About this Current Vehicle:
My 05 Dakota. Got it in March '07 completely stock except for the tonneau which I plan to change out for a hard cover in the future. So far I'm very happy with it, the only complaint is that the factory front shocks suck horribly but other than that it drives great! I'll be installing Bilstein shocks as soon as I can afford them (hopefully they'll be out by then). Please comment/rate my truck if you like it!

Update
Brought the truck in to the dealer this morning to have a grinding noise in the front suspension and a brake vibration issue looked at. My front rotors are warped (which Chrysler doesn't cover after 12,000 miles) and my front passenger shock is blown... again. Just had both shocks replaced under warranty about 2,000 miles ago, dealer has a shock on backorder, apparently they can't keep these shocks on the shelves nationwide (recall anyone?). Bilstein shocks just went to the top of my list...
