I know, I know, it's the "American dream" to have everything you want -the difference is, I'm not sure your neighbors want to pay for it when you let the house go to foreclosure because you needed to satisfy a "want" to go camping and a "want" to go to work with a smile on your face. /tiny rant

You wanna talk about the American Dream, every once in awhile someone starts a thread on one of the LX forums, either the 300C or Charger forum and starts crying about how its my right to be an American and drive vehicles with large engines, they usually start when gas prices go up, its sad and pathetic, it makes me laugh but it also makes me study harder to never end up like that

Hey, wait until next year and you'll pick a used one up for $40,000.

I guess it is a cool idea for a vehicle (SUV that outruns sports cars), but I don't see Dodge selling many of these. I haven't read up on the new one, but have they added a tow-hitch option?

There is no "right" to drive anything. In all 50 states, driving is legally a priviledge, not a right.

the new models don't have the dual center exhaust and so can accept a hitch...5000lbs tow rating, may be more with a weight distributing hitch.

Guys, let's get this thread back on topic of the new SRT8 (not on unions, bad drivers, economy conditions or comments about the other members in this thread).

Thanks.
