Very reliable truck with lots of power.

This truck was reliable had lots of interior space and a large truck bed for cargo. The 5.7l hemi was also both fun to drive and useful when hauling things.

Needed extensive repairs within 3 weeks

Haven't been able to use it long relating to major repairs. Had 5500 dollars worth of work so far... Even though we paid for warranty

Very happy with this Dodge truck

This truck has been very reliable. We like the four wheel drive a lot. We really like Dodges and would buy another one for sure.

Best used pickup for the money.

I got a 2005 slt with the 4.7 v8 rwd for $7,800. This truck is amazing I must say, 112,500 trouble free miles other than regular matinence. My realistic cons include: parking, side seat upholstery, miles per gallon, and petal squeaks.

Great truck!

Fantastic truck for people that need spacious vehicles! I love that I don't feel cramped at all. Gets good gas mileage for a truck. I never have to worry about getting stuck because of the four wheel drive. Lots of storage and the back seats fold up for even more space.
