I had an 04.5 Dodge with the 600 and the first thing my friend said when I drove it to his repair shop was, you bought a Dodge and he started laughing. He said they are junk. They were rebuilding the whole under side of a Durango with only 70,000 miles.

The Dodge rode terrible and needs a 8 speed auto-trans to keep up with the Ford unloaded only. I would suggest trying the Chevy or GMC, they have got to be better than the Dodge. I said on the way home from the dealer after picking up my 05 cc that my Ford was twice the truck my Dodge was and my son agreed. Good Luck
