General Information
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This listing is for the truck mentioned in the title. I traded my parents for this truck about a year ago because it was safer than my last vehicle, but I can no longer pay for the gas needed to use it. So, if you've been wanting a large truck with a giant engine, comfortable interior, nice sound system, and 4x4 / towing capabilities you're in luck. This was my parent's farm work truck before, so I'll mention that keeping the body in perfect condition was never their first priority. I'll post the rest of the information about the truck below.

Condition
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Functionally, the truck doesn't have any major issues that I've noticed. It'll need new rear brakes put in pretty soon, but I already purchased replacements and they'll come with the truck. You can either put them in yourself or have mechanic do it, but at least you won't have to buy them. The AC system will probably need to be recharged at some point too since it works fine so long as you're moving, but if you stop it will get warm. The only other weird quirk is that occasionally the oil gauge will disconnect and then reconnect a few seconds later. I checked the oil level the last time this happened and it was fine, so I don't really know what's going on there. Otherwise the truck is perfect mechanically. The last major repair done to it was last January when the serpentine belt tensioner broke and had to be replaced. Since then, there have been no check engine lights, only a temporary check gauges light when that oil gauge disconnects.
Body wise, it's completely structurally sound. There are some small dents or scratches on the passenger rear door, quarter panel, tailgate, driver side quarter panel, and a very tiny one on the driver side door. One much larger scratch runs along the passenger quarter panel and ends slightly into the passenger rear door. Also, the end of the tailpipe is somewhat crushed in from another vehicle, but it hasn't affected how the truck runs. Like I said, this was a farm truck before.
The interior is in fantastic condition with the only damage being one burn and one rip in the driver seat from the second to last owners. The sound system can make the plastics buzz with some high frequencies, but otherwise sounds amazing. Really, it's just a quiet and comfortable interior.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Final Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Overall I really like this truck and would love to keep it, but I can't justify the 13mpg it gets in town, which is primarily where I use it. Plus the 5.9L engine is overkill for almost anything I do, though towing with it the few times I have has been amazing. Thanks for looking!

Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.
2015 Dodge Charger darts into NY traffic
Thu, 17 Apr 2014Meet the refreshed 2015 Dodge Charger; notice anything different? You would have to be pretty farsighted to miss the sedan's new Dart-like nose, and it's likely going to be quite polarizing to the car's fans. Gone are the previous furrowed, aggressive headlights in favor of a wider, friendlier look.
While the more rounded headlights and narrower grille are going to be the first thing most people notice, Dodge claims its designers have made changes to nearly every panel on the Charger. The hood dips down deeper at the front, and the doors show off a more angled version of the car's shoulder blister. LED running lights and taillights are standard on all models, and SXT and RT trims get LED foglights. Even though the front might not be as intimidating, Dodge has hung onto the sedan's muscular stance with angular contours making up the rest of the redesign.
Under the hood is the same engine range you've come to know over recent years. Both the 5.7-liter V8 and the 3.6-liter V6 return for 2015, with the Hemi making 370 horsepower and 395 pound-feet of torque, and the standard Pentestar outputting 292 hp and 260 lb-ft. All models are now equipped with Chrysler's TorqueFlight eight-speed automatic as standard. Fuel economy for V8 Chargers is predicted at 16 miles per gallon city and 25 mpg highway, compared to 15 mpg / 25 mpg last year with a five-speed automatic. All models also come with electric power steering, and the axles are cast from aluminum to save weight.
Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
