Yep my 6.4 Hemi stickered at $53K and a Cummins diesel would have pushed it to $62K. I managed to get them down $10K, otherwise I'd have still be towing at the limits of my previous half ton. We...

Congrats.

When you say power jacks, do you mean the (4) scissor jacks or just the front jack? A power front jack is a must. If you got the dealer to install power scissor jacks that's pretty...
