Ive enjoyed the size and utility of this truck, BUT the power is weak, the tranny is lacking 1+ gears, it sucks more gas than a GM 6.0L (which generates way more power), the bearings in the rear end failed (constant whining sound) before 100K miles, and its been throwing trans temp light (in error) and engine codes randomly forever. Do not buy it. First and last Dodge Ill ever own.Sep 04, 2024
