        Ummm, I hate to be the one to tell you, but that's a FAR cry from being anything like a truck...
        My guess is that you were just in the market for a DD and were open minded on what to get.

          It is the basic SE , With the new Pentastar V6

          Well, I wanted a daily and the truck fit that need but, this gets at least 10 more MPG so I crunched the numbers and thought long about it and it makes sense , I have a 2008 4 door dually with only 18,000 on it so I had a truck , I am more of a pickup person but

          It makes sense with fuel prices going up and up and UP !!

          I'll lower it and add a rear spoiler , nice car , I like ,the stealerships just barely back off sticker , although I did get a "ok" deal

                I had a 2006 Charger that I sold in Nov 2010 , and have been trying to replace since ..Charger was perfect , no issues and had 114,000 on it and was needing a bunch of normal maint ..

                I replaced tires, nothing else --It owed me zero on my car allowances with biz , I had ran that car, it went 15.95 with a V6
                This has 55 more HP and more torque, I figure it will run mid 15's ??

                I bought the V6 on the fact of the MPG .. The Hemi ones are awesome but , crazy money and not practical for my use
                Well, having a 2 door kinda limits my taking people to lunch and stuff too but, they will just have to suffer

                  I look local on the net, and can't even find those...nevermind two door.

                  the older used beaten plain black wheel versions would be nice to score.
