I'm always hearing about how they rave over the options that come with the truck. Most of the guys I know that has the Dodge go for power such as the diesel engine. They are really happy with it. The V10 or the V8 360 motor provides good power as well and shouldn't be excluded. Its more of a budget thing when it comes down to options. There may be some really good deals still going on thru the dealerships that are still surviving. I drive a F250 Powerstroke and love it.

Hi River hunter, I have a 2006 Dodge 2500 Quadcab shortbed with the 5.7 L HEMI and an automatic transmission. I really like this truck, My last truck was a 1998 1/2 Dodge Quadcab shortbed 2500 with 24- valve Cummings engine. The reason that I don't have the 98 Dodge any longer is it was having some very serious transmission problems and I didn't want to spend any more money on it. I traded it in on the one I have now with the HEMI and I am very pleased with my choice.
The mileage I get is around 13-14 mpg around town, and around 18-20 mpg on the Highway. That depends on the driving. The Hemi has all the power you are going to need. I go up into the Mountains to get to some lakes here in Northern Utah and there are some that are steep, I have no problems with this truck towing my boat or anyother for that matter. I hope this helps.

What boat are you towing and how heavy is it?
