44,874 miles? Find a 4x4 pickup with those miles for under $5500.
I am the second owner of this beautiful truck. What makes her beautiful you ask? Certainly not its paint as that is peeling. Not the inside of the cab either because though it is clean it is about as plain jane as it gets. And she is missing trim rings around door handles. But, "so what I said when I bought her." She has really low miles, runs like a friggin' tank, is slightly lifted, bounces like a truck should and gives you power and 4 wheel drive to get you out (or into) the right kind of trouble. Mom and Dad? this is the vehicle you want your kid in- not too cool but cool enough for the right guy or gal and it can only fit what all of 3 teenage kids? (and that would be pretty cramped). Gets them where they need to go and home safe no matter the weather. Working man or lady?maybe you are someone that needs to just get where you are going, throw some crap in the bed and be done with it. This truck will do it. Broke college kid that needs reliable transportation. Yup, fits the bill with room in the back to switch dorm rooms and get you and your stuff to your first job miles away from home. Me? I am a firefighter who needed something cheap with 4x4 because I can't be late and I certainly can't not show up for work. I have since moved to an area where I can't afford to park an extra vehicle and I have inherited an SUV that can fit a few more people in it comfortably, but to be honest? I am going to miss this truck. Newer tires, shocks, brakes, exhaust and muffler. (approx. 10,000 miles on it all). I added the Yakima rack for canoes. I purchased the truck with the bed liner and it seems in good shape. The original radio- that was just a radio so I did end up a couple of years ago putting in a Sony stereo with IPOD dock and Aux and upgraded to Sony front speakers (wired for rear speakers but I didn't need them so I didn't bother adding. The pics should show both the good and the bad. One shows the peeling paint on the hood- this is also occurring on top of cab and just below windows and on wheel wells. There is some rusting of the undercarriage. I am the second owner, purchased the vehicle from an auction. No accidents, mileage is accurate and I purchased the AutoCheck Vehicle History report which I am willing to provide to interested buyers. The overall score is a 53. Similar vehicles score 23-46. It recently passed VA emissions and safety inspections. |

Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
2013 Dodge Dart GT
Mon, 16 Dec 2013My younger brother bought a Dodge Dart earlier this summer. It's a basic SXT, in Maximum Steel Metallic, with the 2.0-liter engine, a six-speed automatic transmission and not a whole lot else. Unfortunately, at the time, the Dart was one of the few cars in the compact class I'd never driven. I didn't know a lot about it, and therefore, didn't have a lot to say when he bought it. I think the words "based on an Alfa," popped out when I first saw it.
As it turns out, he's grown quite fond of the dark gray sedan, so it was with some degree of enthusiasm that I paid him a visit in this bright-orange Dart GT. I was excited to see what it was about the Dart that he enjoyed so much, despite my tester featuring a different engine, transmission and a lot more tech. After a week with the car, though, I must say: I don't quite see what all the fuss is about.

Dodge unveils Special Service Durango for government fleets
Fri, 18 Oct 2013Straight off its refresh, the Dodge Durango is slipping back into its dress blues and getting back to work. The 2014 Dodge Durango Special Service Vehicle boasts all the refinements and improvements that the refreshed, civilian-spec model received, most notably a 15-percent improvement in fuel economy.
Designed for police and fire departments, and as Chrysler's answer to the Ford Police Interceptor Utility and Chevrolet Tahoe PPV in the growing service SUV market, the Durango boasts a 600-mile range, thanks to the addition of an eight-speed automatic, available on both the 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 and 5.7-liter Hemi V8. Equipped with the 360-horsepower Hemi, the Durango SSV can tow up to 7,400 pounds (the V6 is limited to 6,200 pounds).
Police and fire department Durangos get a few special features over the civilian models. The electric systems are ruggedized, with a heavy duty battery and a 220-amp alternator in place, while the engine's water pump and oil cooler are both stronger. The brakes are tougher, and a load-leveling suspension has been fitted, too.
