I hear that alot about Dodge's, but knock on wood... I can count on one hand the number of major issues I've had with my truck. I think I just lucked out... The thing's seen both the Atlantic and Pacific, seen Mexico from Arizona and California, and been up to the Dakotas more than once, and even been driven in New York City (ya gotta say it like they do in those Pace Picante commercials!).

If you ever get a chance to try to drive a full-size pick-em-up truck in New York City, pass on the chance. I did take the opportunity to cut off a cab so I felt like a native!

I wanted a Corvette my whole life, but I never dreamed of all the wonderful people I would meet because of it!
