Yea, one of those things you can not really answer. But the 3rd Gen Hemis would be a good gauge. Granted, the Hemi is a but different, but the other parts.... Like the tranny, rear axle, are the same.
I am not worried about it... When I start pushing 6 digits on the odometer I will be ordering a new truck. It will do 100K without an issue. I am almost 1/3 of the way there. No major mechanical issues. Had about 5 RRTs, downside to buying a new truck. I really broke one of my rules... That being do not buy a new vehicle in its first year.

well let's see here...
I have every expectation that my 09' will last a lifetime (lifetime PT warranty and bumper 2 bumper x-tended warranty). My dad had an 88' 1/2 ton with a 318. It went through 6 transmissions and had the entire front end replaced on it 5 times ( due to five different accidents my dad found himself in) and he finally gave it away about 2 months ago with almost 420k miles on it.. motor ran plenty strong still did not burn oil, and could roast the tires off the dang thing. My goal is to let Dodge help me at least break that mileage mark on mine.

Hoping forever
Yeah I'm hoping that it will last a real long time too. I already have 11k and I've only had the truck for 4 months. I take care of my baby but we have our fun off road too.

how how many miles do you have on your 09 now? I’m looking at getting rid of my 03 for one I can get a pretty good deal on... just has high miles but for 8000 I really don’t wanna miss out on it

Dylon,, my 09 sport has 214,000 kms on it and it still runs like new,,, other than a few exhaust mainifold bolts breaking, its been a good truck. The truck is parked inside a heat garage at nights, this was the reason i bought the 15 sport for the girlfriend to drive. Plan on keeping both for as long as I can
