I wonder if these are all they are cracked up to be ? I had a Hemi shortbox 2 door (2003). That truck was pretty amazing power wise. I would imagine that they are basically the same, except for all the lipstick on the RB. The only things I could find on the internet, were specs, recalls, and endless videos (sales, burnouts, exhaust sounds).
The reason for this is that I would like a pickup. I haven't had one for 3.5 years. I am tired of not being able to buy lumber or other larger items due to inability to haul it.
Anyway, pickups are going for high dollars around here. A friend of a friend, that knows of my plight found a RB that is just a bit higher than the basic pickups around here. I am going to look at it this morning. In my mind, why not have the fancy looking truck for comparable money.
As I mentioned, I am familiar with the performance of these. The first time I drove the 2003 Hemi in the rain, I tried to accelerate from a stop sign into traffic. It didn't work out so well. I missed the gap in traffic because my wheels were just spinning and I wasn't moving. I learned to be a little gentler on the go pedal after that.

. All things add up. Body is in much better shape than I had expected for up here in the north east U.S. Interior is good and clean, no damage. All glass is good. Everything works, incl heat and a/c. Title and lien release in hand (owners hand so far). It goes ! Nice truck, not perfect but for my needs, more than adaquate. Plus it looks good and sounds great.
