I love the Ram line of trucks no matter what year, I work next to a ford and GM dealer and have to listen to people talk about F150's and Sierras all day and talk about how great they are. I think if your look through the generations with the progress the Dodge continues to make with these vehicles its impressive. The styling, the performance, the durability its all amazing. Ive had my 04 for about 3 years now and i have hammered that truck from california to pennsylvania, sub zero tempartures, record snowstorms, buried in mud, scorching desert heat and hitting the sand dunes and i have never had to replace anything major. One control arm, and swap some fluids. The only other vehicle ive owned that was this reliable was my 89 Toyota Sr5, that puppy had 380k on it when the motor finally went on it. Im a strong beliver in the RAM product line and back it 100%.
