Well, after much contemplating and even trying it before. we finally went and traded in my wifes Silver 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Regular Cab Short Bed pick-up fully UNLOADED(bone stock, no options), for what, why none other than a Dark Gray 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab Short Bed pick-up, with the same engine (4.7L V8), fully loaded with PW, PL, PM, Compass and all that crap up top including mileage, side airbags, better rims, and almost the same mileage! Payments went up a little, but for that it is 100x better! While on the lot, which was a Pontiac, Dodge, Mazda (odd combo huh ), I got to look at all the cool cars to include the SRT-10 and RumbleBee, Vipers, new Pontiac Vibes, Bonneville GXP (my favorite car), G6s (wish they would have stuck with the original drawings ), GTOs (awesome!), Montana SV6 (looks alot better than I thought ), and the Mazda 3 (I love the 5 door). It was fun while I waited. Wanted to take everything home!!!

Very cool! The power toys are realy nice to have. I am spoiled by my power features. My Brother has a 2004 GMC Sierra with power-nothing that I needed to use yesterday. What a chore to use the key to unlock the door...

Personally I like all the trucks, especially the newer Rams, F150's, Sierras, Silverados, Titans, all of them pretty much, but that is what she wanted so that is what she got It's really nice though and we like it a lot. Guess that's all that really matters.

at work they just investing another $175 million into our plant for the next generation GMC and Chevy trucks. they say the trucks have a beefed-up Titan look to them. I've yet to see it and GM managment is being pretty tight lipped about it so they can "suprise" the public with it in 2007.

Actually, for some reason we didn't even get the owners manual with it! We were looking for it last night to set the time and see the overhead functions and it wasn't there. I will call them today and try to get one, but it is good to know I have another resource. Thanks!

Actually, the G6 is one of the few GM cars I've seen that is very true to it's original concept...Very little was changed on the body from concept to production..
