2007 Ram 4x4 review

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 ST 2dr Regular Cab 4WD SB (4.7L 8cyl 6M)

Review

First off I must mention this truck has the old model 4.7L motor and not a Hemi or the 250HP 4.7L that came out later in 2007. The truck has been fun to drive aside from being a bit underpowered on the freeway. I have used the 4x4 on weekend excursions and the truck is plenty comfortable for longer vacations.

Favorite Features

4x4, V-8, tinted windows, containment tray behind the seats, fold-down center console, tow hooks, towing package

Suggested Improvements

I have been having problems with the truck occasionally not starting. The dealership replaced the WCM and it did it again a week later. Nobody seems to know a permanent solution.

Review

This is by far the best truck I've driven or rode in. The 5.7 has nothing but power. Fuel economy around 18 on hwy at 65. Around 14 in city. The backseat is huge. I have a friend that's 6'4 and has plenty of leg room. The heated leather seats and sound system are awesome. I have no complaints. Compliments everywhere I go. I. Bought with intentions of a family vehicle and it will serve great for that and work. The rear room is more than any SUV or car. By far the best vehicle I've ever had.

Favorite Features

Heated seats, infinity sound, leg room, comfortable leather, lots of power, great looks and plenty of room.

Suggested Improvements

Padded middle console, memory seats,

Review

I've only had it for about 2 months so far but it is truly awesome! I got the "ThunderRoad" edition, which (as best as I can tell) included bigger/better tires/rims, better stereo/speakers, and nerf step up bars. The ride is quite smooth and the interior is very comfortable. Obviously the mileage isn't "peak", but it's a V8 truck for heavens sake so that really shouldn't be a complaint for any owner - that said, however, I've averaged about 18.5 mpg so far and even have a cellphone snapshot of it hitting 21.1 mpg at one point (all highway driving obviously - but 21.1 in a V8 pickup truck...awesome!)

Favorite Features

The high ride and the feeling of overall security. You drive the highway and don't feel you're being moved by a gust of wind off an 18- wheeler...oh, and speaking of, it's so quiet inside - I mean no road noise whatsoever! Oh yeah, and it's American company and American assembly - support the USA.

Suggested Improvements

Only 1 thing - air conditioning. It's a single unit and has no vents in the console for the backseat folks. My wife likes it warmer than I so either she gets cool or I'm too warm, and the kids deal with whatever comes through the vent up front - other than that, it rocks!

Decent truck but 4WD is not that strong

Review

Overall this truck has been excellent for the money. My 07 4.7L Ram 4X4 has plenty of space and offers a very comfortable ride. Have had no problems except for with the 4WD system. I have 25K and have already had a problem with the front drive axles slipping off the front diff splines making it very difficult to drive in the snow. As of yet no word on whether Dodge will fix it under warranty. Transmission does shift difficult at times but other then that excellent mpg. ranging anywhere from 12-22MPG depending on city or freeway driving.

Favorite Features

Roomy interior, comfortable and cleanly layed out. Drives like a car with all the benefits of a truck.

Suggested Improvements

4WD needs to be stronger and more durable then it has proved to be.

Review

I've always been a muscle car guy. When I test drove my 5.7 Hemi (Big Horn Edition) i enjoyed having that power on demand. This truck was the best value for the buck. Hands down. Plus the lifetime warranty is unmatched. I've had the truck for over a year now and have not had a single problem. Great for Hauling my muscle cars around! Actually gets better fuel economy while towing on the hwy! This is my first truck and what an amazing truck it is!

Favorite Features

Power on demand and the way it handles like a regular car. Not all sluggish like some large vehicle!

Suggested Improvements

Make nerf bars a standard option!

Review

I own the 07 Ram 1500 SLT Quad Cab with the 4.7 V8 automatic. About every 2-3 months there's always something crapping out in it. Off the lot it had a module bad, that wouldn't allow the keys to program. Starting issues that are still not resolved because it wont duplicate when the techs are looking at it. Both fog lights broke. They fixed that. About 3 months later check engine light. Some canister failed. Took 2 weeks to fix that. 9 Month mark, trucks starts to pull. They replaced a bushing. Took 2wks for that, still pulling. They aligned my truck to a faulty machine..they admitted their machine was bad and got that fixed. Radiator fan will grind under heavy stress and engine temps.

Favorite Features

Suggested Improvements

Gas mileage highway ran about 22 tops, 19 mainly and 15-16 city. E85 runs at 9-10city, 11-12 hwy. Tires didn't last long, already replaced 2 rear, bald at 16k miles. It rarely happens, but when its hot and I am dogging it, it will grind then the clutch will engage to fully which causes LOUD rad fan whirl (fan noise). Still not resolved. Unable to duplicate. Rarely engine will take 5-6 full seconds to start, just freely cranks over for 5-6 sec

Dodge Issues

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab SB (4.7L 8cyl 6M)

Review

This is my first Dodge. I love the truck but will not be able to keep it after warranty. The engine light comes on with regularity. Luckily warranty has covered the new computer, all the code checks, leaking shock, wind noise adjustments. Warranty has not covered my TIME to bring the truck in and wait. If Dodge could fix this issue I would love the truck but will not be able to afford it after the warranty. My advice, lease one.

Lease a Dodge, do not buy one.

Review

This is my 2nd Dodge Ram and I purchase the 2007 5.7 hemi. The engine gets great gas mileage compared to the 4.7. On a flat highway going 55 to 60 mph this truck clocks 30 to 31 miles per gallon.

Favorite Features

Towing capacity, ride and handling

Suggested Improvements

The speakers could be improved that is the only issues I have had with it.

4.7 Does Just Fine

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 ST 4dr Quad Cab 4WD SB (4.7L 8cyl 6M)

Review

Nice truck, mpg is better than my Ford Ranger that I traded, The 4.7 engine looks to be well designed and has plenty of power, Transmission seems to have a mind of its own shifts are inconsistent and jerky at times, but if it becomes a bigger issue I always have the peace of mind of the lifetime powertrain warranty

Favorite Features

Looks, power, warranty, price, American made

Suggested Improvements

Hard to judge where the front end is while on narrow roads , a better transmission program.

Review

I have owned 5 Dodge Rams, and this is the best one yet. The ride, handling, reliability and comfort are unsurpassed. This is the only half-ton truck to offer ESP. What a life saver! ESP has saved me many times this winter driving down narrow country roads. The seats are a perfect fit. The rack and pinion steering makes the truck fun and nimble. I have had no trouble at all.

Favorite Features

Styling, reliability, seat comfort, steering, ESP. The local dealer in Fredonia is phenomenal. They are very accommodating and they provide free rental cars for any service

Suggested Improvements

I would like to see heated cloth seats like other mopar products, memory seats like GM vehicles and a more upscale interior like that of GM, however it should still look tough inside UNLIKE GM. That means great materials, comfort, and features with a tough look as well
