been thinking about getting rid of my mildly built '01 Ram 1500 ( Eaton Elocker front, 4.56s, Detroit locker rear, stock axles, upgraded rebuilt transmission after heavy towing destroyed it, very tired 360 magnum at 180k) and getting into a '14 PW. This would not be a daily driver, but would be a ranch truck, would likely put a flatbed on it. would give me more options to tow my bumper pull trailers and the gooses too, instead of my 1 ton CTD always.
id get 4 doors, a full back seat for taking kids, an interior that is not a pile of broken plastic, better mileage (current engine seems to be getting about 8 mpg, but 75% of its miles are offroad), and i wouldnt need to immediately add lockers. only thing id do is pull the OBA system i built on the current Dodge and fab up some new mounts and switches for the new truck.
only thing hard to swallow is the price. used its looking like they are running $28-35k.
what gears came in the 2014+ PWs? 3.92 or 4.56?
