This truck is so well designed nothing else come close. Unfortunately it is not all that well executed. Smart things: roughly 400 ft lbs torque; Rambox cargo management (super duper awesome); sotrace in general; great ride; great at pulling; nice sunroof; lots of cool storage places; decent sound system; really cool DVD player behind the radio screen; very capable off road; very comfortable and roomy front and back; seats 6; built in inverter; remote start works from thousands of feet away; great in snow; hauling and towing capacity; beefy suspension and brakes; hardle any rust even after 13 michigan winters on salted roads . Dumb things: two irridium spark plugs per cylinder (tune up costs $400); electronics go beserk (key fobs eventually had to be wrapped in foil to avoid randomly setting off alarm, starting turck, rolling down windows, etc, when just sitting there; drivers side heated seat only worked when it was over 40 degrees outside;tailgate super heaver and assist kept breaking; tools wore a hole int he rambox on one side; dim headlights even when new and really bad when older (drive with fog lights on for addded light); headlights wire too short to change bulbs without a second person to hold the lens assembly; take like ten things off the truck to change headlight bulb (including removing the entire grill); rear axle nut falls off (recall); bed is too high to reach into without a ladder (and I am 6'1"); late life expensive electrical problems (BCM went out, radio went beserk; remote start stopped working, sunroof quit working, a few other issues; engine seized up at 220,000 miles - disappointing. Overall I loved this truck despite the disappointing early engine failure at only 220,000 miles. In fact I replaced it with basically the exact same truck only a 2018. The 2018 corrected some of the problems, but added some new ones.

Love this truck! I ordered the regular cab short bed 5.7L Hemi 4x4 Sport. I've owned Chevy's and Fords, but never a Dodge. Did a lot of research before this purchase. For the first time in a long time, it's fun driving to and from work. This is a hot rod that can work as well. It corners, accelerates, hauls, and pulls a landscape trailer like it isn't even there. As others have said, the ride is phenomenal. Plenty of interior storage space, even though it's a regular cab. Did I mention I love this truck?

I have a 2009 dodge with 40000 miles and the engine is needing replaced. I was told there is no transferable warranty. If this is true I will never buy a dodge again. dodge the dodge you will cursre the day you bought it.
Totally let down - no customer loyalty

MANY owners have complained of a horrible MDS droan and vibration as well as a differential whine. Me included. These two conditions were A) not present during test drives or first 3000K miles (I wouldnt have purchased had I felt these issues!), B) not all owners have the problems and C) those that do have it to varying degrees, some really bad. However Chrysler Dodge, after not being able to fix the issues, has claimed its "AS PER DESIGN" and normal. As per design, to me, would mean by definition that it was present from day 1, all trucks had the condition, and all had it to the same degree. See full report at http://www.dodgeramhell.com/

I was looking for a Ford truck, I told the salesman no Dodge for me, and then saw a used 09 TRX crew with 6k miles we took it for a test drive and wow it drives great very smooth, i towed my 63 galaxy from FLA to NJ with no trouble. I had an 05 F-150 with a 4.6 before,the 4.7 on the Dodge is much smoother and has a lot more power and a little better fuel mileage, the interior is very nice also the last gen Dodge trucks looked very cheep on the inside.
