"Great truck, if you actually use it"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing has gone wrong with my truck, at all.

General comments?

My truck is powerful, fun to drive and has given me no problems.

My only real gripe is the gas mileage. I get roughly 13MPG in-town. I know, I know, you're probably saying "It's a V-8, what do you expect?" and I agree. I'm just sick of dumping $200 a month in gas for trips around town, when I'm hauling something in the bed less than 1% of the time.

Time to get a compact car.

Lol, my jetta goes 2 weeks on 1 tank of filled with $26 worth of gas.

But when you need the v8, you need a v8 I guess.

Why people who don't haul large loads or pull a trailer buy a gas-guzzling V-8 is beyond me. My 2001 4-cylinder Dakota got 22mpg average and had plenty of power to haul my camping gear and merge onto freeways easily. I had a V-8 Mustang at the same time as the Dakota, and the Dakota was just as much fun to drive. I was REALLY teed off at Dodge for dropping the fuel efficient 4 and the regular cab. I bought a Ranger this time around for that reason.

You must have one crappy mustang if it has the same fun factor as a dodge dakota.
