Review
I bought my truck new and used it in my construction business. I never (!) had a problem in 76,000 miles of Alaskan driving. No squeaks, leaks, mechanical problems, or anything else. But I sadly sold it when I retired and moved overseas....cheap living now. I have owned 5 Dodge trucks and have been more than satisfied. But the gas mileage stinks.
Favorite Features
The total quiet within the cab. Lots of room. Good ride.
Suggested Improvements
Gas mileage. 14 mpg in the city. But it is a truck and is expected.
Great truck

Review
Bought from my next door neighbor with 100k on it, has 105k on it now. He kept great maint records and always followed oil changes, tuneups and fluid changes, as I have since I bought it. No problems except and transmission valve went out, $15 part and 10 minutes to replace! Would drive it anywhere.
Favorite Features
firm seats, nice center console
Suggested Improvements
none, I like it the way it is.
Can't keep the RF wheel on

Right front hub failure twice. Dodge won't own the problem. Very dangerous to drive. A/C leaks. Electrical system stinks. Will NEVER purchase another Chrysler product.
Favorite Features
Good body style
Suggested Improvements
Correct design flaw in the suspension. Hubs don't just fail without reason. I do not abuse this vehicle.

Review
I bought this truck with 110,000 miles, and whoever owned it before me neglected it like no other. After about $1500 in parts and labor, I can honestly say I wouldn't trade it for the world. I'm 24 and have had 17 trucks since I've been 17. Yeah, the gas mileage stinks, but what do expect when a truck is modeled after a big rig? These trucks weren't made to be espically comfortable either, they were built to get the job done. I cant remember any other half ton truck that came with a solid front axle in 99.
Favorite Features
You name it, I like it.
Suggested Improvements
I would say gas mileage but what do you expect when you drive a tank. If any thing maybe the clear coat issue
Warning when buying used!!!

Review
My girlfriend bought this truck out of impulse at a used car leader. It looks really good. But there are a number of things wrong with it and she has only driven it for 20,000 miles. it now has 171000. The transmission had to be replaced at ~160,000 which is really good for that transmission. Unfortunately the transmission is going out again. Also has an exhaust leak, heater core went out and doesn't have a block heater (which stinks in Montana weather) This winter the gas lines froze so don't forget to put Heat in the gas. The four wheel drives sticks really bad too. Just a warning for this year truck. Transmission usually go out between 50,000mi to 120,000mi.
Favorite Features
Good looking truck. engine has a lot of power with the 5.9 engine but gets crappy MPG.
Suggested Improvements
Transmission is the only thing that bothers me a whole lot. i can fix everything else, but it stinks pouring money into a truck that keeps having problems
