The best truck i have bought to date

this new 04 truck is by far the best truck i have had yet. I love the ride, the power and the 6 speed.

this thing pulls my 14,000 lb bobcat trailer like nothing else. After i got about 1000 miles on it i took my heaviest trailer (mentioned above) and went up the longest steepest hill around at 62 miles per hour in 5th gear.

my mileage has been good too. averaging around 17 empty without much highway. I have been getting around 12 with the bobcat trailer.

I dropped the truck off yesterday morning to have the rhino liner installed and the air compressor at the shop quit working so i couldnt get my truck back until this afternoon. I had to drive the 03 ford psd,which i havent driven in while, needless to say i couldnt get back in my dodge soon enough. I am not saying the ford is a bad truck but after driving my dodge for a couple weeks the differences are remarkable.

I think they have the complete package with this model.

just wanted to post a positive thread, i love my truck.
