Default traded the car for a truck

Well with our family growing any day now, I decided to trade the car in towards the purchase of another truck. I picked up a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 quadcab shortbed, silver with the sport package, and the 5.9 HO cummins turbo diesel. The thing is a beast even stock (325 hp / 600 lb-ft), and should be even more fun once I get a tuner for it. I didn't post much on here, but did do plenty of reading. Take care.

I am not a fan of long bed trucks, atleast not when it is a quadcab/crewcab. Makes the truck just too damn long.

After the trade I ended up with an total price (tax, tags, and title work) of about 13k which I was pretty happy with. I made alittle more then 1k on the mustang trading it in over what I paid for it when I got it.
