Towing with the 2005 RAM D3500 DRW CTD HO and Getrag 6 speed manual with a 4.10.
Very much so!
No a few minor fixes under warranty...I do my own oil changes.
This Dodge has cost virtually nothing to maintain.
Largest expense: 7 tires will run anywhere from $1268.00 to $1889.00 depending.
Former truck was a 1992 F250 Lariat 460 CE towing package with the E4OD trans purchased brand new (Trans replaced 3 times over 118,000 miles).
Had this Ford about 3 years before towing with it.
Bought the Dodge RAM July 7th 2005 in Utah $47,495 on the factory sticker.
2012 Heartland Greystone 32RE GVWR is 13,461 loaded
Diesel (I will probably switch to a GMC with the Allison in the future)

2. Are maintenance cost as high as you were lead to believe?
