It can haul anything, but still get great mileage.
It is a good work truck. I like the heavy manual transmission, and the diesel engine. I wish the body was designed better so the wheel wells and doors didn't rust so easily.

My truck has a Cummins diesel motor and had proven to be very reliable.
I have had my truck for 15 years now. It has never left me stranded. I am not afraid to drive this truck anywhere. It is getting older now and some things are wearing out now but it is still comfortable to sit in and ride in for several miles at a time.

They are very reliable cars.
Like the sound and feel of the truck. It has a tuff feel to it. How ever the dashboard is made of a very cheap plastic.

It is mine and they can't have it. It is almost paid for and I don't think I will ever get rid of it.
I love that it is a diesel, which produces more torque and has plenty of horsepower for towing. It is comfortable and roomy. It is four wheel drive and has a long bed for additional storage space.

Four wheel drive cummins turbo.
I bought this truck used in 2005 with low miles and a good price. It is been a good dependable truck. I also pull a horse trailer with it. I love the heated leather seats in the wintertime. It also has the wood grain in the dash which is nice, good radio, air conditioning, cruise control and is four wheel drive. It gets decent mileage and has the cummins turbo in it. For the age of the truck I have had to put new brake lines in and replace some bearings and had to replace the front end.

A great full size pickup with lots of power!
190,000 miles and still running strong with lots of get up and go power featured with a v10 engine. This truck is a workhorse! Very roomy with comfortable leather seating. Quad cab for extra passenger seating or fold up the seats for gear storage. 4wd for off road travel and exploring. Towing package. Strong engine for towing. Biggest downfall is poor gas mileage. Averages 10-12 mpg. Otherwise, this truck is very dependable and a pleasure to drive!

It is worth more now then when i bought it
Love how long they last. Wish parts weren't so expensive. Wish tires lasted longer

Still going strong 2001 Dodge ram.
Extremely easy to travel many miles a day comfortably. If I get tired, the front or back seat is comfortable for me to sleep on. My 6 foot husband can also sleep just not as comfortable. We have over 200, 000 miles and we are just now seeing small items needing to be fixed. Nothing major yet, we use the "Verizon hum" plug in and it has showed several codes in the last 6 months. Cost &800 to repair dipstick holder, (broken by repair person). That is all except tires and tune ups that have been required since we purchased from father for $10, 000 in 2010.

Great size truck for a short person.
The truck is a nice size, single cab, with long bed. 4 wheel drive works great in the snow. Came with a bed liner which is great.

It rides great and it will pull a house down.
All of the Dodge dashes break. They all get bad gas mileage. All of their transmissions are weak and are expensive to replace.
