One of the biggest drawbacks to a Dodge/Ram/Chrysler, etc. is the price of parts. The only place you can get parts for a newer model is from a dealership. The insurance companies are aware of this and the premiums reflect as much. I do think that the full sized Ram quad cab is the best looking truck on the market right now.

Parts I am talking about body stuff, headlights, etc. An insurance company doesn't care about an alternator.

Lots of good information in this thread.
If you are going to be spending the majority of your time with the truck towing heavy loads and highway cruising, get the Cummins. Of course you have to put up with the stink and noise of the diesel, but for a guy that inhales the smell of hog shit and listens to their squeals on a daily basis, that should be no big deal. But if you want the best all around truck, with plenty of power and good mileage, get the Hemi. With the MDS system, the Hemi will get over 20 mpg even in a 2500. |

I don't know it from personal experience either. Best thing to do, which a person should always do prior to purchasing a vehicle, is to call and get quotes across the board.

First off that would apply to any new truck if it were true. Insurance doesn't give two shits factory or not unless the customer throws a fit about it. Insurance wants the least amount possible out of their pocket.

Hemi -- I have nothing to tow and the superior fuel economy isn't worth he driveability trade-off to me.
