Projected higher maintenance costs with the Hemi engine
Advice to buyer:
Buy an '04 closeout and get the Hemi
Detailed review:
This is a dream truck! The ride and handling with the hydroformed steel frame is superior to the 1995 Longbed I previously owned. Smooth ride, very quiet cab. The Hemi engine has unbelievable pickup and performance. Even the larger 5.9 Liter engine my old truck had is no match for the Hemi. Get an '04 closeout if at all possible - The discounts are there.
The cab is very roomy and comfortable. It is LOTS of fun to drive.
