2019 BigHorn crew cab 4 x 4. 5.7L Himi. Anyone own one?? If so what ya think?
Got an opportunity to pick one up with 18,460 miles on it for $26,659 out the door. Good deal?
Closest thing I’ve got experience with is a 4x4 Dacota which I was happy with. But it was a 4.7 mpi not the Himi.

Thanks for the reply Leftlane. Interesting that it’s motor trend truck of the year.

What uses will your truck do? Look at the half ton deisels my wife loves her cummings Nissan. 18mpg

I have a 14 Ram 1500, this is my 3rd with a Hemi I have 1700000 on it with no problems, same with my others, no problems Best truck out there right now. The state DOT has been buying them and all the guys like them and cant wait to trade their Fords and GMs in to get one.

I have a 13 Ram 1500. Bought it new, has been trouble free. I'll buy a new one just like it.

I have an 04’ 1500 quadcab with the Hemi. Can’t complain about the engine, 281,000 miles. The body is rusted out. Other than having to put two fuel pumps on it, it’s been very reliable.

Tits or tires they'll all get you sooner or later...

I've had good luck with Dodge rams.. And Silverado done good too...
Prefer the ram tho..
I just picked up a 2018 with 17k for $21000. It's not the fancy bighorn model and trying out the v6 which has impressed me for only owning it for a month n half..

I agree with this.

I had a 96 dodge Laramie SLT 2500 with the V-10. It was a good truck at first but within ten years was falling apart. I had replaced almost every steel component on the frame, some of them twice, brake lines, fuel tank straps and fuel filler neck, spring shackles, exhaust system, etc. The brakes were always crap. I'll never buy another Chrysler product, especially since they are now owned by Fiat.

I have an 08 Tundra with the 5.7L. It does everything the Dodge did except the towing cap. is 10,000 lbs. instead of 13.000 lbs. It has 25% more power that the Dodge did and gets about 50% better MPG. It too has rust issues but it's now older than the Dodge was and is in way netter shape (it gets used just as hard as the Dodge did).

And, Toyota has offered to replace the rusty frame for me. Nobody from Chrysler ever made such an offer. Dodge did send me a recall about the dash bursting into flames...

Be aware if it has the adjustable power air suspension system, they're known to be problematic. I had my 17 for 6 months and had a system failure. $3500 repair bill, fortunately under warrantee. Been an outstanding truck otherwise.

ive got 2 -19s now and have had several cummins and gas rams. o problems. all were working vehicles and run by people who don't care about them, just get me where I want to go with no problems.. that says a lot in my book

My father has one.Nice truck.

That rating is for advertising. Who care what any vehicles does when it's new. I care what they are like once they have 100,000 miles on them. It all depends on how long you plan to keep it.

Buddy has one we just turkey hunted in it for a week we took his it the first week it seemed solid and had a lot of bells and whistles a guy can do without. Not a Dodge fan owned 2 could not wait to get rid of them.

My father had that problem.Has to replace a fuse every so often he told me.It will get riding rougher ride wise when it happens.

I'll disagree from past experience: I've owned the dodge with cummings, the Hemi 5.7 and the Hemi 6.4. I "thought" I might have a pulling issue when went away from the diesel to the gas 5.7 but I didn't. My 20 ft enclosed trailer loaded with traps and freezers went right down the road about as good as the diesel did.

The 5.7 Hemi will outpull the capabilities of a 1500 truck no problem. It's a half ton running gear. ( I had it in a 2500 with airbags...that's aftermarket...not the stuff that comes from the factory).

Yes, the 6.4 has a little more power, but honestly I don't really need almost 400 hp.

Back to the diesel. I owned one and ran it 6 yrs...and compared costs against the gas models. I'll never own another diesel. They are FAR more money to run. Any part (even non engine related) you need for it, is double or 3 times the cost. I suppose they figure if you have enough money for the diesel, you have enough for inflated parts cost.

Diesel trucks are also the worlds worst off road vehicles. I've never shoveled, yanked and winched a truck out so much in my life. And those heavy motors will wear out front end parts a lot faster. Diesel trucks are road trucks...period.

One thing I would steer clear of with the Rams, however. I hated the 6 speed tranny. It never failed but it its real doggy in auto mode. The 8 speed is a far far better feeling tranny.

I very seldom post or reply on here but felt compelled to this time. If you even think that you might want to chain up the front end stay away from a newer 1500. It made for a long story and a longer walk. I had bought it used from a local dealer. His comment when I brought it back to have the front brake lines and liners replaced was " they are not made to put chains on the front". Who the !@#$ makes a 4x4 truck like that ! The 2500 are no problem but not the 1500. Made to look pretty going down the highway, not a work truck.

Paul .

Thanks for the replies. I just looked up the truck on nada book as if it were a 2018 ( won’t do 2019 used value, just gives new) and it’s a little more than 2K below trade in if it was a 2018. Clean Carfax and one owner so I’m going to call my bank and getter done.

Very nice.
