Years and years ago I used to work for a rental car company that delivered rental cars on dollies towed by Dodge Dakotas with 3.9L engines.  They routinely when 7,000-10,000 miles between oil changes.  Half the miles put on them were towing other cars.  We sold them at 75-100,000 miles.  They ran and ran and ran.  I don't remember ever having mechanical trouble with one.  

this is my first dodge vehicle, i have had ford and toyota in the past.....this dodge has big shoes to fill to keep up with my old toyota...but thats good info to know, thanks

Any new to me vehicle is sweet and even more so when it's a truck

Yep totally agree and they are great trucks-and can scoot too

Nothen worse than showen someone what you just got and proud of it when all they want to do is rain on your parade

I still wonder what the new prices are doing to the used prices-in 2003 a new Ford truck basic was around here about $18,000/16,000 now you can get a 2007 basic for $12,000/10,000 :

Man its gotta have some kind of impact :-?

here is a pic of it, not very good pic, but a pic...not only did i get a good deal...they sold it to me before they ran it through their inspection for trade ins...so i got 4 new tires, new pads and rotors all around, new battery and wipers, not extra cost!!

Congrats

Fine truck and congrats TRT!

It's a beauty fer sure.

I'll be shopping real soon.

My truck was officially totalled by Allstate.  the verbal $$ amounts they are talking sound fair, but I'll wait for the check before any next moves.

Just another reminder out there. Guys n Gals  - Please be careful out there.

Congrats man!! You picked up a nice truck.  I just got myself a truck too a couple months ago.  07 Isuzu i290 AKA Chevy Colorado.  Isuzu came with the better warranty!     It's the first automobile I've ever bought myself that I really enjoy and that is nice.
