Junk

Dodge won't fix their junk transmissions. Dodge dealer said they wouldn't fix transmission until it completely quit even though it was still under warranty. Seats becoming deformed with only 40k miles. High Performance tires are worthless in the snow and mud.

GREAT truck

My sister and her husband own one its been a head turner. LOTS of room in the back seat. Now I want one.No maintanence problems to report love the "tune-ups" in a diesel. Just consists of mainly spark plugs and wires. A++++++ choice.

I love this truck!

We have owned this trucked for a year now. The seats are so comfortable. I love the "big rig" look. Even though we have a 2WD, you'd never know it. And the power ... you'll never get passed up by anyone on the highway in this truck. We have never had any problems or expense with it besides the recommended maintenance. I would definately recommend to a friend and purchase another when gas prices get better.

Typical of most Chrysler vehicles I have owned.

This vehicle is going on 3 years old, and I have not had a single problem or complaint. It is a 4x4, 2500 Quad Cab, auto, and powered by Cummins Diesel. The truck handles very well with the trailer in tow. (10,000#) and has more than adequate power.

big bang for the buck.

I bought a 2004 dodge ram with a 5.7 hemi 6 months ago. This is one of the best trucks I have ever driven. Loads of power, comfortable ride, can pull a house clean off its foundation. It's an all around great truck.

Best Diesel I've ever had.

Truck is a 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 quad cab, six speed manual, Cummins 600. Loaded, long bed, 4X4. This truck runs like there's no tomorrow. The power under the hood is like no other diesel I've ever driven. Mine is mated to a 6-Spd which makes all the difference. Test drove several Autos and hated them. They shifted hard and sacrificed this engines power. Parking lots can be tight, it's a big truck. Usually park in BFE and walk. It does ride stiff. When they say heavy duty, they mean the truck and the ride. Visibility is great, seats are ok in cloth, great in power leather. Stereo is good. Reliabality is the name of the game with this truck. Service is simple, and the truck just goes and goes. Avg diesel economy at 35,000 miles is 21.3 mpg hwy.
