AS title says. 2012 Ram 1500 4X4 Sport Edition 5.7 hemi…basically came with everything I wanted, which wasn’t much. The sport edition gets rid of all the nasty chrome bumpers…and color matches everything. Have the nicer interior, leather bolstered power seats, sliding rear window blah blah…it’s a truck. It was sort of an impulse buy… The STI is in the body shop (accident) and apparently I don’t have rental reimbursement so I was daily driving the Ninja. I stopped by a local dealer and saw this sitting out front… I gave an offer of $10k under sticker, they bickered a bit, and I ended up walking out the door paying $10k under sticker + a bunch of oil changes and some mud flaps. I know the '13s are being slightly redesigned but with this deal I couldn’t pass it up. Overall, it rides pretty damn nice, and manages to get out of it’s own way… Guys on the Ram forums are running high 14’s-low 15’s with a stock truck. I don’t plan on modding it at all, but if I did, i’d go with some Rockstar black wheels with 35’s and a 3" lift, and probably a superchip tuner. [ATTACH=CONFIG]21445[/ATTACH] ---

PM me what dealer and what you paid if you could. I may be picking up a truck but haven’t made up my mind if I want to spend the $$ on a truck or buy a boat. ---

What is it with those Rockstar wheels? I think they’d look better without the little chrome stars on them… Nice pickup though! :oj: ---
