1. Great looking truck! Really like the way the front end looks and the duel pipes grooved into the back bumper! I really think Dodge makes one of the better looking trucks but that's my opinion.
2. Very comfortable ride
3. Gets up and goes pretty good
4. Nice options in it and lots of room in the cab for the family.
5. Gave me the best deal and the most bang for my buck compared to the other competitors.
6. Its my first new truck!
Dislikes
1.Rims look nice but not sure about them being plastic, don't know how well they will hold up in time, especially in upstate NY with the sand and salt.
2.Having a hunting camp at the end of a pretty rough washed out road, even though its a 4x4, its not an off road vehicle with no skid plates and the running boards sit a little low. May have to put a small lift in it and some skid plates.
3. Gas mileage isnt the greatest but expected that.
4. Some of the interior trim is a little cheap not sure how well it will hold up in time?

Welcome to the site. I sold my chrome clad (plastic ABS) wheels after one winter. THe salt damaged them and I bought chrome plated wheels for the last three winters without a problem. Just put a coat of wax on either set to preserve them throughout the winters,
