From what I gather... This new crop of trucks are the cheapest made they've ever been.

The only one I'd consider owning right now is an F-150 and I'm a Chevy guy.

yeah the 1/2 tons are cheap. 3/4 and 1 tons are still getting a pretty good price. You can save some coin on them though. I'm pricing out 3/4 tons right now so we'll see which company wants business the most.

I'm finding new / leftover V-8 Dodge Rams in the $11-13K range.

And seeing as 2008 was the last year for the V-8 / manual transmission combo, I'm very tempted.

The company's inevitable collapse won't affect immediate parts availability, right? Not having a warranty on a late model Dodge, though, that could be bad...

You could always get a warranty through a third party. Allstate actually sells warranties that have pretty good coverage at a decent price.

Don't get me going there.

Price of mine has TANKED w/ the way Dodge, Ford, and Chevy are practically GIVING the fucking things away.....

LOL...ur wife could prolly kick ur ass.

Don't get your hopes up on the manuals. If your going to get a Manual, make sure to test ride it for a good amount of time. The GMs and Dodges have alot of slop in the transmission / rear end and its annoying as fuck. I have a 6cyl. 4.2L 2006 F-150 with a stick and there is no slop at all.
