Seen on TV that Dodge is offering $2.99 gas for three years. They only allow 12,000 miles a year though. I wonder if any rebates will also be offered.

good luck trying them all out.

tell us what happens after.

it is a buyers market for large vehicles so bargain, bargain, bargain.

don't be afraid to walk away and go back later.

I can't think of anybody I know that HASN'T had difficulties with their dog..the warranty isn't worth squat b/c you'll bring it in for a problem that'll be warrantied then they'll ding you for hundreds that isn't covered (you won't have a chioce unless you want to void the warranty)

well.... i went out today and test drove a chevy: liked it alot actually but it was really expensive... then tested out the dodge: it was ok, really uncomfy seating and poor interior quality... and then went to ford. well i am buying a ford. the are giving me a crew cab f150 for 2000 less than the ext cab dodge, and the f150 is an amazing truck! super comfy interior and the 5.4L engine is amazing.... lots low end grunt..... im glad i listened to yawl and didnt just go out and buy a dodge without thinking!

wouldnt give you 29 cents for a dodge.bad trannys an rear ends,they always carried the name,put a dodge in your garage.that is correct.ford built tough,chevy like a rock,these are all to true.

Here Dodge has been running an ad about guaranteeing $2.99 a gallon gas or diesel I forget for how many years, and like 12,000miles per year. Yeah they got a lifetime warranty, but they still look like a pig now. They should have kept the original new style look. I like the way the new Fords look. Gms look like cars not trucks.
Gosh I thought I saw an ad for a new F150 for 14K. I'm sure Ford would meet or beat that dodge price.
