Dunno if you saw my earlier reply, but my buddy had an 06 and it was a lemon. Total turd.
Rated at 270hp and couldn't break the Michleans loose. At least my truck tries. lol
It was comfy tho.

I am glad I bought all my dodges. Doesn't mean I haven't had problems, but in my experience they are the toughest trucks. I will keep buying them as the deals appear

^Until you start having to deal with the annoying little electrical gremlins that sometimes plague these trucks.
I've been lucky, 3 years and no electrical problems.

Eh. I'm happy with both my dodges. Happy with both my fords. Never had an issue with any.
I'm just glad that now trucks are built here in America. In 05 I would clown on the idiots who thought their "big 3 American" truck was built in America. And yet my Titan was only truck designed/tested/built in America. Supporting Americans. Tell you what, best truck I owned. This is coming from an 01 ram sport 4x4.
But needless to say these last few years, ram and Chrysler haves stepped up their game. Along with ford and..well that's it lol
If I was to buy a truck tomorrow it would be a ram but wouldn't hesitate on a ford if no rams were In stock.

Pretty sure the warren plant in norther states (America) makes the 1500.
Pretty sure the 2500 and up is in Mexico. We ordered 3,500 2012 & 2013 ram 2500 and on our first train delivery I think the build sheets said Mexico.
