should i be mad at my Dodge Dealer?

I ordered my truck last friday. Sense i didn't get to test drive a 2wd 3500 (i test drove a 4x4 drw) i decided to go and look at some other dealers to see if they had any SRW 3500 trucks to test drive. My dealer told me he did a dealer serch and couldn't find a 2wd DRW. So i drove around town tonite and sure enough no Drw 2wd and no SRW. only 2500s. so I decide to look up on the web for some dealer a little further away. low a behold a dealer to the north of me about 30miles has 3 brite silver DRW SLT CTD/auto siting on his lot. sure one is a 4x4 but the other 2 are 2wd. i'm leaving at about 8:15 in the morning to go and test drive the trucks.

What should i do?

1. Buy the truck from the dealer 30miles away.
or
2. Ask my dealer in town to do a dealer trade and get the truck for me. I already put 500.00 down on the dealer in town. however he told me i could get it back any time i want.
