A Dodge would not be on my short list, but sounds like a good deal!

Good Luck!

That's an awesome motor, reliable and powerful.. but you'll pay for it at the pump. Expect to get 10-11 mpg tops. I have several freinds that have them and they all say the same thing.... "Love the motor, hate the fuel economy".

good thing is i'm two blocks from the train station. i put MAYBE two miles a week on my car. for local and family stuff we will rely on the bosses minivan. other than taking my pop out once a week and local stuff i dont drive around all that much. just want something with balls so when i do find a boat that fits i'll be ready to drag it home.

did i mention that my local ramp is about 3 tenths of a mile from my house. the next closest ramp is less than 4 miles away so i'll have a couple options without worrying too much about economy.

and maco, my first choice was chevy followed closely by ford but in this year range with mileage this low i cant beat the value.

sh!t, if i had macojoe money i'd burn mine and i'd be driving around in that beast that you do.

or better yet, willy money, brand new truck, new center console, hell i'd be living high on the hog.
