I am selling my truck because I no longer need it, as I moved up North a year ago and bought a four-wheel drive. I've owned this Dodge nearly three years. It has been very reliable for me, and I have taken several trips from Texas to Michigan with no problems. I pulled a trailer full of household items two of these times. The oil has been changed every 5,000 miles using Mobil 1 synthetic. New front brake pads and rotors in 2009. New spark plugs and wires installed March 2010. It had a new starter, freeze plugs, and a water pump as of June 2010. I rotted out the radiator at this time. The air conditioner blows cold; it has an AM/FM CD player, tilt steering, cruise control, ABS brakes, and manual seats and windows. There is a transmission issue: for the past year and a half I've had to help it shift into third gear (at about 45 miles an hour, I let off the accelerator, shift into Neutral for about a second, and then put it back in Drive and it shifts into third gear). Overdrive works great. The transmission oil and filter were changed in July 2010, and I was told by a mechanic that it is probably a shift solenoid. I am not a mechanic, so I don't know for sure what the problem is, however, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it back to Texas if I needed to. There is a dent in the passenger side panel in front of the back tire. It has been like this since I bought it. There is a crack in the windshield on the passenger side (it has been there since I've owned it). I sealed it, and it has not gotten worse. Driver's seat has a cigarette burn, and the carpets could use a shampoo. Headliner and upholstery in pretty good condition for its age. The dash has quite a few cracks in it, as Dodge trucks are prone to have. It could easily be covered, but it never bothered me enough so I didn't buy one. Three of the tires have about 40% tread left, and one front tire needs to be replaced.
