It's been a great truck. Ive always been bow tie guy, and all the FLeet vehicles ive had have been chevys but ive had a lot of problems. Nothing major. THings like paint peeling and trany issues. Dodge also had some great deals in 06 when i bought it. Those 6.0l are great motors. Very powerfull and easy to upgrade. Lots of plug and play aftermarket stuff for them.

i have also towed an xj with my xj and its not that bad either.

Unbelievable!!! No pics?? Lemme fix that even tho mine is not the "ideal tow rig". I've used it once for towing so far & it got the job done very well. Pic shows it sittig on a very slight incline.

'02 Durango R/T with the mighty 5.9L.

Thanks for the ThumbsUp. You mean the XJ looks like it's in ok shape? Or the Durango?

My current tow rig (even though I don't tow my XJ with it much anymore) is a 2003 F-350 Crew Cab 7.3 4x4 DRW.
