Can't totally agree with you MJ. For the most part they have good engines and trannys. My Durango has 161K miles on it with everything original. 5.7L Hemi engine that gets an honest 22.5 miles per gallon on the highway, a towing capacity of 7500lbs, and the ability to blow the doors off a LOT of cars, trucks and SUV's that think they are all that.

Yes, some of their products have been real dogs, but I could say the same thing about Ford and GM. No one hits the 100% mark all the time.

Destroyer my 01 Quad cab 4x4 Dakota I totalled was one of my favorite trucks. I love my tahoe but that was a fast, powerful rig with the 4.7 in it. Other than the Hoe having alot more weight the Dakota towed a lot better power wise.

When my son was badly hurt in a motorcycle accident a few years ago I had to go to Az to be with him. I rented a Dakota sport cab with the 4.7 for a few weeks. Gotta say it was one of the most enjoyable pickups I've ever driven in that size class. Understand that I drove a Ford Ranger for 6 years and a GMC Canyon POS for another few. Both of them were way worse than the Dakota in ride, gas mileage, acceleration, etc.

Because you got a 2500, the 1500's with the 5.3L are ALOT better on gas.
