I guess this is a bit of a close out on this thread...as I sold the WK only 4 weeks ago. It was a tough decision to sell it, and I actually miss it very much. The only thing softening the blow is the new to me 2014 Ram 1500 sport I picked up as its replacement. Oh and the fact that it went to a friend who will look after it more that I did.
Now I loved the Jeep, but have been looking at Ram's for the past year or so. I have 4 or more friends with them, and they all speak very highly of them. I love the Hemi, and the Ram has the same powerplant, so that made it an easier decision. I was just looking at some used ones online and found one that was the perfect combination! Hemi, loaded up with all the good options and low miles. Went to look at it but it sold in 2 days. Ugh. They had another one coming in so I started looking around at more and other options.
I looked at Ford F150's, Rams, Titans, Tundras and even a Chev or two. The only ones I really liked and kept coming back to were the Ram and the F150. The Hemi won over the 6.2L Ford as it is much harder on fuel...but man what a nice motor. I am also more familiar with the Ram products and the devil you know is sometimes better that the devil you don't (as they say).
My new to me tow vehicle is a loaded 2014 1500 Sport with pretty much every option available. Tow rating is 10,200# stock with the 5.7L, the 8 speed and the 3.92 rear diff with LSD. SO far it is fantastic, and even getting better mileage than the WK was. More modern drivetrain helps a lot. Tossed on a tri fold hard tonneau cover to keep my junk dry and off we go.
Here she is...with brand new 20" BFG K02's on it (made the dealer toss them in).
Original stock OEM tires were not only weak, but to the wear bars bald...ugh, bald junk.
Pretty plush interior. I missed a black Sport Crew with full leather by 1 day as well. Man these trucks are popular here!
Can't wait to tow the trailer with this.
