This truck has been nothing but trouble since the first week! It has had three trans' put in it in two yrs. It ended up at $2560 to fix it all! Its been stolen its been broken in to and all my cd players were stolen. That cost me 950 to replace them. My advice is not to buy one.

This is THE best truck I've ever had!! I will probably drive it until the wheels fall off; which will probably never happen. It gets wonderful milage for a 5.9L (360)--around 15 town and 22 on highway. It's full of power and the best 4X4 on/off the road. The comfort is great as well. For real people....THIS IS ONE TOUGH TRUCK AND A JOY TO OWN!!

Purchased this truck new with 2 miles on the odo. Engine has run great but no power and terrible fule ecomony. Transmission is terrible. A/C core started leaking after 2 years. Dodge had problems with these and refused to warranty.
