Thanks good to know....... Me likes the new dodges....... but want to wait a bit to see how many bugs and what everyone thinks......I have an 05 that had some issues and pretty much spent most of it's first year at the dealer..... and that was before the style change.....but I like the truck......I would like a new one again without the problems though.

I've got 3800 kms on my new 2010 now. I never had an issue with my '07.

Apart from a few things like styling, the truck is "similar" to the old ones. Still proven drivetrain and engine. That 400+ ft/lbs is sure nice, I've been driving like an old lady since just after I broke it in, can't imagine that tires are going to last very long with that torque if you are hard on the "go" pedal. Kicking rice rocket ass at the stop lights in your bone stock pick up is fun though. :)

Ride is very nice, wayyyy nicer than my '07. Cab style is different, controls are about the same as the '07-09's in terms of positioning, very centralized, good locations. Computer feature is nice. Visibility is about the same as the '07. Storage is better, lots of nice little features. I love the bench front - can't stand the hard mounted console style - too much wasted space - in the bench front there is a ton of storage in the fold down console and under the console in the actual seat itself.

The 115 AC outlet is nice - no more inverter unles I'm in someone else's truck.... :)

I think I'm going to do a levelling kit, other than that, they are nice trucks.

Mod....... I like the dodges better we bought a new ford in 08 just because I didn't want to relive the pain of the big breakdown with a new truck........ seems the ford has a few things that need some attention as well..... biggest thing was the trailer break going out...... and I pull a heavy 33 ft toybox.....not fun at all and it happens all the time..... bee to 3 different dealers and they all do the same thing... ( factory reset) no one believes the controler is pooched....... I have two other trailers that it happens to as well...... the old dodge has had the same controler that I installed since new and never gave me a minute trouble..... I'm leary of the built in's......... one guy at ford says if you order the truck without one you get the plug n play port under the dash..and it's still prewired for the controler option... but if ordered with one you get no port and your sol if it goes out while towing.

The break contollers on the new dodges only run electric brakes, they will not run electric over hydraulic/vacum

sooo i saw a megacab LONG BOX today.....this is new this year....and much needed.

anyone know the price difference on this bad boy?

Cost of about $10,000+ at a shop to cut your frame. Not factory. Dodge is to stupid to make a truck people have been asking for :rolleyes:

Weird, maybe a crew cab not mega? Dunno can't see budget building a truck like that. But I know 100% it ain't factory.

heres a pic summitric, lots of room for an adult, just loose the space behind the seat, i need a long box aswell, too many things to pull and haul for a shortbox, once the fuel tank is in the box there is nothing left in a sb.
