Money Hole
The fact that it had to go to the repair shop an extremely high amount of times while still under warranty should have been a heads up. Could have bought a new truck with money spent on repairs since. Several of the repairs have been safety concerns, like wheel studs breaking and tires falling off even after having met manufacturing recommendations for torque.

Not up to snuff
I was told this truck would get 20 mpg, wrong. On a good day it is 15. Don't believe the computer. It is much higher off the ground than my old truck so it makes getting things in and out the bed even harder. To date I have not had the reliability problems of others although it is often hard to sift into gear. Its towing is okay. The interior is poorly designed. During winter it is 4 wheel drive all the time otherwise skids. Chrysler went for power and appearance on this truck. I wish I had my 1996 back.
6.7 Cummins no good
I bought this truck brand new in February 2008. This is my first diesel so I wanted a cummins. I pull a 40 foot fifth wheel camper trailer. About 2 months after I bought the truck I started having trouble with the particulate filter on the exhaust system. The dealer I took it to told me that I didn't do enough heavy pulling to keep the filter cleaned out. Not everybody buys a 1 ton to constantly pull something with. The truck gets pretty good mpg, averaging about 8 mpg loaded and about 16 empty. I am not at all impressed with the 6.7 as it has less than 32,000 miles and is currently in the shop for the 3rd time. I've had lots of issues with the exhaust and now having injectors replaced.
No regrets
The Mega cab has the the room for comfort especially if you have children. the towing power is awesome, with the features to make towing safer. the Exhaust brake and tow haul feature make steep grades less stressful. We were completely blowen away when we used this feature. We love this truck. We have had no mechanical or electical problems with this truck. way to go Dodge
