I struggled with this as well, the 6spd was not an issue for me, as I went 48re. Right now the rebate is 1k and the farm bureau rebate is $500. If you wait DC may have a price increase. Sunroof..... would be kind of nice, but is DC even going to produce them and when (see various threads on this). If you look at the amount of space between the overhead consel and the dome light, there isn't much space, which leads me to believe the sunroof will be kind of small.



Who knows about the better mileage. I hoping that was addressed with all new '05's rolling off the line. I only have about 130 miles on mine, just picked her up last friday and am averaging 13 around town, which I think is great so far.



As far as rebates go, if Dodge truck sales remain strong, I don't think you will see an increase of rebates. On the 6spd, we already know the NV5600 is about as bulletproof as they come. The exhaust brake is dealer approved on the 6spd's as far as I know.



Keep us posted on your decision and good luck. Just my . 02 worth.
