    Nice truck. I have a 08 2500 cummins that gets 24mpg vs the 11mpg I get with my tacoma lol.

    Dodge won't cause you any real problems till about 115k when ball joints and tie rods start going out.

    When I was out a 2 months ago buying the wife a new Dodge Journey I was looking at the new Dodges. They made me a heck off an offer to trade my Tacoma in on a brand new Ram 1/2 Ton Hemi quad cab. It was freaking nice. I even went as far as test driving it. After thinking about it, I didn't want to go from a 36 month loan to a 72 month loan. In the end the Tacoma is better for me right now.

    A guy I work with has pretty much an identical truck to the one I test drove. We went to lunch together the other day, and I looked over at his fuel economy average it was 2 mpg higher than my Tacoma.....

    My 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad was a great truck, went over 200k miles, no major problems(unless you count the rear bed arches rotting off) till I let it sit for a year and went to get it out of the weeds and it had no oil pressure. I had to drop the pan, clean the gunk out, buy a new pick up tube and oil pan gasket, and flush out everything. It was fine after that(I think, I traded it in a few months later) It was still slow to pick up oil pressure on start.

    Enjoy your new truck.
