mileage vehicle when I retire. I may wait till I get closer or even when I retire.
It was a typicl horrible experience. I felt like a piece of meat and th salesmen a pack of dogs...relentless and annoying. They tried to push the deal w/out telling me what I was getting for my truck,what I was paying for their truck and at what rate. I mentioned that to them when I said not intrested and why.

Oh no is he wearing you down? I absolutely hate buying cars or anything requiring a sales man. I tell them flat out that I'm looking at multiple dealers so it's in their best interest to give me the best deal the first time. I don't buy new cars.
Is your truck a diesel?

Hey BI - that color is going to show off anything "dropped" on it... like when you park under that tree...
You can have it cheap.
You can have it fast.
You can have high quality.
PICK ANY 2....
