I bought a new 2008 ram 1500 4x4.. other then stupid things I have done to it, it hasnt let me down once so far.Just changed the orignal disc brakes on her at 130 thousand kms. Paid $200 for new rotars and high quality pads. Get her oil sprayed every fall..Im willing to bet it lasts as long as any Chev Ford or Toyota. I suppose my point is, they will last as long as the owner looks after it. Now when it comes to changing the spark plugs in that Hemi , im not looking forward to that bill. 2 plugs per cylinder A friend had his done at the stealership....$800.00 bucks...Yikes..
