Bad Paint Real Bad ride w/ Trailers

After receiving my black Dodge the clear coat would not protect the paint even w/ extra care . Bought this for hauling goose neck trailers. What I got was a truck equiped with a roller coaster past life that reminds you at 35 empty and 55 loaded that it is not designed for pulling trailers. The 4x4 dully long bed has a drive line alignement problem that can not be fixed. 7,000 miles on a $43,000 trk and its the worst ever.

This is the third Dodge 3500 I have owned- and I still have them all! Two 4X4's and the new 4X2. This is still a workhorse, but very quiet. Still the strong pull that we all expect. I would not hesitate to recommend this to all!

So far with about 11,000 miles, no problems, rides good, handles well. I tow a 15,000 pound 38 foot RV back and forth from New York to Florida with no problems. More than enough power and the automatic transmission works well. For a 1 ton truck it rides well, my back doen't bother me on my trips. I tried out a Ford, but the Cummings is far superior.

What can i say? Best drive train (with the standard) and the best deisel engine available in a light duty truck - people are getting over a million km with them. I love the manual transfer case and solid axles.

had a chevy suburban pulling a 10,000lbs trailer and the 454 always ran hot and lacked power. Got the new dodge with the Cummins diesel and this thing is one pulling machine. up the hills at 60mph where before I wasn't sure if I would even make them with out overheating. Love my new truck. cool features and a great deal at this dealer ship no hassles and 10,000 dollars below sticker.
