I have a 96 dodge ram 1500 with the 5.2L v8. Its a real smooth riding trouble free truck. The only expenses on it were with maintenance. I am very happy with this truck. I have had it since it was new and I plan on keeping it for another 10 or so years. The engine has 130000 miles on it and it still runs extremely strong. Hope this helps, Jess.

I have a 2005 1500 shortbed w/tow package in SLT trim w/20" wheels. 5 speed automatic, 4.7 litre,leather wheel, stereo w/cd, cruise/tilt, heated mirrors. I considered the hemi as I bought this new, but the economy turned me, off as I would be towing infrequently and the extra power wasn't worth the loss in economy for no more than I would "need" it. The 4.7 will still light up the 20's!
I simply love it EXCEPT the pedals seem to be a touch too hight from the floor and I can't quite find a comfortable foot position on the throttle. Guess that's why we have cruise control. Lastly, there are no rain gutters and sometimes when you open the door, you get a little shower.
If I cruise it lightly on the highway (no more than 63 mph), the computer says I get 20.3 mpg. Of course, pulling my car trailer gets about 12-14 range no matter what you do.
This is the second Dodge I ever owned and only the 3rd non-GM vehicle. I will but another Dodge Ram. I still love it!

I have a 2000 Dodge 2500 Van. It is one of the best (if not THE best) trucks I've ever had. It has a Dodge 360 engine with auto transmission, A/C, cruise, power mirrors, AM/FM/tape. It has 130,000 miles on it now and has no sign of quitting. Very low maintenence.
I had a 1999 Dodge 2500 Van (same package as above) and it got totaled in a wreck caused by a young girl driver. I drove the van from the crash sight, but the body would have cost $9,000 to fix and because I had almost 200,000 miles on it (I was the original owner), and the resale value on the van was only $6500. If it wouldn't have been in a wreck, I would still be driving it.

Great, I have 130,000 miles on a 318 Dodge Dakota. I do tow with it and because the Dakota has the down sized transmission, I've had to rebuild it twice. Other than that, just normal repairs. The engine is still strong and uses zero oil. The only thing that is broken right now is the radio volume control know doesn't respond well.

I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota R/T. I LOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEE it. The mean aggressive stance with the chrome 17" rims and the dual exhaust, plus its silver, no badges and she treats me well. Putting on some more engine and exterior mods and I'll be set. I don't plan on buying a car to replace this one for a while, maybe to just give it some time off (it will be my play truck then). Overall, I Love it.

1999 Dodge Ram 1500 4X4. 6" lift, 35" tires. Love the truck, bought it new...The Plenum seals blow allot, they have wheel bearing/front end issues and the cat/converters are junk... but all in all I have not had any real issues with this truck.
