Firstly, I looked at many different trucks prior to purchasing my Ram and settled on it as a compromise. After 10 months of ownership I found that I compromised a little too much regarding overall build quality. However, this truck did everything relatively well that I asked it to. It is a blast to drive with 5.7 Hemi option and very well optioned for the price. The biggest issue I noticed was it scratched and dented extremely easily which poses a major challenge when utilizing a truck for its intended use.

Well I love my first 1/2 ton pickup truck. The mineral gray is a very sharp color and the engine is a monster. I added a K & N cold air intake to my Hemi and it ROARS! Hadn't had one problem since my purchase 5 months ago. The truck had 35,000 on it. I have put 7,000 since and it is well broken in. I changed from the mopar oil to AMSOIL synthetic (7500 mile oil change) with a K&N oil filter which everything is running smooth. I plan on getting new tires as the stock Wranglers are wearing out, probably will be toast by 50,000. Getting Grabbers, best value, fyi. The brakes are ok, but HAWK is probably the brand that will replace my OEM ones.
Great Basic Truck

I recently purchased a bare bones work truck for a third vehicle. I have owned about every diffent model of truck in the last 20 years and I have to say I am very pleased with this truck. Dodge has managed to build a simple, very well built work truck that at an acceptional value. The six- speed manual allows for optimum power out of the six cylinder motor and provides good economy. I have averaged approximely 19 mpg round about and over 23 mpg on the highway. To describe this vehicle in a few short words; good price, quiet at high speeds, plenty of power, great fuel economy for a full size truck.

Bought used with only 13.4K miles at 2.5 years old. Still had new truck smell. Love this rig. Came from a 98 Durango, this one so much bigger, much more power. Love the satellite radio. Bright red color, was rear ended and hit the guy in front, bumpers and tow hitch toast, minor dent to tail gate. Stout build. In shop, can't wait to get it back. Hemi engine is awesome. My third Dodge in 25 years, the 98 Durango never gave me any problems, had 170K on it, no power train work at all. Was gonna keep it, but my neighbor came over with an offer I could not refuse. Son 1 has an 06 Dakota, son 2 has an 87 Power Ram.

I've now reached 30,000 miles on my Hemi Big Horn Quad Cab with only two issues. A mismatched DC adapter caused the entire vehicle to shut down. Had to disconnect the battery to reset the system. Other is a crack in the windshield caused by a rock. This truck is absolutely fantastic. Smooth powerful ride, towing a 7000 lb boat over Cottonwood pass with ease. I consistently average 18 mpg at 75 mph. Heads turn and thumbs up from the style and rich wine red color. I bought this at the end of '08 for $20K off of sticker and I am completely satisfied with this vehicle. Awesome chrome package that other dodge owners have offered to buy time and time again.
