I've had horrible experiences with Dodge. Good luck. Will never buy Dodge again.

Love my 2012. Wish I had the new air ride system.

Love my 2010. Drove GM for many years, got out of trucks and drove a smaller SUV for a few years. Decided to go back to a truck...drove a 2010 Chevy, not impressed. Drove the Dodge after reading several reviews. I was skeptical but was blown away by the refinement in comparison. Have a friend with a Ford, it is a nice truck but the ride isn't as nice and I don't think the seats are nearly as comfortable on long trips.

To be honest, it's really a toss up unless you are buying something used. 100k warranty so it doesn't matter if it breaks. Dunno if they give out loner vehicles like BMW, Audi, and MBenz though

If the Tundras weren't ugly, I'd get one. To each his own though

I hear they are way better than they used to be.

Plus, Samuel Pack Elliott ain't no liar.

Enjoy.

They've come a long long long ways.

I wouldn't nearly be scared of them. The MDS system sucks though.

As long as it isn't green with KM2s he'll probably be good.

I've got some MTZs sitting in my shed if you want them. You could probably get another 10k on them in that little truck

Much better ride than my F150 and better MPG. Not as much power or towing capacity but still very good trucks. I will look at them again before buying again.

Hell I got 10k left on the ones I have.

I'll have TSL radials next firewood season. Or boggers.

No more "mud tires" for downshift. I'm gettin the real shite from now on.

One thing I can't knock the KM2's for is street life. Them frickers LAST

I don't think you made a bad choice.

Dodge got a bad rep in the past that they somewhat deserved. They've come a long way.

Yeah, you also can't knock Rugged Trails for street life. BFG turned those tires into straight rock crawlers after having one of the best molds for 25yrs.

Boggers work well for straight line mud, but on anything off-camber, like a ditch, you are going sliding.


LTB>bias TSL>Bogger>TSL>SSR>Irok bias>Irok

Only other ones I can think of the Trxus, M16, Thornturds, and STS. Trxus are the only decent one out of those, and I mean decent


The MTZs were pretty good mud tires. I'd say they are equivalent to the original BFG MT KM

I laid hands on one and honestly, the steel around the bed felt thin to me, FWIW. I don't care for the interiors.

The owners love them, though.
