as far as dodges go, I have a 97, i am a big 12 valve fan, good good fuel milage (21-23 WITH my foot int he turbo) pulls dern near anything. all the way up to 05 is a good dodge pickup. they have had prblems witht he auto trannys, but really, if you take care of it with regular maintinence, you'll be good. assuming you dont make 900 ft/lbs of torque.

in general, stay the heck away from all new diesels. crap crap crap crap, terrible milage, no power with a trailer, no soot (what gives???) too much unproven tech on them, they;; be eatin the shops up after 100k miles.

what is wrong with the 06 and early 07's with the 5.9's in them.
i have a 07 with the 5.9 and i havent had any problems with it and also im not very easy on it either.
