Great vehicle for pulling
It's been a great pickup so far. We pull a lot and have never had any issues. It has plenty of power for everything that we need it for.

I think others should know that it is a very reliable, strong and durable vehicle.
I like it because it's strong and well built. I rarely have an issue. The only thing I dislike is dodge vehicles rust easily.

That's mama's truck "stay away" and get out of the way.
My vehicle is a big 4 door dually with a big guard rack on the front. I love this vehicle because it can go anywhere or through anything. It's big and roomy to haul anyone or anything. I dislike that it's so tall, I have to use a big block to get in. Also I love the color, which is a deep blue.

Dependable and hauls nicely.
We own a farm and haul constantly. Our Dodge had been the most dependable vehicle we have ever owned.

Would be a great farm vehicle.
Our truck is amazing, it pulls cattle and horses along with other things. Very dependable truck. The only bad thing about it is the seats tear easily. We use it for everything. The vehicle is best for farm work and pulling things. We mainly use ours for moving farm equipment and it does its job.

Mileage and performance are exceptional.
Runs and drives great. I tow my 5th wheel with it. It weighs more than my current truck. Over 12000 thousand lbs. I have owned it for 4 years with no problems. I am so glad 2own a great truck. It is diesel, I get 22 miles a gallon hwy. The truck has a performance chip. It can be set up to your liking.

Lots of power. But exhaust issues make it a pain.
The exhaust system has lots of issue. I am slowly upgrading to aftermarket parts to eliminate the issues.
