Congratulations Alf - sounds like a great vehicle -and this cheesehead has always been relaxed about Alf and his rigs.

Congrats, Alf.
Now you'll have to change line 2 of your signature, but I don't think that new description is going to fit.

Hi: citabria90... I would have loved a "Titan diesel" but in truth I'm a tight man!!! Big difference between what I can afford, and what I'd like. The 2019 Ram Ltd. is what drew me in, but the price tag just blew me away. Then the fact the V6 diesel was not on offer till maybe late in 2019.
On the trip east across US #2 I realized at our stage of travel we needed some more comfort on our way, and why not...we earned it!!! Alf

Great choice, Alf.
With 37,000 miles (nearly all towing) on our 2016 EcoDiesel, the main thing I can say is that it turns towing into a pleasure instead of a challenge. Our 2003 4Runner was rated at 283 ft/lbs, the Eco is 420 ft/lbs.
When parking at a campsite, I often put it into low range, just for fun. It will idle with the trailer, uphill.

She's a beauty! And I confess to a bit of envy, I like the classic Ram front end better than the redesigned look of the 2019 I have on order.

Hi: Chotch... Thanks... It's not too often you can get colour /interior/engine and a trailer tow pkg in a gently used vehicle, at about 1/3 the cost of new with warranty!!! You can call 1 800 me lucky.  Alf
