Why this car stands out
This truck is ideal for contractors, ranchers, or anyone who needs a no-nonsense, powerful, and highly capable heavy-duty truck for serious towing and hauling without the frills of higher trims.
Strengths
Powerful 6.4L HEMI V8 engine provides ample horsepower and torque for demanding tasks.
Exceptional towing and payload capabilities, making it a true workhorse.
Durable and functional interior designed for work, yet offers surprising comfort for a heavy-duty truck.
Standard technology like Adaptive Cruise Control enhances long-haul driving.
Tradeoffs
Fuel economy is relatively low, as is typical for a heavy-duty gas truck.
The ride can be stiff or 'floaty' when the truck is unladen, impacting daily driving comfort.
Some owners have reported reliability concerns or issues with specific components.
Tradesman trim lacks some of the more luxurious features found on higher trims.
What you might regret
Those prioritizing fuel efficiency, a plush ride for daily commuting, or advanced luxury features will likely find this work-oriented truck to be overkill or too spartan.
