Triathelete of trucks

Some trucks are haul more, like the D-Max's, some are faster, like the Ford Lighting. Some trucks are more luxurious, like the Cadillac. But the C3 does it all and well. Weather you're hauling the boat to the lake for the weekend, driving up to the ski area, or taking the wife out to a nice dinner, the C3 does it all. The C3 is the ultimate truck.

C3 Pick Up or sports car?

The C3 is a great truck but it has a few areas that need improvement. I bought it because I wanted a standard pickup with the 6.0 engine and AWD. Mileage is about 15.5 mpg, it pulls a boat well and is comfortable to drive.

One Great Truck

75,000 from original Michelin Cross Terrain tires and they looked good on the way off, just felt like buying a set. Still on original brakes. I have never spun a tire with the full time AWD. Solid tow vehicle. The weight and balance is such that the ride will amaze. A different league from my prior Z-71. The window sticker said 14 and 12 mpg, thank goodness it was wrong. I can get 17+ on highway at about 70mph light load, but 16 is more the norm. For 80,000 I have averaged 15.5 per the computer which is pretty accurate. If you tow something heavy look for 11-12. GM pretty well hit the nail on the head with this truck. Good paint, still looks new.

I bought this truck to pull a 5th wheel trailer. I towed the 5th wheel very little because my son wanted to pull it with his truck. I did pull flatbed trailers with farm tractor and pulled loads of feed and hay. This truck exceeded all my expectations. It is tough, fun to drive and classy.

Simply put: The best vehicle on the road

The Dodge dealer couldn't stand having a truck on its lot that looked better than all of the Dodge trucks around it, so I got a great deal. First impression: The best looking truck I'd ever seen. (I have the black one.) Second impression: The most powerful truck I'd ever driven. Third impression: The most versatile vehicle man has ever made. I can't say enough good things. If I want to go out on the town, I get it detailed, and it turns heads. If I need to tow 9000 lbs through the mud, I don't hesitate, and neither does the truck. I bought my C3 with 25k miles, and now have 122k miles. I've owned 15 cars/trucks - this is the best by far. From the other reviews, I'm not alone!
