Now I think (I hope) everyone will acknowledge that back in the mid-90's, Dodge had major powertrain issues for quite a few years.

I'm thinking that they fixed that towards the end of the 90's / early 2000's, and that their trucks are not too bad going into the mid 2000's.

Reason for asking: I'll likely be looking for something to replace my 2001 F150. I was eyeballing a few 2004-2006 Ram's on Craigslist....but while I like the styling of the Rams the most of the big three domestic truck lines, I am a little worried about their reliability, mostly due to all the issues they previously had.

My second choice will probably be a 2004 - 2006 F150, as both of the F150's that I've had have been solid as rocks, and I've got a comfort level there. I haven't taken Chevy off of the list completely, as I know their powertrains are also pretty bulletproof - I'm just not wild about the styling.

Thanks!
