I needed a truck to pull a 12,500 lb trailer and this is it. I bought the new "600" diesel with a six speed manual. This truck pulls great and the manual shifts very smooth.

I own a 2004 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT 4x4 HO Diesel and I love it. It is a great truck for hauling anything and it looks very nice. I have it in Patriot Blue, my personal favorite. It gets almost 20 mpg on average. Everywhere I go people stare and ask all about it. I did my research before buying and ending up getting a great deal on a great truck.

First diesel and will never go back to gasoline. Unbelieveable power, will pull anything you can hitch up. A bonus is the fuel mileage, I get 17-19 around town and get 21-22 on interstate when keeping it around 62- 65 mph, around 2000 rpm. Get above that and it drops to around 18 empty. Pulling my trailer with about 3500- 4000 lbs, I get 15 mpg. Much better than my previous gas truck. Ride is a stiff, but what do you expect from a 1 ton truck. It drives well and is responsive for a big truck. Spend extra for the Infinity sound system, it's worth it. Should also consider more agressive tires if going off road any, stock tires are more for street. So far, not a single problem with the truck.

THE TRUCK HAS PERFORMED AS WELL AS ANYONE COULD ASK FOR. THE FUEL ECOMOMY IS GREAT, WHILE STILL HAVING LOTS OF POWER TO PULL MY 33 FOOT FIFTH WHEEL. THIS IS MY SECOND CUMMINS ENGINE, AND WILL NOT BE THE LAST. I AM A FORD GUY USUALLY, BUT THE POWERSTROKE DOES NOTHING FOR ME. IT IS STILL NOISEY, LIKE THE OLD 7.3, AND DON'T SEEM TO PULL AS WELL.

THE NEW 04'S ARE FREAKING AWESOME. THE NEW TRANSMISSION SHIFTS SMOOTHLY. THE TOW/HAUL FEATURE WORKS GREAT WHEN TOWING A BIG LOAD OR DESENDING A STEEP GRADE. THE INTERIOR IS THE BEST IN THE INDUSTRY. THE BACK SEAT COULD USE 4" MORE INCHES, BUT IS MUCH IMPROVED OVER PREVIOUS MODELS
