I had asked anyone to let me know of any 06 3500 srw 4x2 trucks ( holdovers) , and only got one response about one in Calif. and someone else was going to scarf that one up. Can't even get a 4x2 in N. D. off of a lot. Called Dave Smith Motors and was told that they" the biggest dealers in the US", do not even order any for their inventory. Have a cousin in Billings that wanted to rent one from a dealer there, and couldn't.

I bet they(DC) would sell a whole lot more than they think they would, if they would just put some out there to be had. I had to order mine in 04.

It's even worse if you want a six speed.

Why a 2wd in snow country anyways? Doesn't work well here.

During the worst times I do not take it out of the yard. 98% of its travel I am on dry or plowed roads. For the other 2% i use Triple A ins. , for the pickles I manage to get into, it is cheaper than 4x4. And, I put on about 50,000 miles or more a year, and I do not have to drag all that extra weight around. Not to mention the extra mechanical maintenance required to maintain the front differential, transfer case, drive shaft, etc. ect. If I really get in a bind, I can still use the 99 in my sig. although I gave it to my youngest son.

I have a two wheel drive Dodge 2500 and have no need for a 4 by 4.

I live in the North and always had a two wheel drive. I like working out of the bed. A LOT less trouble amd repair cost. Maybe if I had one I would like it. But for now I will make do with a two drive.

Check the Houston dealers. They're pretty common down here. I understand that DC has thousands of unsold 2006 trucks sitting in their (not the dealer's) inventory.

Thanks RustyJC, I will try to check it out. I try to get on Dodge sales sites, and they always ask for a zip code, and then I only get local dealers. And they never have any 4x2s here. Could you give me a zip code for a city near you that would have a chance of haveing some in their inventory? Otherwise, I suppose that DC will not even deal with the general public. Or do you know how to check with them? Thanks again.

Try 77041. That should get you northwest Houston, Tomball, Katy, Jersey Village, etc.
