The trans options got better? The poorly functioning overdrive on the auto and undersized NV3500 were two of he worst things Dodge did to handicap themselves with trucks. They had the look at that time for sure and a lot of folks jumped over only to be greeted with failure.

After my father's '94 and my '99 my plan was to never buy another new Dodge truck ever again.

A friend has a a Hemi R/T in the newest body style and it might make me change my mind. Of course, he got this after his 6.7L Cummins was traded out through the Lemon Laws.
