Interior could use some work

My previous truck was an 07 Chevy Avalanche Z71 so the bar for comfort and nice ride has been set to a level that not many trucks will achieve. On the other hand, comparing the ride of a 1 ton work truck to a 1/2 ton luxury truck isn't exactly fair. The Dodge does a good job but does fall short in interior comfort. The dashboard controls aren't laid out with ease of use in mind. The gauge cluster is small and crowded and the steering wheel is so small it looks like they took it out of a small sedan.

Overall, not a bad truck, but not the greatest. It's got tons of power, and has really good fuel mileage at the same time(22 mpg). The interior is ok, except for that cheap plastic look. Its a rough ride though, but its a one tonne. The odd sized tires are bad too, go for 16's again. Also, the body paneling is very thin, you look at it, its dented. I want to get a new truck because the 2004 and 2005 Rams were the worst when it comes to reliability, proved that one with this truck. It will probably be a new 2008 Dodge Ram 4500 or a GMC 3500. I hear those trucks aren't too bad.

I have owned all (top three) full size trucks and this one by far is superior in all aspects. I could not believe my computer when it was registering 25-27 mpg especially the 3500 diesel. But when manually calculating the mileage I actually made it to 26-28mpg.!!! Then running BioDiesel it definitely improved performance and mpg. Thanks DODGE!

Was a little hesitant of buying this large of a truck with only a 5.7 ltr. but although the new Hemi is completly Different from the old 426 this truck has not disappointed in the power department. and gets 12 miles to the gallon combined driving.
