my friend has a 2002 4.7 2wd 5 speed. i can tell you if you want pick up and go, thats the truck, its fast. put it this way, we beat a mustang gt, (newer one) not by much. his truch has 3.92 posi rear. i know alot dont have that. must have 3.55. they are real comfort to ride in (before we lowered 55 inches). i would say its a good truck. but be warned, i heard alot about dodges trannys going. i knw a few it happened to. i heard they are coming out in 2005 with a 6 speed manual trans. with a high out put engine that is 250 horse power. i also heard somewhere something about a hemi in them as well. im not sure about the hemi though, check it out. well good luck man.
