Selling our pickup due to possible relocation overseas
Has been reliably used for two functions for the last few years.
1. Hauling anything and everything from Home Depot or Lowes to our house.
2. Hauling anything and everything from our house to the local dump
We purchased the truck up in MA (on Ebay) specifically to cut down on costs of renting a dumpster or paying for material delivery during the last few years of construction on our house.
The truck is reliable, starts up after a couple of pumps of the gas pedal and has a very new battery (last year) to make sure there is plenty of cranking power.
The rear leaf spring supports have been professionally replaced, as have the power steering hoses. We also had some electrical issues resolved after we purchased it.
The engine does not burn any oil, and oil is changed once a year since we only drive a couple of hundred miles locally each year.
The truck was recently inspected and did not require any repairs but there was a recommendation of new tires soon.
Since the inspection we have a new crack in the windshield a few inches long from a stone chip, will need to be replaced next year before inspection.
The body is not in the best of shape, at some point someone re-sprayed the roof and hood and its looking pretty bad with a light haze of surface rust coming through. Its looked like this since we bought it and does not appear to be getting worse. Since its from further up north there is probably more corrosion underneath and on the wheel arches than you would typically find in New York.
We did not buy the truck for appearances, just for functionality.
Since then we have added some dings, dents, scratches and a nasty bash in the side from a gas station barrier (see picture) but none affect the functionality of the truck.
The A/C has not worked since we have owned it, the radio is terrible with a buzzy speaker so bring your own ipod. On a positive note there is a dual cup holder that can hold fairly big drinks and a nice big arm rest.
There is no rear bumper, its not required for inspection and was absent when we purchased it.
If you are looking for a functional and reliable truck with a FULL 8 FOOT BED with hard wearing bed liner then this is the truck for you, it has saved us thousands of dollars in dumpster fees and delivery fees and paid for itself 5 time over.
If you are looking for a fixer upper to re-spray then this is not for you, its all about functionality and not looks.
EDIT: Additional note, the carfax thing seems to have an accident reported incorrectly. The truck has never left Long Island since we registered it in mid 2007 so its obviously incorrect and has not been in an accident. Its never been to Wallingford, CT.

Dodge idles Viper production again at Conner Avenue
Mon, 07 Jul 2014You've got to hand it to Dodge for having the gumption to put the original Viper into production in the first place. It was, after all, much more of an emotional decision than a practical one, and a move which saw the first production V10 engine placed in a road car - long before the advent of the Lamborghini Gallardo, Audi R8, Porsche Carrera GT or Lexus LFA, not to mention the other Ford, BMW and Volkswagen Group models that used such engines.
It's now been 22 years since the first Viper entered production and the Viper still rolls on several generations later, but we're sad to say that courageous decision has not always been met with overwhelming sales success. In fact parent Chrysler was forced to idle the Conner Avenue plant where the Viper is made back in April due to slow sales. And while production resumed again as planned on June 23, it apparently didn't do the trick.
As a result, Chrysler corporate communications chief Shawn Morgan revealed to Autoblog that the assembly line has been shut down again for another two weeks. The line was up and running for nearly two full work weeks from June 23 until the holiday weekend that started on Thursday, July 3. But instead of coming back online today as planned, it's been idled again for the weeks of July 7 and 14. That means it will be July 21, at the earliest, before the serpentine supercars start slithering down the assembly line at Conner Avenue again. Once it does, however, production is set to resume at the same pace it was before the shutdown.
Detroit 3 small cars lay an egg in latest Consumer Reports reliability study
Tue, 28 Oct 2014Consumer Reports has released its Annual Auto Reliability Survey and the results are, in a word, interesting. While we already covered the score-damaging effects of infotainment systems, there's another big angle to the data that's getting some attention - the utterly dismal scores of the Detroit Three's small car offerings.
The turbocharged Dodge Dart and Chevrolet Cruze, as well as the Ford Fiesta were their respective brands' lowest-scoring models, a stat that's made worse by the fact that the American automakers finished 25th, 21st and 23rd, respectively.
That's not acceptable for The Detroit Free Press' auto critic, Mark Phelan, who has penned a scathing critique of the D3's small car reliability scores, arguing that GM, Ford and Chrysler are "out of excuses."
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.
