Not that I?m a big Dodge fan boy but my dad always drove Dodge trucks. When I was looking and stumbled across the Dodge I currently own I called him because I knew the truck he was driving at the time had a lot of mileage because he was using it to commute to work for years before he retired. I asked him how many miles he had on his truck and what all he had to do to it over the years other than routine maintenance. At 260K miles the only thing he could think of was he had to have the electric cooling fan replaced once. I specially asked to make sure he hadn?t done a water pump, alternator, fuel pump, transmission.... nope.

I went back and bought the one I was looking at and no regrets so far. Bought it used. The original window sticker was in the glove box. It was a $44K truck brand new and I bought it five years old for $20K with 80K miles on it.

An added bonus for the Dodge is no matter how long I own it or how many miles I put on it I?ll never have to replace a turbo.
