Great truck. Definitely love the Hemi. Don't even know there's a trailer back there, pulls HARD!. Very Fast. Whole truck is real tight, nothing falling apart. Only problem in 3 years was blower motor which was fixed under warranty. Besides that never been to the repair shop.

I bought it with a four inch lift and 33" BFG M/Ts. The 5.7L Hemi gives it a nice punch although the factory muffler has really quieted it down. The truck feels very solid and stable even with the 4" lift. For a light duty 1/2 ton, I've been very happy with it.

Gramps Gotta Hemi

To and from work, about 13.1 mpg mixed driving. The hemi is fun very few people try the "right lane run up" when the lane is running out, great for passing. Use for light hauling, haven't tried the trailer package out yet. Ride is good for a truck, fit and finish now complaints. Rear seat accomodates grand daughters car seat with no problems (had to buy the quad cab, she can't be in front sear yet, hey it was a great excuse) Live in the metro Detroit area, no problem with snow. Thumper says welcome to Detroit, drive it like ya stole it.

I am a changed man. I used to buy GM vehicles but I am a Dodge man now. There are a couple things I don't like about the interior. If I am sitting in the driver's seat comfortably, I can't reach the radio and AC/Heater controls without leaving forward. The short bed is kind of a pain but it isn't the end of the world. It has all sorts of power and torque. I would recommend it to anyone just be prepared to spend $40 everytime you fill up the 26 gallon tank (about every 350 miles).
