lve2143, I hear you! The world is changing and guys like us can't keep up.
If you can swing it, I think you will really like a new truck. After 15 years you certainly deserve a new truck.
I rode in my buddies new truck the other day. It's better than the Cadillac's 15 years ago. It even has a "backup" camera, so you don't hit a stump when in reverse.

It's written in the good Book that we'll never be asked to take more than we can. Sounds like a good plan, so bring it on!

So Larro?
You didn't like the last advice?
Every Brand has took a turn at building JUNK!
They've all took a turn at building a Decent Truck!
Them 4 Doors sure are Sweet!
You can stash a lot of Gear in the back seat!
I'll agree!
They're all Ridiculously priced!

I was always a Chevy guy....lots of years but they stayed with the old technology for so many years. Back in 2006 I drove a Dadge Ram 1500 QUAD cab with a Hemi gas power package. Never will go back to Chevi now. The power in that Hemi is unbelievable.
The extra seat in the Quad cab folds up so you can store a ton of gear inside if needed.
Check them out.

I bought a new truck about a month ago, I thoight I was going to get a toyota for sure, but I drove a ford raptor and had to have it. There are so many good trucks out there right now that it's really just about picking one that fits your needs.
Yes it is true that you can't get a manual in a Chevy anymore.
However, if you knew much about the dodge brand you peddle so freely, you'd know their manuals haven't been $hit for awhile.
Fiat owns Chrysler now and for a few years, the manuals are detuned. And not just a little.
My 2014 dodge is a manual 6 speed and it has 200 ft lbs less torque than the aisisine 6 speed automatic.
I have a 2015 with the auto in it as well. Plus, the manuals have about 30 less horse power too. Why??
Because the clutches they're putting in the dodges are piles O $hit. That's why. They won't spend the money on a decent clutch. Why?
No market for them.
I own 8 trucks. Most are dodges. Two are Chevy. They've all been good trucks.
And btw, yes you can go with a ceramic clutch and have a better system. But that won't change the fact that the motor is so detuned.
I can't find a system to wake the trucks up and crank the power of the automatic.

I know a Guy that'll build you any Clutch you want!
And Yes it will Hold!
I'm not a Fan of the Grabbin Ceramic Clutches but they will hold up!
I agree!
In the Stock Form the Automatics have more Power!
WAFJ!
Systems are Rare but out there that Will wake the 6 Speed Sticks up!
Thanks once a F'N gain to Obama it is Quite Spendy to do!
I Have Noticed with the Diesels the Newer they Get the Thirstier they get!
And Don't forget to keep the Obama Juice tank Full!
