It seems with dodge trucks in general....

1. Front end issues, struts, ball joints is a big 1, our truck seems to have sway bar issues

2. Automatic transmissions.


Since all our trucks are pretty new, there hasn't been a ton of issues popping up yet BUT, for the few that have, it has been with the front end and the auto tranny, no big suprise there!

I myself had a power steering rack replaced, and my struts seem to be at the end of there life. I have 34,000 miles. I find that acceptable, the rack was probablly just a fluke.

Overall the truck has been pretty good.
