If anyone complains about towing it is because they got the wrong engine. I drove the Hemi but it is a little under powered for heavy hauling in the 2500/3500. It is more than adequate in the 1500. The Cummings H.O. pulls better, has better fuel mileage and is cheaper to maintain not to mention longer lasting. As for the tranny mine is rock solid. I had a 98 1500 and it was notorious for eating trannys. The new Dodge is a rock solid truck.

The automatic shifter on the column of the steering wheel does not accuratly tell if the vehicle is in Park or Reverse, Drive or Neutral. Can be very dangerous if vehicle is left running.

I have had Chevys and Dodge trucks. This thing is awesome. I drove the Hemi. It is good but the diesel will eat it up. I suggest the Hemi for the 1500. It drives as tight as my wifes 99 Benz. It is very quiet for a diesel. When you factor in the lower service costs for the diesel it pays for itself. If you are taking off it will keep up. If you are in the 40 mph range or higher and kick it in passing gear, hold on! It will surprise you. The ride is smooth even though it is a 2500. Dodge has some intense brakes. It stops with authority. Interior space is good. I use the fold flat floor in the rear. Great for grocieries or large bluky items.

I bought this truck in Alaska, then rolled it three times, three days later. It saved my wifes life. The state trooper on the scene said "she had never seen a truck take a beating and the person inside survive with NO injury's". She went out and bought one the next day. All it had after rolling three times was skin damage, easy fix. Only complaint I have is the cruise controls on the steering need to be lighted for night driving.
