Review
Had always driven GM vehicles but cost
and warranty made Dodge a viable
alternative. I have been very pleased
and can't imagine going back to a GM
product. GM and Ford will have to get
in line with warranties and pricing to
better compete.

Review
Truck is a diesel, runs well, but has a
horrible ride. This is normal for this type of
truck. I bought it for hauling my travel trailer
and it does a good job there, but otherwise
its a beast to park to say the least. Interior is
plastic. Seats are not coushioned as wellas
they should be. Rear seating is ok for kids,
but folds down for extra storage, a plus.Truck
has nice lines.

Review
I bought my Dodge 2500 SLT 4x4 Crew Cab
and was immediately impressed with the
overall appearance compared to previous
Dodge models. The ride is stiff as
could be expected from a truck this
size. Although the power is impressive
from the Hemi, the handling is not as
good as you might expect. I've noticed
that the trucks body is higher (hood)
then equivilent Fords and Chevy's I
have compared it to. Get ready spend
some money at the pump after purchasing
this pig! Average fuel consumption is
between 13-14 mpg. Overall, I really
like it, and I cannot imagine myself in
anything else on the market right now.

Review
4x4, 4-door Hemi 2500-It's handsome,
tall and very rugged. After recently
suffering the woes of owning an IFS 4x4
Chevy, I was ready for a solid front
axle truck. That doesn't exist in the
1/2-ton class, so bring on the 3/4-ton
class. Choosing between the Ford and
Dodge was easy (Chevy's HD trucks are
all IFS). The Dodge AAM axles are
larger, the Dodge standard gas engine
(HEMI) is more powerful and efficient,
and the Dodge price was better. YES,
the truck is fast. It's a 6000lb,
3/4ton truck that does a 17.5sec 1/4
mile, or can haul my 4-horse
trailer.

I waited for the year that the 2500 was
introduced with the redesign + the
Hemi. It has not been disappointing. I
have received a lot of compliments on
it in the past year, mostly on its
style, but this truck has got guts
where it counts. I hauled a lot of
building material over the summer and
it was more than capable. The Laramie
package has all the necessary creature
comforts for my long commute.

Review
My vehicle is powered by a Cummins HO
turbo diesel. I recently took it for a
ride into the mountains west of Denver
and was amazed at the ease with which
it climbed. The interior is comfortable
and suprizingly quiet for a diesel, the
handling quick and accurate, and the
ride is smooth while still maintaining
a truck-like feel. After four months I
still jump at the chance to drive it.

Review
I fell in love with this truck the
first time I drove it. The HO Diesel
has better seat of pants feel in
acceleration than the '01 5.9L gas
truck I had. I tow an 18 foot car
hauler with a tractor on it (approx.
7,000 lbs. total) about 30% of the
time. With this truck I hardly know the
trailer is behind me. I am very pleased
with the mileage. I normally average 19-
20 unloaded on the highway and I get
about 15 around town pulling the
trailer/tractor. The fit and finish is
great. The truck rides better than
the '01 1500 I had. I love the extra
room with the 4 doors. The only thing I
would change about this truck is to
have larger rear doors with more room.

Review
It's the best thing I've ever drove,
wish the mileage could be better but
that's not what you buy a real truck
for. Highway miles are fine but since I
bought it we tend to do a little to
much city driving, not Dodges fault.
And I feel it is the best value on the
market!!!
