It is a fine truck. Capable of towing, hauling, and looking good around town. It's big....and those who like big vehicles will not be disappointed. Get a cold-air induction kit and some flowmasters, and the "underpowered" 5.9 will eat up the road.

Love my Dodge, Hate the gas guzzlin'

10MPG in the winter is the ONLY flaw with this truck. Power, comfort, ground clearance, looks it's all there- -it just guzzles gas. Want economy? Put a Toyota Prius in the back! Oh yea . . . big tires like this wear out in 30K miles. Pay the money, drive the truck. Look DOWN on Ford and Chevy trucks.

I purchased this truck because it had a lot of interior room but I was warned by co-workers not to purchase a Dodge and I should of listened. The truck is falling apart inside, dashboard has many cracks in it, cd player does not work, a/c has been replaced 6 times... Etc... Dodge will not own up to these issues and there are many complaints about the dashboard issue which makes airbag deployment a real safety issue if it were to deploy... All that cracked plastic would fly like shards of Glass

Good-ish old truck, hard to kill if you can wrench

Bought it in '07 with the gettag tranny going out swapped in a NV4500 and beat the tar out of it for 6mos. Spent a year overseas came back and blew up the t case (abused purely my fault) the had a drive line explode on the 93 near wikieup(old age and abuse). Drove her hard another year and blew up the rear diff and cracked the bell housing(again abuse) the at 120K FINALLY had to change the clutch out. The dashboard turned into Frito chips somewhere along the way and got swapped. (TLDR): I worked very hard to kill this truck and she is still making 60mi round trips on the highway, we all bought these after seeing Twister and treated our one truck like the 4 they used to make the move...lol

Could it be WHERE it's built?

I have experienced some of the complaints, but drive it so little that I have not really had time to give a "lemon" evaluation. I "think" the tranny may have some problems, the blower on the AC/Htr seems to whir oddly, and the pulling many of us notice was brushed aside as, .."most of them do"(by dealer service dept) As opinions seem split...I would bet it has to do with with whether the vehicle was built in MICH or the other factory (where mine was built). I have had Dodge trucks since 1981...this may be the last, although I may consider a 2500 (why does it have a 9-PLUS rating?). Am going to check it out right now!
