I'll second the vote for the auto. I got the 6 spd for fears of the Dodge auto. After owning the truck for little over 1 year now, here is what I've found out
1. Driving the 6 spd in stop and go traffic is a total pain
2. My wife cannot drive the manual, which limits the use of this vehicle
3. The 48RE is proving to be much improved over the 47RE
Don't get me wrong, the NV5600 is a ROCK SOLID transmission and I love it for what it is built for. But I'm finding that the auto would probably have been a better fit. I want a Mega Cab, and once the new wears off them (ie Dealers will start dealing on them), I will sell my dearly beloved truck, and get the Mega Cab with an auto.

I've had 9 vehicles with leather and 03 leather are as good as any. One thing for sure is they are durable and last long, unlike some GM ones I've had and seen. If you want soft Italian leather that doesn't wear, get an Maserati. Never broke a fog light. I would recommend to stop tailgating people on gravel roads.
