Same as Ray. Bought my 2009 because for the mileage it was way less money than a Ford. Only non maintenance item I've had was cracked exhaust manifold stud. And like Ray, smoothest truck I've ever driven. Had it 6 years now. I'd buy a Powerwagon in a second. I don't need the diesel yet. But I like the solid axles and the special suspension the Powerwagons get. Special control arms I think.

A friend found a Ram 1500 Mega cab. Funny thing is it was a 5.7 with 8 lugs and lighter capacity springs. Apparently the Megacab 1500 is cheap. And a bit confusing as most would assume it is a 2500 or bigger.
