Could not be happier
This truck is a true joy to drive. It has an ungodly amout of power from 1000 rpm's all the way through 3250. If I feel sporty I can chirp my BFG 35x12.5x17's when shifting from 2 to 3! The truck still retains nimble handling and a good ride quality. There are no rattles and the sound system is incredible. I can not say one bad thing about the truck. None.
Tough pickup, bulletproof drivetrain!
My '03 2500 Ram has the Hemi and 4x4. I work in fields all over the country so I needed a tough pickup. I have been from Oregon to Maine with this truck. I lifted my Dodge 6" on 35" tires and it works very well. I get about 9-11 MPG which isn't good but I bought the truck with 30,000 on it and have 89,000 and it has always been there for me. My last Ram had over 300,000 on it with the 5.9. My truck has been everywhere with me and has been so reliable I would trust it another 10 years.
Wife's new love.
4x4, 4-door Hemi 2500-It's handsome, tall and very rugged. After recently suffering the woes of owning an IFS 4x4 Chevy, I was ready for a solid front axle truck. That doesn't exist in the 1/2-ton class, so bring on the 3/4-ton class. Choosing between the Ford and Dodge was easy (Chevy's HD trucks are all IFS). The Dodge AAM axles are larger, the Dodge standard gas engine (HEMI) is more powerful and efficient, and the Dodge price was better. YES, the truck is fast. It's a 6000lb, 3/4ton truck that does a 17.5sec 1/4 mile, or can haul my 4-horse trailer.
Great Truck, Great Price!
Being a Chevy man my whole life this was a big change for me to buy a new Dodge. But I got an SLT Diesel 4-door 3/4 ton 4X4 for UNDER $30,000! A comparable Chevy was over $35,000. As a plus, I got a better warranty and the ledgendary reliabiliy of the Cummins engine. Granted, I only have 2,000 miles on the truck so far, but am extremely happy with it in every way. Fuel mileage isn't quite what I expected (21 mpg highway, 16 city) but should improve over time.
Great truck, Great price!
I've always been a "Chevy man" but when it was time to buy my first new truck, I couldn't look the other way when presented with the facts: -Twice the (powertrain) warranty -More horsepower and torque -Better mileage -Legendary Cummins motor -About $5,000 cheaper etc, etc. Looks great, handles great (for a truck), tows great. Stops on a dime. Couldn't ask for anything more. I'm am extremely satisfied with this vehicle. 21,000 problem free miles so far.
