NICE !

JUST PURCHASED A NEW 2009 DODGE 1500 CREW CAB AND I REALLY LIKE IT. DODGE PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO THIS TRUCK AND LISTED TO IT'S CUSTOMER. THE LITTLE THINGS ADD UP SUCH AS THE STORAGE UNDER SEAT, IN FLOOR COOLERS,2 GLOVE BOX'S ARE JUST A FEW THINGS NOT TO FORGET THE HEMI RUNS ON 4 OR 8 IF YOU NEED TO GET OUT OF THE WAY 0 TO 60 IN ABOUT SIX SECONDS AND MINE IS JUST THE BIG HORN PACKAGE. LET ME SAY BEFORE YOU BUY IT IS WORTH YOUR TIME TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP. PLUS A LIFE-TIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY IT'S GREAT.

See ya F150's in my rear view mirror

I have been a die hard Ford fan for years, but this new Ram has me converted. What is not to like? This thing has everything but the kitchen sink and pulls like a steer with a rope around it's neck! Classy styling inside and out and a ride quality on par with some older Caddy's I have driven. Get pass the gadgets and get to the nuts and bolts. 390 hp and the worse I have done in the city is just shy of 14mpg. Get it on the highway and cruise, 21 plus mpg. Need to get around or away from someone or thing? This truck does it with knock your socks off performance. Dodge took a truck that was losing the battle and created the proverbial Phoenix rising. It is the best 1/2 ton truck ever built and the best looking in years.

A New and Different Ram Experience

So far this thing is a credit to Dodge and their design team,it has a level of comfort,features,and ride quality not before seen in Ram ( or others) and it delivers the power in a more fuel efficient way,plus the extra storage features that Dodge throws in are a nifty bonus when needed.It's obvious that these guys are serious about earning your truck business after experiencing one.

30 day review

I wasnt really in the market for a new truck, but the incentives on the new Dodges were amazing! I have owned this truck for just over 30 days now and it exceeded my expectations by a long shot. The interior design and finish is heads and shoulders above my 2008 Ram. I looked at Ford and Chevy too and couldn't find a truck with as many options for anything under $35K. The Hemi's power is addictive, (70HP better than Ford's 5.4L). I would recommend this truck to family and friends, Dodge has hit this one out of the park!

What A Ram!

Have been most favorably impressed by all improvements in exterior and especially interior styling and quality,the storage options are great,so is the touchscreen sound system with audio memory,the Hemi gets it done with good mileage,the ride is nothing like any previous Ram(or anything else) I have had,apparently this supension is going to be the one to beat for light trucks,kudos to Dodge for going all out and showing what American engineering can do in the spirit of Chrysler innovation.

Replaced an older F150. Wow what improvements!

I considered only the "Big 3" (I wanted profits to stay in this country). I liked the innovation, value and features of the Dodge. For 2009 the warranty is unmatched... Lifetime driv etrain. Wow! Since I drove the last truck for 183K about half of my driving term would not be covered by any other manufacturer since they all stop at 100K. I plan to own this a looooong time!

DRIVES LIKE A CAR...RUNS LIKE A BEAST

I had an "04 Dodge Ram with a Hemi engine and this new one makes it look like Prius. Hit the gas in this truck and the pickup will floor you in the seat. I looked at several different trucks but none of them had the combination of performance and styling inside and out like the Ram did. The new instrument panel is awesome. It may seem like a small thing but being able to see the radio station on the instrument panel comes in handy. Plus the truck just looks mean and nasty....and thats a good thing

Dodge RAM 1500

Redesigned suspension is the smoothest yet. Like driving a car! Yet, is tough durable and tows anything I've put behind it. My preference is the crew cab because I put more inside than out.
