September-October is probably the time frame I am looking at. I will have had my truck for 3 years at that point. I am looking at SLT's but if I am going to keep it for more than 3 years like I normally do, I want something I can live with for a long time. I want get my my dream truck and actually keep it for 10 years. That being said, I am now considering a Laramie as well. I actually like the Outdoorsman with painted bumpers but can't seem to find any in stock to get good pictures.
Frontier has a very nice selection. Here are links to what I would want on a Laramie and SLT. It's not a real big jump in price between the 2.

What gears do you have in yours? I'm thinking the 3.73s or even 3.42s will be good for me and keep MPG up a little. I am thinking a Crew Cab with 3.42s might be able to get 17 or so on the highway.

I am just too spoiled with my truck to go back to a 3rd gen. I love the front end of the 4th gen HD.

The wheels are nice, but I probably won't be buying new ones for a while. I am thinking stock wheels PD'd with some 33's... But overall, that's the truck I want. Just a basic SLT in white or maybe mineral gray. I looked at a Laramie today at the local dealer and it stickered at $54k, not sure if I want to spend that much...
