Ok its that time again. Having another kid, time to upgrade.I am looking at an 06' Ram Big Horn Edition Hemi. Had some issues in the past with old truck and am looking for all the pros and cons for the newer generation. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! I tried to upload some photos but they were too big?

 

I love my Ram overall!! If I could change a few things......1. the tranny, it just seems like it is always hunting for a gear when cruising around town (could be the MDS??) 2. The soft suspension up front

Dont get me wrong though, this Truck is Great!

Overall you won't be disappointed. Had a friend test drive one and a week later he bought one, and before this he had never owned a dodge truck.

 

No other truck looks as good as the Dodge IMO.

They all work about the same for hauling kids. =)

 

Thanks for the response! I too will miss the Solid front, old truck is an 01 Ram 1500 Off Road Edition. Been a great truck just need to more full doors for the youngsters! All in all I'll be looking forward to an improvement in MPG! Looking at 9-11 on a good day! And I can't agree more, best looking truck on the road! And if anybody knows how to adjust picture size I'll be glad to put the old girl on here! Thanks again!

 

you'll love the truck. i get about 14-15 avg city, and yesterday drove to orlando and back (hour and a half drive each way) and got about 18 mpg at 74ish mph on cruise

 

I had a '98 RCSB 1500 lifted with 35"tires. My '04 QCSB Hemi 1500 is a huge improvement. HP and fuel economy is a NO CONTEST, torque is about the same. Only regret is losing the solid front axle. If I had to do it over again, I'd have opted for the 2500.
But over-all, no regrets. It's been a solid, dependable truck and the only issue to date has been a blown shock that was replaced under warranty and I really can't blame the shock, it's not the first factory shock I've blown...

 

Take a look at new 08's also. With the huge discounts you might make out better and get the lifetime powertrain warranty. My dealer has a used06 Hemi that is2k less thana new 08.

 

How much do they want for the truck?
