After owning it for a little over 9 yrs. we have traded the '06 2500 CTD.
Been a little concerned since it became the wifes DD several years ago (you may remember me asking about 1500s) as she is only 5'4" and literally had to pull herself in. Even using the grab handle and step bar I worried about her falling getting in or out.
First thought was to get her a Charger but after going to look at one that sold minutes before we arrived, she decided she would rather have a Challenger. smile
Bought the truck in'08 (when diesel was nearly $5 a gallon) for $17,200. traded it almost even for a '16 SXT Plus. Wife loves it and I don't have to worry about her falling in or out anymore. wink I will miss it but peace of mind is well worth it. up

That is an absolute beauty! Is the SXT a 3.6?

Yes, it is a 3.6. Son asked why i didn't get a Hemi. I told him his mother didn't need any speeding tickets especially when our grandson wants her to "race" other cars (he's 4). wink Very peppy for a V6. up
She does want me to add a hood black-out and rear spoiler. smile

Nice. Great engine. We have them at work in some of our po-po cars and they are smooooth as silk, and absolutely no complaints on power. Glad to hear your four year old is being brought up right! up

Sounds like a good trade.
