Does anybody here own the hemi?

[step up here]

my son has a rumble bee for the last five years had no trouble at all. he never let me drive it so i can not tell you anymore. but i dont think you can pull too many of those double decker train cars with it!

hey man....all these guys can have their ford and chevy trucks. I had the Hemi Ram for a little over a year. Had to sell it, but I will answer any questions I can. Great Truck! Tons of power and torque! I miss that truck

I do own a ford explorer, and I love it, but when it comes to a truck...I'm a Dodge man.

hey cy, i was kind of concerned with the longevity of the hemi because in my price range i'll most likely be looking at trucks with around 100k on them. maybe a bit less but these things are actually pretty hard to find. i would love to find another base model as all that leather and power crap is for f@g$.
tell me what you liked about it.
tell me what you didnt.

and let me add that although i think all the big three are hot, i have to say the dodge is pretty sick looking.

honestly there was nothing I didn't like about it. Mine had the big center console so it only sat 5 people, but i loved that console. You could put anything in there. it always had plenty of power, whether pulling the V or hauling a ton and a half of sand. gas mileage was great in my opinion...it got 15 city and 19-21 highway. Mine had the motor that shut 4 cylinders off when they were not needed. It really helped on the fuel mileage. I put the hard folding toneau cover on it, so the bed became a huge trunk.

I had the cloth seats which were great....I am not a big fan of leather either.

All in all, I loved that truck and it never let me down. I bought it brand new and it had 32K miles on it when I traded it in. Hated doing it but I took a pay cut at work due to the economy and just couldn't afford that big payment anymore. Wish I still had it

[charlie_the_tuna]

all good to hear. i wish i could afford a brand new one but thats the way it goes. as i mentioned earlier i have two boat ramps within 3 or so miles from my house, one right down the block. when i drive to the train station i put less than two miles a week on my car, so i'm not really too concerned with mileage. i've never one with a console but then again i cant find too many of these things altogether.
the search goes on and i'll keep you all posted as to how goes the search.

Charlie, i'm thinking of selling my wife's 2005 suburban, if you interested let me know.
