Runs great, no issues

Been very happy with this vehicle, but it was time to get a 7 seater for the family. This is a great truck and you won't be disappointed.

Sexiest truck I've owned.

Not friendly on the gas bill, but I knew that going in. That's not why I bought it, I bought it to haul my horses. I also live in the middle of nowhere, where it gets to -40C with snow banks 6' high some days and my truck has never given me the slightest problem. Spring time is also flooded with mud and in 2 wheel drive we can get through most of it. She has heart and if you take care of her she'll see you safely home. It's fun to drive and you can easily do a 17 hour road trip and be comfortable the whole way. I like this year because I've noticed the newer 1500's have a cheaper plastic in them. I use to detail at a dodge dealership and when you clean 100's of different makes and models and years you get to know the ones that are easier to clean and I picked my truck knowing the fabric and vinyl was an easier to clean model. The newer ones have that cheaper plastic that seems to hold stains.

Love this vehicle!

Just purchased this truck......stylish, powerful motor, exactly what I wanted in a 4X4. I am a tall guy and the fit is comfortable all the way around.

mommab

Just what my son was looking for as far as style and what mom was looking for as far as safety. This dealership was upfront , honest, very respectful and negotiable.

Love the hemi

Love the hemi power. The blue color is awesome wasn't sure I would like the camper shell but its working out great. Not sure I like the four wheel drive knob will have to wait and see. Four doors versus a extended cab makes a huge difference I can just imagine a mega cab.

Great truck

I love my 04 dodge ram although it has a few things I would change, dodge has in their newer models like the center console instead of the fold down seat. Also it has a little bit of lag time when you really step on it which dodge has also improved on in their newer models. My one brother drives a 2010 ram and my other brother has a 2016. We love dodges!

Rusted out 2004 ram

I paid almost 40 thousand dollars for my 2004 ram about having it 7 years it started rusting you should see it now it looks like scrap metal. I will never buy another Dodge.
