Lemon?
I have had this pickup for almost 3 years, bought brand new. Fried tranny at 9000, dealership told me a piece broke off the pump and clogged the cooler. New transfer case and front differential at 26000, no explanation. Now at 35000 power steering has a horrible leak in it. This pickup has seen almost all highway miles and regular maintenance.
23 mpg stock
I traded in an aging Jeep Wrangler for this when Dodge was doing the employee discount option for anyone. I am still learning how to park this monster even after having it for several months. Just today, my average mileage (mostly hiway) on this all stock truck was 23 MPG. I was shocked! The onboard computer was indicating 17 MPG. Keep your foot out of the throttle and this truck will get decent mileage. When accelerating, I typically do not exceed 2000 RPM. Believe me, this is hard to do since Hemi sounds soo nice at wide open throttle.

I Love my dodge ram
I have had this truck for about 6 months and absolutely love it. Yes I have a hemi. Love the power and smooth ride mine is a special southern comfort edition. Black cherry paint with molded running boards and tauno cover. It also has embroidered seats all leather with a composite dash board. I use synthetic oil and have had no mechanical problems. Ride is great and it sits up high so seeing is easier for me at only 5'2". I have had nothing but compliments on how nice it looks.
Slider's viewpoint
Have had my Dodge a little over 1 year and approx. 10k miles. This vehicle continues to impress me with its overall fit & finish, plenty of power, excellent ergonomics, and beautiful interior. It leaves me with nothing to be desired.
Outstanding Truck!
Fuel mileage could be a little better, but if you keep your foot out of it you can get 21MPG on the highway. About 16 on my highway commute. Shocks could be a little stiffer, but it's obviously tuned for highway comfort. I drove the Chevy and Ford comparable trucks, and I thought the Dodge was the most truck for the money.
