It's a diesel. Very good on fuel and looks very good.
It's a very strong running pickup with lots of power.
accountCircle Sherry L
That it is extremely comfortable.
Good truck, always runs good, it looks good, dogs have their own back seat. Diesel is expensive that is the only drawback.

It's a lightweight truck that I can easily park anywhere.
I love the performance of my truck, runs good, it's not too big for parking. It does not consume a lot of diesel. I love the color. I has not given me any hard issues for a year, just regular maintenance. It drives very good in the winter.

Dodge, better built more reliable than any other.
I love my vehicle. Inherited it when my dad died, it only has 40,000 miles on it this 19 years later it has 90,000. I have only had to replace tires, battery and radiator hose. Would not own anything else but a dodge. Best vehicles ever made. Very reliable and safe.

My First Diesel. Big on power and heavy load carrying ability.
She's tall and powerful. Easily hauls my hay. Because she's taller than a car, I am able to see far ahead as well as behind allowing me to adjust to highway conditions much more quickly than a smaller, lighter vehicle. I enjoy driving her and stay very alert and aware. Other women have commented that she is a safe truck for me to drive. The extended cab gives me adequate room for my tools and horse equipment. On the down side, I wish the bed were larger, I am currently having a problem with an oil leak which I have been able to locate and will soon mend. The ride is a little stiff, and she's a little awkward for me to maneuver in tight places as I am a short person.

Runs Great and continues to be a very reliable vehicle.
This truck has been amazing and has had very few issues in regards to performance. It is a gas guzzler which is the only negative thing I can say about it.

Great engine; heavy duty truck; it'll run forever.
It's getting older so minor things are starting to fail such as the water pump but it's easy to work on and the engine itself has never given me a single problem. It's a durable truck and it gets really great fuel mileage for being such a heavy duty truck. Iv had it for almost 5 years and it's never had a major issue. It's a cummins with 180k miles on it so it's barely broken in. My last cummins still runs and it has 450k + miles on it they're just such solid engines.

Dodge cummins 2002 2500 diesel
I bought the truck from a guy in Oregon and it needed a new fuel pump and steering stabilizer. Once it had that it drove perfect for about 3 years but now the transmission is about to go out. Overall it is a great truck really fun to drive and comfortable. I drive it to work and back everyday just across town and it has never once failed me.
