2010 Dodge Pickups?

[Lason]

I bought a new 2003 dodge and had it till last year when I sold it to get a suburban. I loved that truck! The seats left a bit to be desired but other than that and some warranty work that happened the first year I had it, the thing ran like a champ!

I have heard alot of good stuff about the new ones, Im personally not a fan of the exterior styling though. My favorites were the models like I had.

5 year / 100K mile warranty. People I know who have the new Rams are very happy with overall performance, especially those that stepped up to the Hemi.

I bought new since the restyle in 1994

94 shortbox 4x4 360

96 short ext cab 4x4

2000 shortbox quad cab diesel 2500 2wd

2004 shortbox 4 door hemi 2wd

Not one of those trucks ever had to be taken to the dealership for any repair of any kind

Just normal oil changes

My friend bought the 2004 from me, last time we talked he had 194,000 on it and still had not had any problems and it was still getting 19-20 on the hwy

95 dodge 2500 2wd 5spd with only 260k diesel
96 dodge 2500 2wd auto with 406k diesel

I have been test driving them for about a year now waiting to pay down some debt to get a new one. When I was looking at the '10's I could have bought a Laramie with NAV for 28,000. Anyone know if they have started the badass deals on the '11's yet? Thinking about picking one up when I get home in feb.

Not a fan but to each his own.

Why? So they can hunt for gears all day? I hear that complaint all the time about the Chevy's and Exploders. Toyota seemed fine but what's the rebuild cost going to be?

The dodge 5 speed actually has 6 gears. It has 2 second gears...one for off the line accelleration, and a higher second for downshifts on the highway. Pretty good ratios and it works just fine, cheaper to rebuild later and generates less heat with fewer shifts. It's been around since 2001 or so and we had 4 of the transmissions in trucks over the years. Zero problems.

It would have helped their performance.

Never heard of a vehicle having two 2nd gears? Off line acceleration?? That would be first would it not? My jap truck is a 6 speed auto and so is my brothers 6.2 chevy truck. Nothing wrong with the way they shift what so ever.

But like I said earlier, I think they look great now days. Plus they put the 5.7 in all trim levels for the most part. Ford and Chevy only put their 6.2's in trucks most people can't afford.

I had an 07 Hemi QC...ran like a champ! Loved that truck but sold it to get a Power Stroke!
