My wife and I just got back from a 10 year anniversary trip to Kauai, Hawaii and were put into a 2008 Toyota Corolla rental car. First we were surprised by the fuel efficiency but when we returned home to our 2008 Dodge Ram hemi we realized that there was no comparison in the overall value. The comfort and utility was such a contrast to what we had rented that we both were very grateful we had made the right decision for our active family of four. Everywhere we drive we get nods of approval and our truck has gotten us safely through rugged Lake Tahoe winters and roads that the little Corolla couldn’t dream of.

And here I found my Dodge I have had to not only replace the steering box the headlights and the power steering pump and several other parts for this year I have had major hard times trying to buy certain parts. Like the power steering pump pulley no auto shops have access to it for a part that cost maybe $20 for every other make and model and year I paid 300 for and had to wait about a week and a half to get it from clear across the United States from where I live. The bolts for the power steering box gearbox the old one didn’t have the right ones on it I had to go to a boat factory because none of the auto shops had access to these bolts. I love my truck as far as the room goes but I will never own another touch again.I am so I’m impressed with the parts availability for my truck that it makes me sick. Not only that but there’s several little problems with it I’m not afford girl but they’re looking better than Dodge at this point

Best Truck Ever

This is the best truck I have ever owned. I have driven many many different trucks and I tell you without a shadow of a doubt this one takes the cake. It comes stock with an exhaust brake. It has plenty of room and more get up and go the it's earlier form the 5.9L. I was messing around with my cousin and we did a pull off with my truck vs his Ford and I drug him through the mud no problem. I love the best in class exterior design. no brick in the wind action like the Chevys. And the best of the best I can pull my 15,000lb trailer (even though it's not recomended) and still get 18mpg.

6.7 Cummins Diesel

the 6.7 is strong, bad thing is the diesel particulate filter stops up after time on normal driving conditions, not hauling heavy loads.
