After many, many hours talking to the wife as well as researching, we've decided to keep the Ex. We're going to get a custom shop to add a middle hed rest for the 2nd row, so that takes care of the middle headrest issue
problems with the ram
1- the used 06/07 MC command a premium plus. 25K for a truck with 200K on it is insane. I can get a new one with warranty for 40K
2- I cannot/ will not own a newer diesel without a warranty, all of the big 3 are still figuring out how to make a good, long lasting engine, like they used to have. Stupid EPA regulations....
3- new ones seem to have too many issues. lots of issues actually. as I read someone who posted on cumminsforums, "it's not a good truck but not a bad truck." the 6.7 engine, once deleted is pretty solid, but the fit and finish is still an issue
So, unless I can find a good deal on an 06/07 MC, we'll stick to the Ex, especially since I know it's a solid truck and I can drive it anywhere tomorrow.
All that said, the question is do I want to get a 200 and sell the 80. I love my 80, but all this 200 looking has made me want one. And I *may* be able to convince the fam, although it's not 100%. decisions.....
