So, the word might be out. My jeep is officially gone and my new tow rig is here.
Um...what?

Beautiful truck, love that color 
More specs on the truck? What size tires are those?

It's a 2005 quad cab short bed, 5.9l diesel cummins, automatic. It has a 120k on the odometer.
The truck has a procomp leveling kit up front with 35x12.5x17 cooper all terrains. It rubs just a hair when turning. I don't like that so I'm looking into some solutions.
It also came with an ARB front bumper, aka the Prius push bar!

I'm thinking of getting a very small spacer lift in front (not level though) and putting on some 33" tires. Just enough to make it look nice but not detract from it's functionality as a tow rig and daily driver. Very similar to what I did with the Toyota. I love my Dodge Diesel 8)

They are awesome trucks!! I can't wait to tow with it. My buddy runs some 295s that seem like a good size. I wouldn't mind a little shorter tire for daily driving.
What kind of milage are you getting?
My first fill up hand calculated was 15.4. But I was doing a lot of idling and throttle happy driving. My digital read out has gotten to 21 in the freeway. Either way, beats my jeeps milage.

Serious bumper!
I am averaging just over 16 for daily driving and I got almost 18 on my trip down to Los Angeles. I think the new 6 speed transmission helps a lot.

Lucky!! I'd love to have a 6 speed. I really like the 6.7l. I had a choice between an 08 with the 6.7 or my 05 with the 5.9. 08 had a 175k miles on it but road like new. But I really like the reputation of the 5.9. Both are great trucks.

Greg, I saw that on Sunday. So is the Juggy a GO or are you still shopping for another rig?

The juggy is a go. I actually picked it up about 4 weeks ago. Been at my friends house for a few weeks and I just brought it home on Saturday. The wife was really happy.

I think you got a good deal man, including the goose hitch.
