looking to get a cheap truck to tear up for work. dodge seems to be the cheapest. hemi v8, 4x4, and real crew cab not the 4 door double cab for less than 30k before haggling. seems like a great deal. Also find some nissan titans around the same price.
My dad had one for a while and never had any issues.
I spoke to an acquaintance that works at a ford/dodge dealership and he said the fords come back to the shop way more and the repairs are usually much more expensive.
I have a chevy now but it is near 200k. lots of issues are starting to pop up. They seem to be pushing the double cab with no legroom for the same price as the dodge full crew cab.

I have a Ram. No issues at 66k miles. It has the best ride of the big 4, however it also has the lowest resale.

Driving a Dodge is like screwing a fat girl. They get the job done, but you don’t want anyone in town to see you riding around with her.

They feel pretty cheap. The biggest complaint I have is that they have the lightest arse end of any pickup I've ever driven.

There are still going to be issues with any of the big manufacturers, but I got a 2001 Ram 1500 in the late summer of 2000. I drove it all through college, then my Dad kept it for a work truck a few years, and then gave it to my Uncle. He finally traded it in back in December of 2015. Never had a major problem in over 15 years. Just routine maintenance. The only reason he finally got rid of it was that he needed a 4x4 and wanted an extended cab.

Gas burner....I don't know. But if you're diesel shopping it's the only one to buy.

I'm driving a Duramax Denali 4x4 that exploded the high pressure fuel pump at 20k miles.
They all cost more than they're WORTH.

If you go that route, keep us informed of how it does. I personally think the Dodge is the better looking of the other full size out there. I'm trying to talk myself out of buying a 4x4.....but I feel like I'm going to cave. Especially if I have to bring my Excursion back to the shop again.

2014 1500 4x4 and put 80k on it so far.
No issues. I get 16 mpg average with all terrains. Very comfortable.

So those old opinions are exactly that, old
Are very accurate statements to sum it up. I had a 2012 Laramie 4x4 with the 5.7 and loved it, put somewhere around 90k on it without any major issues. I have known several people run them over 150k flawlessly. The 5.7 is a great engine, only got rid of it to get a '17 2500 with the 6.4.

You will have to deal with this from all the Ford,Chevy,and Toyota fanboys that are terrified to not be in the "cool" club

I have an 06 with a little over 119,000 miles on it. Haven’t had an issue with it, plan on getting another one when it’s time.

I drove Chevy Surburbans for years, had like six of them, switched to Dodge Ram in 2015 because the Checy Surb were like 60k, This truck has 60 thousand on it now and just had to put new 20 inch Goodyears on it. Love the ride and it averages 22 MPG with the Hemi. Truck hauls butt, will buy a new one next year, very nice truck. Paid 30 k out the door 2 wheel drive , bed liner and cover.

i sell new ford, ram, and gmc and I'M TELLING YOU THAT RAM IS THE BEST PRODUCT THAT I SELL. I know that no one believes it but you should believe me. my ram customers very very seldom call and complain with an issue. the other two call me all the time with some sort of problem. FACT!!!!
I know that most think of the reputation but that's changed drastically. trust me.

I have a 2014 Express Black Out edition, great truck with no issues. Few modifications I have a Diablo tuner with Hemifever tuning, cold air intake, 4” lift with aftermarket wheels and tires. I haven’t had any issues with my 4WD system and it used a pretty good bit.

Dodge = UGLY as H-E-L-L; but, will run forever.

I have a 2011 RAM 4-door, V8. 141k miles on it. Had 77-78k om it when I bought it 3 years ago. Truck runs like a champ. No major problems. I put it through hell to. It's not a car, it's a truck.
People who shite all over Rams have likely never driven one. I drove all 3 major brands with my previous company. RAM 1500s and 2500s; F-150s and F-250s, and Chevy/GMC 1500s, 2500s, and 3500s. RAM was by far my favorite, then Ford, and frick a GM. Towed trailers with all of them. Went off road in all of them. The RAMs always drove the best to me, followed by the Fords.

I had one for a couple years. No issues at all. Traded it for a Tundra, but should have kept the Ram.
