A used Dodge 2006, all wheel bearings went out had to put on new rotors new brakes, no help from the dealer on the bill, only had the truck three months and spent $1400.00 in repairs and it's in the shop now, yeah I'm happy with my Dodge."

"I bought my Ram several years ago after I conducted my own research between Dodge, Chevy and Ford. I have worked for a Sheriff's Office for ten years now and I have responded to numerous accidents. I first fell in love with Dodge ram when I responded to a Ford vs Dodge head on accident. The combined speed was 130 miles per hour and of coarse the Ford received the most damage. The Ram's passenger compartment was untouched and the driver only sustained a burn from the air bag. The driver of the Ford sustained a broken leg, broken sholder and an injury to his head. I responded to a roll over where a Dodge Ram rolled several times and again the driver only received minor injuries. I have a friend who ownes a Chevy and was in a roll over accident where he had to be cut out of his truck because the cab was so collapsed his rescuers thought he was smashed and feared dead. My truck has 150,000 miles on it now and I have only had to replace minor things. The truck is very dependable and it is has never failed me. I have several friends who I have recommended this truck to."
