Traded Toyota... Don't regret it...

I traded my Tundra in on this truck.. and I got the big diesel $5K upgrade package with 4speed automatic. Loved my Toyota, but I bought a 10K lb. enclosed trailer and it felt like the trailer was driving the truck. I have no problem towing with this truck and recently did so in a level 3 snow emergency with no problem! My Tundra got 14-18 MPG... this gets 15-22mpg and it is a heck of a lot larger. 6'4" tall person fits comfortably in the back seat. The suspension is for towing... so it can be rough. Tundra could go 40mph over speedbumps and RR tracks.. Do that here and you get airborne, but that is expected. PS - use diesel conditioner in cold temperatures or it won't run. Dealer didn't mention that

You dont know what a truck is till you drive this beauty. Acceleration of a car with the feeling of a tank. This truck picks you up and never lets you down. Best truck I ever owned.

This Monster Is a Blast!

I bought my Dodge 2500 SLT 4x4 Crew Cab and was immediately impressed with the overall appearance compared to previous Dodge models. The ride is stiff as could be expected from a truck this size. Although the power is impressive from the Hemi, the handling is not as good as you might expect. I've noticed that the trucks body is higher (hood) then equivilent Fords and Chevy's I have compared it to. Get ready spend some money at the pump after purchasing this pig! Average fuel consumption is between 13-14 mpg. Overall, I really like it, and I cannot imagine myself in anything else on the market right now.

I am really impressed with the build quality of this Dodge. The fit and finish, both interior & exterior, is several steps above GMC. The Ford fit and finish was pretty good, but the doors and seat material felt cheep and flimsy. I didn't care for the dated dash either. The F-250 SD steering was horribly vague as well. This Dodge truck is so incredible that I had to have one and I wasn't even in the market for a new truck, but made the mistake of driving one (helping a family member - test drove all 3 brands). True, the ride is a bit firm the first few hundred miles, but it improves.
