2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 HD review from North America
"This truck is garbage, I have had trash cans that have lasted longer"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Truck needed new towing mirrors when new.
Transmission was repaired at 39,000 miles.
New transmission at 45,000 miles.
Transmission cooler clogged at 45,000 miles.
New radiator at 45,000 miles.
Emission problem at52,000 miles.
Emission problem at 57,000 miles.
Engine needed new heads at 60,000 miles.

General comments?
What part of this truck does Dodge consider heavy duty?
The dome light works good.
The truck does tow very well.
However every time I tow something the truck has to go in the shop for a $1000.00 repair.
Dodge should lower the cost of this truck to $15,000.00 and call it the new Dodge Throw Away.
At 50,000 miles just throw it away.
That's OK if you make it to 50,000 miles.
