Good truck but with flaws
Bought it brand new and now paid for but the gas mileage is about 16MPG. The dash has cracks all over it after only 5 years. It was realy upsetting that they couldn't have foreseen that. The AC did go out after 5 years too. Just when the warranty was out. I have done all maintenance and there have been no other issues. I haven't even changed the break pads. Overall it's been good but Nissan and Toyota seem to be better these days.
Wake up, this truck stinks!
My views about this truck changed drastically since I paid it off. I paid the 5 year loan and then all hell broke loose. I guess I was lucky getting 129000 miles on it before having to replace the engine on a 5 1/2 year old truck. Thanks oil sludge prone 4.7L.I next had to replace the fan clutch and radiator at about 6 years old. Now I have to replace the front control module and the power distribution module due to both of them shorting out for no reason. I am one to keep a vehicle beyond the 5 year payoff. I have an 11 year old ford aerostar with 159,000 miles and I have only had to replace an oxygen sensor and one other emmision control valve. With 150,000 miles on my Ram, $5500 since I paid off.
King of all Trucks
Bought this truck with only a 1500 dollar rebate.. now they have 6000 dollar rebates. But guess what just finished paying for it and I dont need another vehicle because it is still working great! At the time had a seven year 100,000 mile powertrain..I took the complete warranty ..did use it on the windows and some minor radiator repairs. Now tempted on the lifetime warranty but the gas might prohibit me from keeping it twenty years if I only use it to drive! Still lifetime warranty on a truck is might tempting.. especially since the first one off the line has had so much good reviews and results. 5.9 engine has been great.. wouldnt have a 4.7 if gas was the same.. kudos Dodge.
love this truck
great looking, drives great, fun to drive,plenty of room frt and rear, paint is solid, performance is superb and, like it better every time i drive it.
Stylin & Profiling
For me to go to a Dodge takes a great product & this is!Reasonable price with great features,got mine out the door for $24300 incl tax and 100K/7YR warr,bedliner,sliding window & fog lamps.Had the truck for 4 mths & mileage in the city of 13-14 avg & I got a 18.5 hwy @70-75MPH with no tonneau.The auto tranny is not bad but shifts alot going up a hill.Looked at Ford & Chevy & found more bang for the buck with Dodge,feature wise,style wise and price wise.Just like everything else you cant have enough power & this is no exception!The fit & finish are good as well & the truck in the colour of Atlantic Blue has my neighbours drooling.
