I went to a Dodge with Hemi and loved it, but found it liked the gas pump (because of my driving habits) only to have the rear end lock up with 80K miles. After fighting Dodge over warranty issues and $8k in repair bills, which they finally covered, I traded it on the Ford F-150 Ecoboost. I only wish I read the fine print on fuel mileage. Again, with my driving habits, I average 16mpg all the time, but cover mostly highway miles. Nice truck, rides great, but I was sure dreamin of 20mpg. Not sure what the next one will be. I may go with a Ford with V-8.

I have the F-150 with the 5.0 V8 and I wouldn't recommend it. Weak engine and drinks gas, 13.8 mpg average.
