2008 Dodge Ram 1500 consumer reviews

I bought this truck brand NEW, I now have 362,000 miles on her and she is still running great. My only repairs were a shaft in the transfer case and new bushings in the rear suspension. . I am planning on replacing the front struts and I am thinking about 3/4 ton leaf springs. Why ? Because the truck is used as a truck not a family sedan. But I can see why people use it as a family sedan. Rides like one. . I will never sell this truck. Best truck I ever owned ! Thank you Diamler Chrysler. Awesome truck.

I got this truck with the 5.7L when I got my license with 220,000 miles on it drove it for a years and got it to 280,000 miles before selling it. And I gotta say, I really miss this truck, never broke down on me, took a few trips to Cali and back from AZ and did amazingly. Only major repairs were the crank shaft positioning sensor which gave out around 270,000 and the fuel pump which went out around 250,000. I would highly recommend this truck. I’m looking to get another one myself

I have put over 100,000 miles since 2009 and have hauled furniture, firewood, sod and taken trips to Houston and Mississippi with no problems. The bed is large enough to carry couches or other large items. With the liner, firewood or stones don't effect the bed.

This is a good truck with low mileage. Very roomy. Great for hauling as well. Makes a great family vehicle. The white color is not my favorite, but I bought it used.

This truck is a beast in power and looks tough! Never had any issues and will be a Dodge Ram fan forever. I honestly can say this is the best truck I have owned.

I've never had a mechanical issue other than ball joints at 100k .The hemi is the most powerful 4x4 I've owned by far.highly recommend the 5.7 hemi.

This car has been a money pit in the 2 months i've owned it it has been in the shop almost the whole time I would not recommend ....

The truck runs great very reliable. Clean inside and out except for a small dent on the rear fender. Can be used for your personal vehicle or just a work horse.

I love this truck with a passion. But get your wrenches out because you’ll be working on this as much as that 8 hour work day that you already put blood and sweat into.

2008 Hemi 1500 quad cab. Had electrical issues from the day I drove it home. Long story short. I had to point out the issues and almost pull teeth out to get it worked on. Even had at the dealer for 47 days straight. Only to have dodge say that’s the way it is and we can’t duplicate it. After main warrenty was over it had several things bad. Surprise! I put over $5k into it. With the promise from Dodge warranty, they would pay for it. NOT. Took it in again with major complaining. Then Dodge finally found the electrical issue. I paid had to pay 60% of that bill. Then finish fixing it after I got it back. They left so many things unplugged while trying to trouble shoot. They didn’t put it all back together. Engine smoking at 10500 miles burning one quart in 900. Not enough. Needed to be 600 miles to a quart. 108500 miles head gasket blew. Life time warrenty would only fix the one head gasket. And it could take 5 weeks of fighting to have it done. Plus the high cost you pay to verify what’s wrong. Before warranty pays and pays you back. While getting the truck to a different repair shop to replace the engine. Transmission went out. Put in after market engine and trans. Wow very nice. 17 mpg Then the computer failed. This is a very short part of the dodge repairs. I was even told to go somewhere else to have it repaired. Dodge dealers can do that. So in all over $20k in repairs. With 10800 miles.
