I had a 02 Dodge 1500 quad cab and let me tell you that truck was the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen. That was the first dodge I ever bought and I would never buy another. When I reached 60,000 miles everything under the sun went wrong with it. Front end, transmission, power options all went in about a 4 month period. I took it back to the dealership each time and had to fight with them each time to get them to fix on the bumper to bumper warranty, which they of course did not want to do. I have always owned Fords and had pretty good luck with them. I now own an 04 Ford F250 and haven't had a single problem with it. I also own an 04 and an 05 chevy vans and they have been great. I going to buy chevys from now on just because so far I had good luck and the dealership I bought them from has been very good to me. I had one call back on the 04 van and my dealership called me to ask me to bring it in.
