I would say to find a 2003 or newer truck, the fuel filter is very easy to change on them,transmission fluid lasts for 70,000 miles before needing serviced(although towing a fifth wheel i would rec. sooner service intervals). one bad thing about them is they have weaker springs in the rear than older models. for 05-06 models they increased torque to 610ft lbs instead of 600.plus 2007 they are coming out with a 6.7liter cummins not sure of ratings though. The 03 and up rear axles use synthetic 75w140 gear oil,first initial service I recommend at 30k then every100-150k.If you plan on pulling a Fifth Wheel with it ..............Can you drive a stick? If not learn how to first! The auto trans that they use in the dodge trucks are P.O.S.!! They are a little better in the newer years but they still have problems with them. Not only that but you Loose torque and overall power with a automatic trans. The Manual Trans is alot Tuffer and more reliable in any Kind of vehicle Providing of course you know the proper way to drive them.Have you ever tried to slow dow a truck with a lode behind it on a steep hill with a auto trans ? G.F.L.! Go Manual bro !
