I believe that if the truck was a diesel it would be a hell of a lot more appealing. I just dont trust those gas motors in the dodge pickups.

The gas engines aren't bad aside from being underpowered and getting poor gas mileage. From a reliability aspect, they're fine. It's the transmission Dodge uses especially in the 1500 series. I wouldn't personally do it but not a terrible trade though.

Find out if / when the tranny was rebuilt...if it has not i'd pass on the deal. With 100k its only a matter of time before the tranny goes.

Diesel trucks do...

I wouldn't trade unless it was a diesel which it's not. It's a nice truck but meh.. Maybe a new style I would consider the trade but not that one.

I just don't see how someone goes from a ***** to the wall, 0 to 60 in less than 6, styled to impress muscle car to a big dumb gun rack toting truck, unless it was work related or something, but then I'd just get another job.

I mean it's a "truck" for chirssakes. I wouldn't mind owning one, don't get me wrong, but to give up sexual speed for one? Never...
