Warranty Disapointment

When I purchased my vehicle it came with a lifetime warranty on the drivetrain. I was told by dodge corporate and sales people to keep all maintenance receipts and said warranty will stay if effect. There is a 5 year inspection that was never told to me. I did have the tuck inspected by a certified dodge dealer a two years after the 5 year mark! If the the truck passed at 7 years it would have passed at 5! Dodge corporate refused to reinstate my warranty even though I have every receipt for maintenance since I have owned my truck. Dodge corporate used the fine print over the employees of their dealership and refused to honor a certified report from the dealer stating the vehicle passsed. I would advise anyone looking for a new vehicle to look into any other brand but Dodge! UPDATE: 09-16-2017 as of this date dodge still refuses to honor the lifetime warranty for my Dodge Ram ! This is a sad way for Dodge corporate to slap the face of myself and its employees. To this date my truck still passes the required inspection from a certified Dodge dealer however corporate still refuses to reinstate the lifetime warranty! This was the main reason I purchased the vehicle in the first place! Once again i ask all who are looking to buy a new vehicle consider any other type vehicle but a Dodge product!! They will do anything they can to void their own promotions!!! Dodge corporate should be embarrassed!!! As of 03-19-18 still no call from Dodge ! They just want me to go away or for my truck to get wrecked for a total loss. How sad.

Edmunds doesn't have the sport package. I traded my 2004 Durango in when I started having issues with the tranny. This truck is awesome with the Hemi and the 20" tires. I also like the mirrors with the smaller blind spot mirror that swivels up for towing. The sport model is great with the heated seats and the electric sliding rear window. My daughter loves standing on the center console and out the sunroof. The truck rides like a very nice and has the power when I want it. I haven't gotten many comments on the truck and the Sunburst Orange color. This is all around a great truck. Couldn't be happier.

20,000 mile update

Well guys & gals, I'm at 21,020 miles and my bighorn 4.7 seems to be getting used to me. The drivers seat seems just a bit more comfortable (with a small tube pillow behind my lower back). I only need it on a long drive. Have not had a single problem so far. When I get my 6th and last free oil change from the dealer (at 25,000 miles), I will go with castrol syntec oil. One thing that I still don't like is the severe depreciation of the model. The sticker on mine was $36,200 and I got it for $22,100 with 1.6 miles on it. Like I read earlier, I feel sorry for the one whom pail close to sticker.

Every place I take it, I get the nice ride look or nod. Love the rear floading seats and storage. Please it has a Hemi. Sweet power and sounds great with the aid of flowmaster exhaust. If you don't have one, get one. If you have one, you know what I mean.

Great all around truck with plenty of power coming from the revamped Flex Fuel 4.7L coupled to a flawless 5 spd automatic. Interior very well designed and built with plenty of room to boot. Town MPG is very good for a V8.
