sorry, thats probably pretty important 4x4 with the 20 in wheels

 

I am very new to this site as well. But have found a ton of good info. I am new here because I just got a 06 2500 with the Hemi. All I can say is WOW. I love this truck!

 

4x4 mileage?

 

I have an 06 Quad Cab with the Hemi. I constantly get 12-13 MPG out of mine. It's pretty much a 50/50 mix of highway/city driving. If you're looking for good mileage, you are barking up the wrong tree!

 

Oh wow, not what I expected....what does the 4.7L get?

 

I prefer the '04 & '05s to the '06+ 4x4s. I'm not a fan of MDS (which is on all 06+ 1500 Hemi's except Mega Cabs) by any stretch of the imagination, but of course you can disable it with a tuner.
The biggest problem I have with the 06+ 4x4s is that they use a coil over IFS as opposed to the torsion bar IFS used on the '02-'05 4x4s.
Do a search in this section, many, many people are having issues with the front end vibrating, often severely, which is known as a "death wobble". It is most often encountered with people who have lifted or even just leveled the front of their trucks, but has also been reported by people who drive theirs stock.
I have NEVER heard of the complaint by anyone with the torsion bar front ends.
IMO the '04s and '05s are functionally, the best of the 4x4 Dodge 1500s. If you can find one with reasonably low mileage and in great shape at a good price, jump on it!!!

 

Pretty much the same and with 100hp less. Think how those guys feel....lol


I'm at 11/12mpg towing mixed and truck by itself 12/13 city 15highway(80mph) 16 highway going easy(under 70mph)

 

Yeah I think I still want a hemi...most driving will be 7 mi to work 2 in town and 5 highway.

 

In your guys opinions whats and 05 or ram 1500 SLT 4x4 worth in good condition with about 40-60K miles????

 

$12-15k depending upon condition and options
