Ever have one of those bad days at work. Well today was just that, nothing went right..... Then I came home and the Mrs. handed me a brochure for the new 2010 pick up she ordered me, well I've had this shat eatin grin on my face ever since.

2010 Dodge Crew Cab Sport with a hemi. Never owned a dodge in my life, usually always a Ford man then in 07 was my first chev and now a dodge.... What the heck I cant complain. :d

Those things go crazy fast, especially boosting the HP numbers from 345 to 390 allong with the change in transmission shifting management you will really like it. I thought my 2006 1500 was nice when I first got it, then I test drove a 2010,.. yikes.

Next thing you will be getting is a Superchips or Diablosport tuner :)

Dale - I hope you are gonna love that truck, I just ordered my new one and actually go look at it tonight to review the truck and figure out the final paperwork. They changed the newest suspension to coil overs with a gel, and when I test drove one the difference is night and day, even the wife in passenger seat could not believe the difference in the ride and handling.

The HP is nice but the mileage sometimes ain't. :) It will take a little getting used to the multi-displacement feature, kinda kicks in at times, but it does help. You will be surprised at the passing power down low where the hemi makes the most torque.

Hope you like it!!! You got a great wife there!

She did :), her money not mine.... I guess she is getting even for the new sled I bought her and the car the year before. I didn't have to beg, whine, snivel or nuthin.... 21 years of marriage, wish everything else was that easy :d.

She ordered it but who's paying for it?:d

you will love your truck
I have a 2009 Dodge 1500 QC 4x4 SPORT SLT-Stone White
It has DVD's in the headrests, carbon fibre inserts, running boards, chrome 20's, and a box liner
I did good on the price I think
They had it listed for $56k, i got it for $37k, delivered to my door in Saskatoon
bought from Derrick Dodge in Edmonton - it was one of their DDCT (Derrick Dodge Custom Trucks)

it really gets good mileage compared to my 06
that thing got like 8-11mpg MAX
I get 13-16 city and 17-20hwy
I got 18mpg pulling an 18.5ft boat through the pass on our way to Osoyoos this summer

see my profile for a few pics
But heres one for ya!

my plan this summer is for a levelling kit, 33's, black running boards and MAYBE rims...we'll see!!! haha!

Very nice, she's a keeper. I guess mine would do the same if she had money
