Pros: Has a Cummin's diesel motor.
Cons: Don't try to modify these newer Dodge trucks.
The Bottom Line: Dodge seems to have an issue with their transmissions in this year. Do not try to modify this truck, the transmission cannot hold up to regular use.
I have been pestering Hubby's friend Chuck to let me drive his truck. You know the one with the Jake brake? Chuck owns a 2000 Dodge Ram, his truck also has the 5.9 Cummin's Diesel and is a 3/4-ton, with a GVWR of 8800 Lbs. Pretty much the same ...

Pros: I love this truck. The power, roominess, comfort level, and most of all, the styling.
Cons: The obvious, a big V-8 drinks alot of gas. A shorter wheelbase truck bounces alot.
The Bottom Line: If you just want basic power, performance, and a price that wont mortgage the farm, then this is your best buy!!
I bought this truck from a reputable internet dealer that was close to my residence. The truck had a clean carfax, an 8 yr, 80K extended warranty, and only 36K on the clock. The Kelly Safari SUV tires it came with looked like new. I replaced them 2 yrs ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: A big beefy truck. Roomy interior. Thoughtful accents for driver. Well laid out dash.
Cons: Tight suspension means a bumpy ride, even for a 4x4. Poor paint quality.
The Bottom Line: Cheapest of the big three, she can tow heavy loads comfortably and interior is ergonomic and well thought out.
I've got a 1500 4x4 SWB Quad Cab, with all the bells and whistles. If there's an option available, it's on this truck. I'm a 3 time Ram owner, this being my third. Each generation has gotten a little better, with no noticeable changes I don't like....

Pros: Carries 15 people
Cons: Uncomfortable (like all big vans)
This van is good at what it is made to do- move people. It doesn't really accelerate that well, and the ride is really bumpy. But, that is the case in most 15-passenger vans. The legroom is about equal to the Ford E-series. The seats really aren't that...

This truck is a very rare 1/2 ton 2WD mitsubishi diesel 6 cyl. There were...

Pros: its a truck, that knows its a truck
Cons: poor gas mileage, early in shop warranty work, lousy oem tires
The Bottom Line: if you want a real truck this is it. good looks, strong performer, if you want good mileage, soft plush ride look elsewhere or just buy a car
i waited along time to get this truck. it was everything i wanted in a 4x4 pickup. The off road package is a serious off road pkg.(not just a decal like some other makes)This pkg has skid plates everywhere, beefed up axles, off road shocks, and best of...
