So I have been driving an 06 rclb ram at work
My work truck is an 06 v6 rclb ram and even though I am a diehard chevy fan I must say dodge got a few thigns right. The truck drives better and rides bettere than my truck does and its brakes are light years ahead of the current chevys brakes. Going from a 500+ hp 418 to a v6 leaves something lacking in the passing power department but it does alright. I particularly like the switch gear and the steering feel of the truck. The room behind the seat is awesome there is plenty of room to put all my junk and has a nice fat hook to put my hard hat on the back storage is well thought out. If it had a hemi and pw/locks it would be alot nicer. Just thought I would say that the dodge trucks are alot nicer than I thought since I have been spending alot of quality time behind the wheel of one lately.

yeah one of my buddies just got a '06, ECSB 5.7 optioned real nice, and its a good truck. It sits way higher than my truck does, that's my biggest gripe on GMs is how even 4x4s sit low as ****.

Slow, how has the reliability of that truck been? I have always liked MOPAR designs, but their reliability, at least in the past, was markedly lower than other brands.

I have been a long time Dodge Fan ( I have also owned other makes ) and decided to give Dodge one more try... The 03 Ram Sport I have has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned despite countless 1/4 slips and not being babied at all.... Brakes are LIGHTYEARS ahead of my 99 and most all other vehicles I have ever owned.. I now have over 50,000 on the truck with no trips to the dealer with the execption of a rotor TSB. I am quite happy with this purchase and Dodge keeps a customer.... If this one had been junk my next purchase would have been Chevy..

those trucks do handle a lot better than GM trucks. I had one as a rental and even it handled better than my truck its just too bad it couldnt get out of its own way
