2008 Dodge Ram 1500 consumer reviews

DOES NOT EVEN COMPARE: to Chevy or Ford in the Northwoods, fuel milage TERRIBLE, replacement parts cost VERY high! Bought an '08 with the Hemi (mistake) had 16341 miles on it, when purchased/at 21767 miles had to replace front wheel bearings/although alignment was within guidelines.. The thing enjoys "eating" GoodYear tires; but "fixed" that by going to General AT2 tires! (don't know why they wear better..) Truck does work hard, has plenty of "power" but just doesn't add up to the Chevy or Fords I've had.!

I JUST BOUGHT A 2008 DODGE RAM 1500 BIG HORN AND I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!! IT'S A GREAT TRUCK AND I COULDN'T ASK FOR MORE IN A TRUCK.

In short, I purchased this vehicle new to replace a 2000 Durango that I now wish I had never gotten rid of. The Durango was awesome, with never a problem. This 2008 Ram has excellent design but atrocious build and execution. In the less than 2 years I have owned it it has been in for warranty repairs 6 times. Recurring wind noise/leaks, recurring water leaks in two different locations, environmental control problems, the thing is just poorly built. AVOID AVOID AVOID!

I would definately tell people about this truck! Hemi power all the way! As a former Ford Truck owner.

Found an 08 Ram 1500 Quad Cab Hemi thru cars.com with 15k miles in sunburst orange pearl. Awesome truck-but make no mistake this is a truck and rides like one.Hemi power is very strong. Every thing I wanted for my first pick-up

I've owned several trucks and SUV's (FORD, DODGE) and this is by far the best of the bunch. GREAT power and handling. Feels like a much smaller sport type car. I will buy again!

This is a used purchase of a bare-bones manual tranny truck -just what I wanted. The six-speed shifts easily and keeps me entertained. It has a 3.7l V-6 and that has plenty of power for the kind of truck it is. The styling is head-turning, especially with a few add-ons like a replacement grill and new wheels. I got what I was looking for - there are not many manual transmissions around anymore.

I bought my truck new march 08. Its a head turner, always great comments, my quad cab,My ram is the SLT quad cab big horn with sun group option. Leather seats, sun roof, gas mileage is ok for big truck with hemi. Ill have it two years in March and love like the day i drove oof the lot.GOOD inside, Great outside.Mine is Sunburst orange with kaki inside. love it. I wish people would not bang my doors.Best looking truck on the road.Best truck I own.

I have an 08 4x4 1500 Ram Quadcab HEMI Big Horn Edition. It is the first brand new vehicle I have owned. I think the truck's comfort is top notch, even for cloths seats. It is much more comfortable then when compaired to my 98 Grand Cherokee which had leather seats. The HEMI is unmatchable as always and gives me 17 MPG at 65 and I usually averge 15.3 on a 50/50 driving mix. My brothers 04 GMC 5.3 does the same. Handling can be rough but it is a pickup. It does have a smoother ride then my 98 Grand Cherokee. Styling is top notch. I recieve many compliments about it, usually about 3 a week. Interior is the only weakish spot. Does look plasticy but I think it is very ergonomic. Everything is right were you expect it too be. The features for the Big Horn/Lone Star group is great: Trip computer, compass, fog lights, power rear window, all come standard. This is a great option package for the Ram. The value for my truck is top notch. I got more as many options in my truck, that who paid $40,000 got in theirs. The reliablity is great, I have never been stranded, however I did have a windsheild wiper problem shortly after I bought it. It was replaced under warranty and been flawless ever since.

I purchased a RAM HEMI 1500 about 8 months ago and I still love it. The power of this truck is amazing. I put on a Flowmaster 40 series muffler and the sound is amazing. Gas mileage isnt too bad for a truck of this size. I get 16 MPG in town and 21 on the freeway. I got the Big Hord edition with 20' wheels and the 5.7 Hemi. Sticker was 42k and I walked out the door with TT and L for 21k. What a deal. Great truck overall. Intererior is nice and roomy, and it handles like a dream. I would recomend this truck to anyone.
