Poor fuel mileage

The best truck I ever owned as far as comfort. Fuel mileage is another subject, I don't know how everyone else that has rated the truck says the mileage is so great, I get 10 mpg! The truck has 2000 miles. The dealer said it has to break in more, but I can't imagine it improving to 15 mpg like I was told. I'm not the type to put the pedal to the metal. I'm afraid to tow anything with unless I take out a loan.

Fun Truck!

With just over 3000 miles in one month, this truck has been fun to drive. Everything has been great about the truck so far. The only issue that I feel Dodge skimped on was the 20" Chrome clad Rims. DO NOT BUY them. They are PLASTIC hubcaps glued to the rim's. In 4-5 years these rims will fade and the plastic will crack when someone goes to change the tires or valve stem. I know, because I already had to replace a tire after having a blowout. If you like these rim's, I'm looking to trade them with someone who doesn't like the non-chrome clad rims!

Disapointed

I purchased the SLT quad cab 4x4 sport. Great looking big red truck but the steering wheel started to shimmy at highway speeds at 300 miles. Dealer tried to correct and only made the problem worse. Truck was also unstable with a 4500lb boat in tow over expansion joints at highway speeds. I lost trust in the vehicle after one week of owner ship and sold it back to the dealer with 600 miles on it. My worst buying/owning experience ever.

I looked at so many trucks finally found my truck st quad cab 4.7 with 5 speed auto .I like the redesign for '06 rides more comfortable than '05 model.I also like the room on the quad cab and being able to take the wife and kids on trips.I traded in an '06 Honda Civic and the build quality is so much better on the Dodge Ram.

This is my first Dodge purchase. Really like the vehicle and room in the front and rear. Nice flip up back seat for storage.
