The only thing on this truck that scares me is the repair bill when its out of warranty. lol.

To be honest, its straight line crazy fast, seat of your pants horsepower. It sucks other wise, its falling apart with 35,000 miles on it, belt squeaks constantly, power steering hoses leak and need replaced after few thousand miles, chews through gas even when u drive it like a baby. I had a ford Lightning before it-- it was more fun to drive because it handled better. It was a sin they didn't offer the svt in a manual.

In theory, the ram rules, but they dropped the ball on the fit and finish, to bad it was so damn fun to drive. Its easier to walk away than i expected, but i think thats because with 29k miles on it, the motor took a shit-- threw a valve, busted the spring, scored the piston, fooked the head. I don't even wanna imagine what the repair would cost...

3rd gear in that truck was the greatest thing that ever happened... from 30mph to 90 in what felt like the flick of a switch.

Fun Truck-- just lacks a little finish work and had a few reliability issues.

best looking pick up out there tho... it turned a lot of heads. and chewed up and spit out a lot of WRX's and EVO's.
