My dad brought this truck brand new back in 97 and its still running. We put it to the test hauling heavy loads that weighed close to 11,000 every summer and fall it never seem to disappoint. Now the truck is almost 20 years old and still running good with regular maintenance every year who knows how far our farm truck will go. Our truck has the 360 magnum with a 5 speed manual transmission with overdrive which is a good truck on and off road.

Overall, I have been very happy with this truck. I've used it to both haul horses across the country and to run around town. Always draws looks with its attractiveness, although the VERY loud diesel engine makes the compliments hard to hear! Only problems have been with electical/computer elements (sending units specifically) and I've had a hard time pinning Dodge down on repairing them under my extended warranty.

Definate problem with power steering leaks. Expensive to fix. I have had this truck 1 month and have spent a $1000 fixing it. It has been in the shop more that I have driven it. I hoping the repairs are done for awhile, only time will tell. It's a great looking truck and should preform outstandingly, I still have high hopes for improvement!
Optional O/D when works

Tough truck overall but 5 speed manual transmission has serious design defect on models with diesel engine. Fifth gear retaining nut tends to loosen rendering overdrive inoperable. When everything works will pull my 9000 pounds travel trailer with ease. Engine noise is rather loud in comparison with other makes.
Bye Bye Toyota

This truck has been more reliable than my last three cars put together. As far I'm concerned Toyota should stay out of the car AND truck business.
