I have had nothing but Dodge trucks. My worst problem was one made in Mexico which appeared to not have had primer applied inside body panels, no mechanical difficulties. My Current truck is a 1999 D1500. It has a 5.9liter V-8 and heavy duty automatic. No major mechanical problems, one starter at about 95k and a water pump at about 100k. I take very good care of my vehicles and have had zero problems getting parts from Chrysler dealers over 40 years of driving.

Key to good service from trucks of any make is maintenance. If it doesn't look to have had good mechanical maintenance walk away. Any truck that has been used for hauling will have scratches in the bed. Soiled seats could mean unrully, poorly disciplned kids that were allowed to eat and drink in the car. Do your home work and ask for maintenance records. Again if you can't get them walk away and find one you can verify maintenance.

We bought my son a 1991 Ford F-100 with 97k miles in 1997. Meticulous maintenance records and no mechanical problems until it was T Boned and totaled in 2001. Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance!!!
