My current work truck is a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. It's the first Dodge I've driven with any regularity. Impressions are that it's more stylish than functional. I'm not sure how solid it will be as the miles accumulate. At 5000 miles, it feels more delicate than the 100K 2003 Ford F150 that the Dodge replaced. That Ford was, and is, something special.
