Sweet
Comfortable and solidly built, I love this truck. Powerful, and quick, the Hemi is a fun engine. Transmission is strong and smooth.

CUMMINS POWER!!!
The ONLY diesel rated "Medium Duty" in a small pickup! (Dodge should advertise this fact!) I thought the 15 liter Signature Series Cummins in my Peterbilt was impressive! If you don't know diesels don't let the "6cyl" fool you. This engine will stomp the other V- 8's! A straight "6" is the optimal config. for a "Work Horse Diesel" 99% of all "Long Haul" diesels are striaght 6's "Not" V-8's. Listen folks. I've driven Cat's, Detroit's, and Cummins for nearly 2 million miles, and this engine is simply a smaller version of the engine I make a living with. Who care's about Dodge, (though it's a nice truck) buy the truck for the cummins!!
Awesome diesel
I never owned a dodge until I bought the 2004 2500 SLT Clubcab with the HO Cummins diesel engine. Impressive from the start with styling, ride, acceleration, towing capacity and interior room. Add great mileage, low maintenance and you have one great truck. The automatic transmission makes a big difference. I was looking at hlf tons, both Ford and Nissan, until I drove the 2500 Cummins diesel! No contest, and virtually got the 2500 for the price of the half tons. My recommendation....buy one, you won't be sorry.
J's Review
Hemi powerplant is awesome. I've never been in a big truck that moved like this one. I can punch in and out of traffic like a sports car (taking vehicle size into account)
