Post New Dodge Ram truck?

I am in the market for a new truck and will be replacing an 02 2500 suburban I have been a GM guy all of my life but I am starting to look outside GM. I do occasional towing (7k lbs or less) a few times a year and it is mainly a daily driver. I was wondering if anyone on here has one of the newer EcoDiesel 3.0 Ram trucks. I test drove one of the limited models and it rode really nice. I am also interested in the Ram box beds that they offer. If anyone has any feedback on them (either positive or negative), please post up. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!

I have a crew cab eco-diesel with 3.91 gears and the locking diff. I get 21-22 mpg in town and my last trip from Dallas to Houston in the 80mph+ category netted 26 mpg. I have yet to tow with the truck. I have about 14k miles on it now and so far no issues. I did not get the Ram box option. A guy I know who has that option loves it, he is a construction foreman and keeps a few things in there that he needs constant access.

It's hard for me to jump on the Dodge wagon. It wasn't long ago that they built a pretty poor product and that means something to me.
