My truck recently went in the shop for a decent time period for the airbag clock spring clicking and some fender flares coming off. Luckily they gave me a loaner, even in the same color as mine. I was quite surprised how peppy the V6 is with the 8 speed and the 3.55 gears. It is lighter than my truck due to the shorter bed and smaller motor and gets up to speed pretty easily. I definitely missed the torque and sound of my Hemi but I could probably live with the smaller motor if I had to, aside from the noise at full tilt. The Express trim or whatever it was definitely lacked a lot of creature comforts compared to my Laramie however. The tiny radio screen was funny especially when using the backup camera.
I hauled a bed full of mulch for the wife and aside from being a bit unstable on bouncy roads, it moved it around fine. It didn't like backing up the angled driveway into my yard, had a few times where it wouldn't engage reverse.
I eventually found a good use for that missing glovebox!
