Has anyone driven one? I'm vaguely considering one but it's a bit of a trek (couple of hundred miles at least) to any garage that will have one for a test drive.

What can you tell me about it?! Sure Evo tested one a while ago but can't find my copy of the mag and can't find the review on t'internet.

lovely trucks!!
heres a pic of me and my old beast.....before that i also had a manual blabk 3 door one!
the manual is more fun to throw about and feels quicker cos of no torque management but the 4 door is still a blast!
mpg isnt as bad as you would think ...mid to late teens no probs....and is offset but low service costs and minimal depreciation from where there at at the minute!
performance exhaust is a must!
yeah i have the evo your refering to....the 4door auto one beat the clio trophys time round the track and beat the porsche turbo jeep 0-100-0!

Can you get accessories and MOPAR parts imported? I've got a 57 plate 5.7 quad cab and have a big list of stuff that I need prices for.

Thanks for all the replies guys, sorry I wasn't being rude, just aint been on t'internet over the weekend.

Is the SRT rear drive only? I live out in the sticks where we get serious amounts of snow in winter and I was thinking of replacing my old landie with a truck which could be my practical snow car as well as a bit of fun for the summer months when I'm not using my boring merc commuter.

If the srt's rear drive only I guess a v8 4x4 would be next on the list. Again, nowhere round here that would have one for test drive.

Mid-high teens mpg would be fine - I used to have a modified Jeep XJ as a winter car and it only managed 9-12mpg most of the time but with such a low annual mileage it didn't bother me.

iain

My 2007 model has 340bhp/370ft lb plus the economy MDS system that cuts 4 cylinders when cruising, 5 speed auto and it beats most cars off the lights, fuel guzzling is about 17-18mpg(UK) if driven lightly.

Bed is 6.25ft long, not sure on width but the whole truck is wider than a transit

Some US imports have the 8ft bed.
