2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 SLT 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

I have had the MegCab for 4 months and have been nothing but pleased with this purchase. I purhcased this for towing/people hauling and it definitely fits the bill. Fuel mileage is about what I expected (18mpg). I would strongly recommend this to anyone looking for more versitility than a minivan.

Favorite Features

Engine strength, Interior room

Suggested Improvements

Wheel well liners should be factory install not an aftermarket purchase.

Dodge ST 1500 4WD, 6 Spd Manual

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

Review

Economy would most likely improve with a taller 5th and 6th gear. Can be painful in freeway traffic. Handling is good, build is very good, and seat comfort excellent.

Favorite Features

Seat and interior comfort, quietness

Suggested Improvements

Either taller top gears or a higher rear end...maybe a 3.23

Love that Hemi

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Laramie 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

I have the 2007 Big Horn SLT 4Dr Quad Cab SB 5.7L HEMI. And I love that truck. More power than I need, but I like having it. The truck looks great sitting on those 20in rims. All around a very nice truck. I have not had any trouble at all with fit or fininsh, that was the only thing I was worried about before buying it. I guess the guy that put my truck together was on top of his game that day.

Favorite Features

Satellite radio and those 20in rims (just not looking forward to replacing those tires).

Suggested Improvements

I wish the gas mileage was better, but I knew what it was going in, so I guess I can't complain.

2nd Ram for Me

Written by: Jonathan on 06/08/2007

Vehicle

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 ST 2dr Regular Cab SB (3.7L 6cyl 6M)

Review

My new Ram replaced an '03 Ram Quad Cab. I am very pleased with the performance, handling and comfort of this vehicle, which is smaller and more fuel efficient than the Quad. The smaller 3.7 V6 engine is ideal for me as I do city driving but have the need for a full-size truck for hauling. I have owned Ford and GMC trucks previously and none of them gave as much power with a V6 as this truck does. Dodge has made a lot of refinements in looks, style, appearance and comfort with this truck. My vehicle has the SXT package which is a notch above the base ST model. It is well-equipped with power options, cruise, Sirius, offers good value and good looks for a very reasonable price.

Favorite Features

Attractive dashboard layout, easy to read gauges, easy to read daytime and well-illuminated at night. Very good stereo sound for a factory-installed unit. Adding Sirius was a great addition. Fun to drive, maneuvers great.

Suggested Improvements

Only one complaint noted: There is a small gap located on the hood, on the driver's side where the hood joins the left front fender panel. A little more attention at the factory would have prevented this. But, few things in life are perfect these days.

Not a Gas Saver

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Laramie 4dr Quad Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

This is the 3rd new truck that I bought, the first Dodge ever. Why a Dodge, well, it was the cheapest! It has power, plenty of it! Even with the upgraded 20 inch wheels and 35 inch tires it can tow almost anything with its Hemi. However, it has three problems, fuel is the biggest, never has it come close to what Dodge says it does, on average it gives about 11 MPG, 13 on the highway if the wind is behind you, 10 in town no matter how you drive. Another problem are the stiff seats, they are very uncomfortable after seating for about 30 minutes, I get off and sit in my brother's Chevy 2500, and immediatly notice the diference. The other problem is the off- center stearing wheel to the driver.

Favorite Features

Power. That says it all. It is a powerful truck. Not only that, its pearl coats on the paint looks great. Mine is very sexy with its flame metallic paint with pearl clearcoat, on lots of chrome. It's a head turner!

Suggested Improvements

First and foremost, the confort of the seats, or lack there off! Unfortunately my test drive didn't last 60 minutes otherwise I would have not bought it. Second, center the steering wheel to the driver, its annoying haveing to lean one inch to the right. Gas, OK, its expected from the 5.7 Hemi.

Fit & Finish

Review

My Dodge has all the motor performance you could want. I've had both Ford and Chevy and it beats them hands down. The one area seriously lacking in the Ram is the fit and finish. I've had trouble with door seals, rattles and a poorly opening center console.

Favorite Features

Power

Suggested Improvements

Fit & finish on the interior.

Happy Dodge Ram Owner

Review

Well this truck is just outstanding. With its 8,500 lbs in towing copacity it will easily cary my 4,600 trailer camper, and our 2,200 lb boat. It has room for all 5 of us with room to spare with its six passanger seating arangement. A real big look too. My neighbor said it looked like a little Mack truck. With a few accessories this will be a truck that turns heads, and hauls like a Ram. The short turning radius has even my wife happy. Thank you Dodge

Favorite Features

I love the 20 inch tires for that added lift.

Suggested Improvements

Would be nice to have the rotating mirrors on any tow vehicle

Hemi Ram's Rule

Written by: manuel zarate jr on 03/26/2007

Vehicle

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Laramie 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

I love the look of the Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi. It has that man's man truck look and the power to back that look. Match that with the massive 20" chrome wheels and the truck has that "Git-outa-my-way" attitude that the competition works hard to protray,but never achieves.

Favorite Features

I like the relationship Dodge has developed with Sirius radio that gives us a great choice. Once again, the Hemi rules and I like knowing I've got the omph if I need it.

Suggested Improvements

I wish the cab had a little more room compared to my '01 Dodge. Also,the brake pedal is too close to the gas pedal. More than once have I stepped on the brake when removing the shift lever from stop to reverse and hit both pedals at once. You can just imagine the reving of the engine and braking at once

Review

Hard miles with the minimum maintenence has stuck me on the Dodge truck. I purchased a used Dakota with 150k miles and sold it two years later with 214k before buying my Ram 1500. I was hoping that the Dakota wasnt a fluke because you know sometimes it just depends who was working the factory that Monday when you get those trucks that just keep on going. But my 1500 has not dissapointed yet, I've put a hard 52k in one year and it runs like it just finally got broke in.

Favorite Features

The cruise is ergonomic and much better than the turn signal models. And I love that little space behind the seats, even in a regular cab you can recline a little bit.

Suggested Improvements

Factory stereo is lacking. Tranny could be geared a little higher.
