Great truck 4X4

This truck is reliable and great in the snow. Hauls and tows very well. Handles very well too. Needed better rust prevention around wheel wells and bottom of doors.

Most dependable truck I have owned

This truck is not only physically pleasing but it also completely exceeds my expectations in performance and reliability. I would recommend this truck to anybody, friends, and family. One downside is the gas mileage, but other than that, this truck is amazing. For only being 2wd and really heavy, it does great in snow.

Very reliable and lot's of power

I've owned this car for almost ten years and never had a serious reliability issue. Plenty of towing power and plenty of interior cab space. Only issue is a design flaw with the rear fender wells, because they collect water and eventually rust through.

My NEW 2006 truck

I love my new truck. It is 12 years old but in fantastic condition. I am the 5th owner, yet it only has has 90000 miles on it, so the previous owners only drove an average of 7,500 miles pr year -- why it looks so great for a work truck I guess.

Over all a solid and reliable truck

I've owned this truck for more than 10 years. It has been a reliable source of transportation and has given me minimal problems. Only issue at the moment is rust over the rear wheels.

Just purchased but love it so far

Full size, 4wd, automatic, pickup truck that is clean both inside and out. It rides nice down the highway, not too stiff or rough like my previous vehicle. Gas mileage is similar to previous vehicle.

Good all around truck

The 05 ram 1500 SLT is a great reliable truck for anyone who is in need of a 4x4. Some of the interior components are cheap and break from normal wear and tear but that consisted of plastic paneling for the automatic windows and locks. Everything mechanical on the truck works great still. The only thing that may keep you from loving this truck is heavy towing (horses and horse trailer) because the transmission seems to try and find a new gear when it's not necessary however it's still a smooth shifting rig regardless of weight. For comfortability I would say it's above average with the seats and how much cab space their is compared to the previous Ford I owned. I would highly recommend this truck to a single working individual all the way to a family with children And pets, the design of the truck makes it appealable and realistic for whatever your needs are.
