My Ram is the finest truck I owned. Goodlooking, quick and rides smooth. The only heartburn I have is with the dealer. Before buying the 4.7 engine, I asked twice about 5.7 availability. That's the engine I wanted. I was told the 5.7 would not be available in the 1500 until the 2004 model year. 45 days later I could have had a V8.....a 5.7 V8 They lied to me to make a sale that day instead of telling me the truth. I would have ordered & waited. They lost me as a customer
Fun, fun, fun!

I just bought mine last week, used with 10,000 miles on it. I promptly picked it up and headed out on a road trip to Columbus, OH from Watertown, NY. If you havent driven a truck lately, go test drive this thing! The ride was spectacular! I was worried the seats might be too stiff, but after driving for over 7 hours, my fears had no merit. Great cornering, good suspension (its a bit bouncy over some rough highway) and WOW! What an engine! Mine came with the 5.7 Hemi, and its worth every penny as an extra. The exhaust is enough to get your heart pumping! Only negative that I have to say is the transmission. It likes to shift alot.
Great piece of equipment

I have put almost 50,000 miles on my truck in just over 3 years. I bought it not only as a commute vehicle, but to use it as a truck also. I haul things in the bed on a regular basis. I have even used it off road. I have never had even one problem with it. It performs well on and offroad. The only negative thing I can say is the mpg is not good. I average about 15 miles per gallon. Although, I knew that going into my purchase. That was going to be a sacrifice in order to get the interior room, the hauling and towing abilities, and the engine performance I needed. Overall, I could not be happier with it.
wont last if you live in the rust belt!!!!!!

I always liked dodge ram trucks mine is an 03 ram 1500 4x4 single cab short bed with a hemi.I bought it because it looks great and i'm not a fan of 4 door trucks.however this past year I noticed the frame has 4 rot holes in it due to the salting of the roads here in new england during the winter time.Dodge uses a cheap box frame that is made thinner than a piece of paper.I have owned 3 dodge trucks and this one is my last because of the cheap frame they use.So if you live where it snow's during winters I would avoid buying this truck because it wont last besides the frame the truck is starting to rot over the back wheels also.To bad really I really like the way it rides but its falling apart.So don't buy this truck if you want it to last because it wont.also the dash is cracking another issue that dodge ram have.
