I usually don't get hung up on the color, but wow - I'd pass on that one!
Tough to make the case for a diesel unless you are towing a lot & very heavy. I just went camping with a friend pulling a big 5th wheel camper with a Ram 3500 w/ the 6.4 Hemi. It did a nice job. Lot of truck for the money.

National Park and there is a lot of it here, is Federal property...
You get to see a Federal District Judge if you contest a ticket...
Don't ask how that went...

Hi dee hey! Only 3 or 4 days late.... but the coffee's still good!
We had a good nature thrill at North Camp Saturday morning. Just after sunrise a big ol' bald eagle was snagging fish out of the pond and eating them in the trees around the shore. The second one he ate and was within sight, but just barely. The third one he caught and flew toward us. I shouted "Came eat where we can see you!". Well.... he flew right straight toward us, at eye level. He got within 100 feet of us and still coming! He kept getting bigger and bigger. Just as we were about to dive under the picnic table, he curved up and landed on a pine tree branch about 75 feet from our eye balls! All I had was my crappy camp phone for a camera... From now on we are bringing a decent camera to camp. What a cool thrill. He sat there for 10 minutes eating. When he finished he scraped his beak on the branch to clean it & off he went.
Truck prices are crazy here too! Absolutely nuts! A used and quite rusty 2016 Chevy plow truck with sander. Almost 60,000 miles for $43,000? I don't think so!
Hope you all have a smooth week!

If that truck was regular cab, 8' bed, I would buy it in a hartbeat! The old 2500HD has the best pickup truck frame ever made and is the last pickup you can get before the EPA turned pickup trucks into Girly trucks. With a 6.0 LS and a 5 speed manual gearbox, this truck will go forever.
I think that is the same truck that Hoovie did a video of?
I happen to like the "Forestry Service Green".
