Yes.

All trucks are good with proper maintenance and care.

Also, if you can wait about 2 months. Southland Dodge in Houma uses their trucks to pull the MG floats in the Houma Parades. When they sell them, they come deeply discounted. I have 2 friends who've done this and haven't had any issues.

I have a 2014 Express Black Out Edition - only issue I have had was a small leak at the third break light which was easily fixed and they also replaced my rear seat due to it getting damp from the leak - other than that it has been a great truck on and off road - the hemi power is awesome.

First off I think there are 2 trucks here. Diesel vs gas. Dodge diesels I think have always been great trucks. Issue I used to have with Dodge is the non engine components seem to fall apart. I have a friend that has a 4 year old dodge with a big Crack in the dash. Engine wise the gas trucks seem much better than the past at least up to 125k miles. I don't think they'll do what a Toyota will do past 125k miles. I like the dodges a lot though and I'd probably buy one at this point. I think I'd go Ford first, Toyota second, Dodge 3rd and wouldn't even consider Chevy at this point.

my F150 has been in the shop for a month now
insurance rented me a ram 2500

I kinda...like it
it took a week or so but damn it's a solid truck
there is nothing there that would keep me from buying it and honestly I'm not really jonesing to get the ford back

I've always heard their trucks were built much better than their other vehicles. Wife has had a Journey and a Caliber. Both were pretty shitty.

Ram styles haven't progressed very much past 10 years imo

We had a fleet of 40 dodge trucks at our company. If I were to win a dodge, the ink on the title wouldn't be dry before it was for sale
