I am very happy with my new truck. Owned the 2000 1500 4X4 and put 135,000 on it with only a water pump break down but it was not enough truck to haul 2 horses. This truck sure is, I didn't realize what a difference the bigger truck would be. I have the gas engine and it is currently getting 18 mpg on the freeway same as the 1500. Towing I get about 13 mpg. Lots of get up and go with the trailer when I need it. Still getting used to the new interior design, trying to figure where to put things like sunglasses,storage under back seats is better than previous design. Ford friends say my mpg will decrease dramatically at about 60000 hope they are wrong and just looking for something to pick at.

Love this truck. Replaced a 2004 hemi 1500 and love this truck. Only bought because loved teh 1500 so much. Love the CTD and so smooth. getting around 15mpg city and bit more like 17-18mpg hwy and should increase like any broken in CTD.. Love the leather heated seats and sunroof. Paid a lot less then any Ford or Chevy and the power blows them away.

I have the new 6.7-Liter Cummins turbo diesel engine equipped with the six speed automatic transmission. I have to say that durability is very important to me. This truck has a ton of power, and has been reliable, even starting at -6 with no problem at all. The transmission shifts gears smoothly, never searching for the right gear as some others do. I would recommend this truck to anyone who is looking for a reliable truck that rides really smooth for a heavy duty ¾ truck.

I like the power of my Hemi. Turning is great compared to my old F250. Has 100 more horsepower and weighs 1000lbs less than the ford. The tire pressure light stay on unless you run 80LBS of air in the tires. Tows my 5th wheel with ease and with the long bed I have room for my across the bed tool box and still have room for my hitch. Plenty of room for turning the trailer when parking. With the HD option you have trouble lowering the rear end to the overloads. I haven't enjoyed driving a pickup as much in a long time. If you need a work truck for a decent price and fuel mileage it is a hard truck to beat. The only thing would change is go with upgraded interior and better paint.

This Dodge has been so amazing. I use to own a Chevy that always broke down. It's nice to know I finally have a truck I can rely on. It pulls my 5 horse slant trailer with leaving quarters with complete ease. I love my Dodge!
