One heck of a medium duty truck
Cummins standard output, 5 spd with NO problems, never been back to the dealer. Milage 15-17 with a lead foot. I've had 4 tons of dirt in the box several times, drove 25 miles and it did well. I can tow a 12K 5th wheel trailer all day at 75 with 12 mpg. I was a Chevy man, but I had a lot of bad luck with 'em. I hope to buy a new '03 3500 Dodge Cummins HO soon. I think the '01s & '02s are more HD than the '03s. My last truck was a '96 2500 V-10 & doubled my milage with the Cummins, but the v-10 was GREAT. Dodge/Cummins is the only medium duty rated truck on the market.
very pleased
remember what this truck is bought and used for and there is nothing that can compair. it is not a benz, its a work truck
Great Truck!
Have had a problem with the posi in rear end, repaired twice & still doesn't work. Other than that it gets good gas mileage, power of cummins is great, pleanty of power, tows 4 horse trailer with heavy camper with little problems. Comfortable for 2 people on long trips. Great manuverability, parks easy, turns around-much better that Ford. Would buy another for the wife if I could afford it!
Pulling Machine
This has been a great truck. Have not had a single problem and have 31K miles. Avg 18MPG in everyday use and up to 21 highway. Avg 13MPG pulling 8500 boat from Salt Lake City to Seattle. HO diesel linked to six speed pulls great. Put it in 1st and I can idle out of the boat launch. With a winch on the front and the wheel base it's a little long for parking. Rides fine for a truck with heavy duty camper package.
work truck... great looks
This has been a great truck. Looks great and gets loads of complements. My wife loves to drive it. It handels all of the work my lawn & landscaping company can throw at it. Great for Snow removal
