spotshooter: I bought myself a new Dodge Cummins diesel 4x4 extended cab 5 speed standard transmission truck back in 1996 - it has worked virtually flawlessly ever since.
NOT ONE mechanical problem of any kind!
I would buy another in a minute.
SUPER dependable, gets great mileage 22 - 23 MPG and has torque to spare.
I have 140,000 miles on it and my Elk Hunting partner has a 1994 Dodge Cummins diesel that has 360,000 miles and never once had a wrench to his engine!
Any vehicle can have a glitch or a "broken part" - I am NOT saying Dodge trucks are flawless but I have owned MANY other trucks since my first back in 1968 and the Dodge proves up wonderfully to me.
Blanket condemnations seldom have merit - I have found.
Best of luck to you with your next truck.
Hold into the wind
