Besides, I drove my dad's Ram 1500 the other day and it has 235K miles. Other than brakes, tires, and a fuel filter, he hasn't done anything to it. NO rattles, squeaks, leaks, or falling apart. Figured something has to be right on them!!!!!!

All dodge trucks get about the same mileage, 4.7, 5.9, or 5.7. Expect about 9 pulling and 13 averaged otherwise.

Nice truck Brian.

Thanks guys! I just ordered the leveling kit for it on ebay for $65 and hopefully will have that done next week.

I thought all the bull about the HEMI was just that - BULL****! - But after 700 miles, I can now say it is a bad MOFO!!!

should have got a tundra if you want fuel mileage and hp my tundra with the 5.7 gets 17-19 average with 12 towing a 20' lowboy with 40hp kubota 4wd with front end loader and tiller doing 65 on the hwy with no problem, but i do like the looks of them new dodges, oh and i only paid 23,500 for mine brand new with the double cab(wanted the 6.5 ft bed instead of the crew maxs 5) but now wish i would have forked out the extra cash on the 4wd
