04 Ram 1500

I purchased her new and have babied it ever sense. Still the best looking truck body style on the road today. I purchased the Rumble Bee and it's a killer throwback to the old muscle. The 5.7 Hemi is more than enough but it's not a race car, though it looks like one. Does it ride stiff?, heck yeh, it's a Dodge truck. I have been driving Dodge trucks since 1996 and they have all been great. 136,000 miles and counting and only had to replace a power steering hose and egr valve.

SRT-10

Supple suspension upholding a strong chassis propelled by an insanely vigorous engine. Barely adequate accommodations in a cheesy interior keep the package affordable. What's not to like?

Passes everything

But the gas station. Strong, powerful, and good looking. Can handle anything I throw at it. Just a little thirsty, but I knew that going in.

Awesome Truck

I bought this vehicle used- a Ram 1500 R/T sport truck. One of the best looking trucks on the road. It gets lots of looks and compliments from people. Ride: The truck ride is a bit stiff, and it hops over potholes. This is due to the stiff sport suspension and wide tires. It rides smoother and more stable when it has some load in the bed. Handling is excellent for a pick-up truck; it rides flat on turns and off-ramps, and goes just where you point it- no significant over or understeer. Performance: the engine accelerates briskly; the sport exhaust has a nice low growl that turns heads but is not obnoxious. Gas mileage is average for an 8-cyl pickup - about 14.5 mpg city and I've squeezed as much as 22 mmpg on the highway. Interestingly, that's the exact same gas mileage that I get in my V6 Chrysler Pacifica. Exterior fit and finish is excellent; interior is fair. I've had some issues with the interior light assembly coming apart. All in all I'm very pleased at this vehicle. It was a great value and I am enjoying it tremendously.

Dodge Ram 1500

They all make good ones and all have oops! They're only as good as the parts put in and the people putting those parts in it. I bought this one at a very, very good price. My 01 Dakota was very good to me, so looking for another Dodge truck was not a problem. This one is bigger and will pull our boat with less effort.

Great Truck !

I bought this with only 38k on the clock, so in real terms it has still to be run in. But what a great peice of American engineering !.It goes well on road or track,its comfortable and spacious,transmission is smooth.The only down side is gas useage,but if you buy a 4.7l vehicle , you know that going in.

Ram Tough

First Ram I've ever owned, but I'm very impressed. The Hemi is a fantastic engine and this truck has been rock solid since I purchased it new. I have almost 170,000 miles on it with only a few problems. Not like my previous two trucks which were both Chevys...Ugh, nothing but garbage. If you keep up the maintenance on it you'll never have a problem, I change the oil religiously every 3000 miles and do all the servicing on time. I work this truck hard (construction, masonry), and play hard (4 wheeling in the mountains), and she's never let me down. I love driving it like I stole it!

Great Piece of american machinery

Have always liked Mopar/Hemi cars. Never thought of a truck. Bought it mostly for work(remodeling) but now has become my favorite vehicle that I've ever owned. Plus, I can haul around ANYTHING. The engine on this thing is ridiculous(5.7 Magnum) and the interior comfort is great. I got the crew cab.
