all models, even the six, get horrible gas mileage. probably 80%+ as much as a half-ton.
reliability is the same as all dodge trucks - don't get one that doesn't have plenty of powertrain warranty and expect to replace everything in the front end once in awhile.
man does that 390 haul though.

I have a 2000 Daktoa quad quab. It is perfect for me. Lots of room for a smaller truck (with the quad cab. Would never buy it without.) I can haul my 16 foot camper trailer without to much difficulty. No real problems with it. I am doing the breaks next weekend (165,000km). Gas milage isn't the greatest. I can get 700 km on a tank of gas (85L). If I am pulling my trailer, that goes down by half.
I could have purchased a full size but I figured this would work good for me, and it has. Not to big, I am not pulling or hauling big loads and enough room to take 4 people comfortably 6 people cramped.
Oh it is a V6 (4.7L)
