Last September we bought a 2010 Dodge Ram. Got a pretty good deal as we bought
it from the same place we bought our last 2 trucks.Its fun, roomy, loads of
power with the hemi 5.7l v8. Towed the 240D up to Dimitri's place no problem
and managed IIRC 15mpg while doing it.

I've gotten it up to 20mpg if I keep it to 65-70mph on the highway. I don't
generally pay attention that much. Last trip to Maine we'd have been down
because the bed was full of kayaks.
