Vehicle Overview
The Dodge Ram 1500 light-duty pickup truck emphasizes aerodynamic styling with a unique grille-forward design; ride comfort with a segment-exclusive coil-spring rear suspension; and storage innovation with the RamBox. Dodge also addresses the basics with more power in the 5.7-liter Hemi V-8 and an excellent interior.

New for 2010
Chrysler isn’t resting after redesigning the 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. The 2010 model receives a boost in towing that makes it much more competitive on paper with the rest of the trucks in its segment. The half-ton Ram can now pull up to 10,450 pounds. Along with the trailer-towing increase, the Ram also adds optional folding trailer-towing mirrors and an optional integrated trailer-brake controller. Other notable changes included improved iPod connectivity, plus a new tire pressure monitoring system.

Exterior
Two of the more interesting features on the 2010 Ram are RamBox and the truck’s coil-spring rear suspension. RamBox is available only on the crew cab. It features integrated, lockable storage boxes on each side of the bed that can hold up to 240 12-ounce beverage cans. These boxes basically take up the awkward space around the wheel wells, leaving a clean, rectangular cargo bed. The crew cab also features in-floor storage near the second-row seats. The multilink, coil-spring suspension is based on proven designs used by Jeep and Dodge in its SUVs. The Dodge design provides an uncompromised ride, especially when the cargo bed is empty. The sporty Dodge Ram R/T model will get new, optional 22-inch forged-aluminum wheels later in the year.

  • Dual chrome-tipped exhaust integrated into rear bumper
  • Adjustable cargo-rail tie-down system available

Interior
The Ram 1500’s interior will still appeal to traditional owners, but it also offers many amenities — including premium seating with soft-touch materials and a console-mounted shifter — that will entice cosmopolitan owners, too. The seats’ stylish, full-width, contrasting stitching comes on Sport and Laramie trims. Interior features include:

  • Rear seat heating available in crew cab
  • Available power-adjustable pedals
  • Available rearview camera
  • Available power-sliding rear window on quad cab

Under the Hood
Several minor refinements may help improve the Ram’s fuel economy. The front chin spoiler has been lengthened almost an inch to help improve aerodynamics, and the fuel system automatically stops sending gasoline to the engine when the truck decelerates. Models with the 3.7-liter V-6 receive a fuel-saver light that lets the driver know when the truck is being driven efficiently.

  • 215-horsepower, 3.7-liter V-6, iron block/aluminum cylinder heads, single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder, 235 pounds-feet of torque
  • 310-hp, 4.7-liter V-8, iron block/aluminum cylinder heads, single overhead camshaft, two valves per cylinder, 330 pounds-feet of torque
  • 380-hp, 5.7-liter Hemi V-8, iron block/aluminum cylinder heads, cam-in-block, two valves per cylinder, 404 pounds-feet of torque
  • Four-speed automatic (standard with 3.7-liter)
  • Five-speed automatic (standard with 4.7-liter, 5.7-liter)

Safety
The Ram 1500 has a number of advanced safety features, including antilock brakes and an electronic stability system, which reduces engine power if the system’s sensors detect a variance in the driver’s steering and the vehicle’s path. The Ram 1500 also offers trailer-sway control. There are also side curtain airbags on quad and crew cabs. Other safety features include:

  • Hill start assist keeps truck from rolling backward on steep hills
  • Brake assist applies maximum braking power in panic situations

  • Best of any vehicle I have ever owned.

    Got a great deal on a 2010 Dodge Ram 1500 ST 4x4 truck last summer, and now very grateful to have it. I'm very blessed with the way this truck performs, both on- and off-road. This engine purrs like a kitten! Lots of ground clearance on mine and lookin' good all the time.

  • Very reliable And durable Truck

    I have had this truck since bought new in 2010. It has been a transportation vehicle for work. It’s been a work truck for my Landscape business. And a personal vehicle for everyday use. It has been so reliable and expect it to be for a long time.

  • We were sold a lemon.

    The complete list of things wrong were: 1) Multiple plugs in sidewall of tire (should have failed inspection), 2) Exhaust Manifold Gaskets were leaking (should have failed inspection), 3) the A/C Condenser was leaking and needed replacement (and apparently had recently been refilled), 4) The Heater Core and Thermostat were bad and needed replacement, 5) the Intake Seals/ Solenoids/ Wiring Harness were all bad and needed replacement, and 6) the reason that the truck constantly was leaking fluids was because it had the wrong size Drive Shaft installed and the transmission seal was damaged (this is what had taken over a month to fix).
