Anybody have any experience with the 09+ Hemi ram?

You are not the norm or had a tuner set for mileage. I want niether. I want full factory warranty and cant justify doing it after the warranty period.

Manual transmission, smarty tuner and turbo-back exhaust. Neither will void your warranty.

So buy a brand new gas truck... Drive them all and pick what you like sir! If I was in your shoes I would definitely check out an '09 Tundra as well.

See post #1 dude I already did that and am looking for reliability and real world mileage sinerios of this truck I liked best.

That's because the chevy's run IFS instead of a solid axle. Great if you never leave the road. The dude who just bought my old truck did it because he was on his third front-end in his 06 chevy.

O rly? What the fuck is he doing with it? I regularly service quite a few Dmax 2500HDs with IFS with 200kish miles and none have ever had any "front end" issues besides wheel bearings (they all go to shit after 150k) I prefer a solid front myself, but for 95% of these trucks the IFS works just fine. YES it is a weaker setup than a solid front. Surprisingly even the factory CVs seem to hold up well...

It could get 45MPG and 1000 hp, but in the end I would need a 3/4t or better to get one and hence it would ride like absolute shit in the process. As much as I like a deisel option, this will not be used for towing enough to justify the leap in price for 1.HD variant or 2.the pricy deisel option just to have it ride like a go cart with no suspension.

Works in the oil fields in Canada. Tows a bunch of equipment back and forth to the drill platforms. Beyond that, I couldn't tell you. I could give you his email address if you want to ask though

That's why I buy used I couldn't swallow the price of a new diesel either... then again, I think the g8 will be the only new car I'll ever own.

Naw its believable. He just must use the hell out of it in 4x4? Most people don't. My old 1/2 ton has the factory IFS front diff at 277k It has and does get used regularly with oversize tires. Rear end is another story...

I've talked to a lot of people who share the same opinion. Used beat to shit diesel pickups are still holding their value for this reason.

TRDon is pickier than a woman on the rag.

It's used, I wouldn't call it beat to shit, but I'm probably a bit biased

Meh, I looked at excursions, but fuck that. It's great right up until you have something disgusting you need to transport. Not having a bed to throw shit in that you can just spray down==fail.

Nice truck. I'm sure it wasn't free but better than spending 45k on a fucking hauler.
