Power House — This truck has got to be the best and most powerful truck i have ever owned. Everyone says they wish they could get one, because they see what kind of power it pushes out. An the dodge line up has awesome turning radius.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

1997 Dodge Cummins — Truck has awesome performance, it will pull a mountain. It is not however built for speed. Dodge Builds a decent truck and that coupled with the Cummins makes it a great truck. There are some things in the interior that I prefer the newer truck over mine but overall the interior is nice. The exterior I think looks great, it has a "big rig" look that I love. It is incredibly fun to drive, there's nothing like mashing down on the pedal and being pressed back into the seat as you hear the turbo whine!

Dodge Ram 3500 Dually — Great truck. Has a V10 in it which has awesome power and dependability. The inside of the truck is very comfy and has great features. The truck is a dually so it can haul big loads if needed to or just tool around town for fun an pleasure. Great truck overall.
