2011 dodge ram reviews needed

9 MPG REALLY? You have got a major problem there or someone is stealing fuel from you.
I have been driving my sons truck (2004 q/cab HEMI) for two weeks. I have averaged 15 MPG in town. This truck has 153k on it & no sqeaks & rattles.
my rich broter in law, is the type that drives imports over domestic. He floored us by buying a new Lincoln pick-up in 2009, he almost bought a Dodge.
He did trade the Lincoln in on a 2010 4X4 Hemi Ram.
He really likes the truck & build quality,, he says its twice the truck the Lincoln was.
It will get 20MPG on the hiway, he travels quite alot.
My sons friend just received a ford f150 with ecoboost for a work truck. It only has a few miles on it. So far, he is averaging 14.5 MPG.

I'm with you. If I was getting 9 mpg that truck would be back at the dealership so fast. I'd say I'm getting at least 15 in the city and I haven't put any highway miles on yet. Dodge has really stepped up the interior comforts at least from what I remember compared to the older ones and you can get AWD without going to the high end package (not an option with Ford). The one thing it could use is a 6 speed transmission which would vastly improve the highway mileage in my opinion. To OP definitely check out Car Cost Canada (an online service you have to pay for) as the dealer cost is way way less than sticker price. I haven't met a car dealer yet who isn't hungry so definitely shop around.
As to shopping in the states I have a friend that does this with ALL his major purchases and has saved bundles of money. With a little research and patience this is a good alternative especially with the looney as high as it is.
Good luck!!
