Review

I came from a 04 Titan to this I loved the Titan but they seem to have some issues and I got the life time powertrain and bumper to bumper on the Dodge which no one else offered. The power and comfort is great. One touch of the throttle and man your off like a shot but you only notice it if your looking at you odometer otherwise you think your on a Sunday drive. The Titan had a lot of get up and go but man not like the new hemi. I got the remote starter which is coming in real Handy in the north right now. The only thing I miss from the Titan is the towing mirrors. I plan on keeping this for a while so I got the slt with 17 in wheels and the reg. Muffler to keep replacement cost down to a min.

Favorite Features

I never thought I would by a Dodge but with the warranties and the power and comfort it was a no brainer. I like the in floor storage and under rear seat storage. My kids love the side steps and the amount of room in the crewcab. The Titan had the King so there livin it up now. Serius is a real plus

Suggested Improvements

Better tow mirrors and make the wire harness standard with the tow package. Besides that I'm golden with my hemi.

Review

This truck rides smooth on and off the road. In the driver seat you feel like you command the road. Its big, powerful and yet gets good highway mileage. Everyone who has ridden in my truck has nothing but compliments. The Laramie package is just awesome.

Favorite Features

Driver ammenities are maxed out with this truck. Its a Cadillac in a trucks body. Dodge set the standard for driver comfort.

Suggested Improvements

I cannot think of a single improvement.

Review

I've owned Ford trucks, Chevy avalanches, and numerous cars. This is by far the "most" fun vehicle I've owned. Sleek styling, power, practical to boot. My favorite story is a guy I work with had a new Tundra. As we travel a lot together in the office we take turns driving. He used to make fun of my "Dodge". After some time I let him drive it while out on the road. Now, he wants to drive it all the time. Loves the acceleration (can't keep his foot out of that Hemi) and how great it drives overall. I've already put 22000 miles on it this year and it's still as fun to drive as the day I bought it.

Favorite Features

Console shifter, auto climate control, auto 4 wheel drive feature. ( my 07 Dodge didn't have that feature). Bluetooth, navigation, rear floor storage, heated and cooled seats, heated steering wheel,throaty dual exhaust.

Suggested Improvements

That it would get 35 miles to gallon without losing any of that power.:)

Review

This is my 3rd Dodge truck in 20 years. My last new 1997 Dodge was a jewel, never a problem, dependable as a swiss watch. My 09 Dodge has 21000 miles currently,dead reliably like the 97. I LOVE the truck, the Hemi is powerfull gets great mileage. Interior is top notch Ride is superb Buyers, BEWARE of some dealers that insist on rear end oil changes at 15000 miles. Victorville motors( VICTORVILLE CALIFORNIA) insisted that i change oil ($175.00) when the factory recommends rear end oil be changed ONLY in severe duty situations every 15000 miles. Spark plugs need changing every 30K miles( all 16 of them) at about $250.00. Read the owners manual first and save money

Favorite Features

The whole truck Life time warranty on power train

Review

This truck has super power and comfort. Fun to drive. Performance is fantastic. Fuel economy on the highway is very good, in city driving not so good. I like everything about this truck. I got the Big Horn Package, wished I'd gotten Leather Seats and Navigation. Quietest and smoothest Dodge I've ever owned.

Favorite Features

Performance of the Hemi and the quiet ride comfort. Mellow rumble of the dual exhaust.

Suggested Improvements

Try to improve the city fuel economy.

2009 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 ST 4dr Quad Cab 4WD SB (4.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

Bought the ST model with the 4.7 liter V8 Flex Fuel engine after being impressed with its power on the test drive. Drove all the makes and the killer warranty on this truck won me over. This is my first Dodge after owning GM, Ford and Nissan trucks over the years. Very smooth ride on the highway and on gravel roads, very little wind noise. Got 17mpg doing 75-80 on last road trip. Pitched the steel wheels and bought after-market 18s in black to complete the look. I do get the occasional question; Is it a 4x4? The body height seems lower on the new design. Overall, love the truck!

Favorite Features

Friendly ride, quiet interior, comfort. Rugged looks. Flex-Fuel option.

Suggested Improvements

Didn't come with remote key-less! Unbelievable! Tow hooks should be standard.

Review

These guys hit a home run. I want to bake a ton of chocolate chip cookies and send them to the factory to say thanks.

Favorite Features

Looks like a million bucks, drives like a luxury car, throws you back in the seat when you need to hit the gas.

Suggested Improvements

Have yet to find improvement needed but only had it three days so far. I don't know what else could be done to it to make it better. Best Dodge I have owned (3) and best truck I have owned (6).

I'm sure glad this is an american product.If it had been built by the japanese I'd have to believe all the hype the media always gives to their vehicles. On the highway ,with the new hemi, I'm getting 19 mpg. And with the power it's a joy! Can we have a drumroll....this truck is a winner...

Hemi,dash display,ride,looks

Can't see the benefit of 20" tires, but with the bighorn pckg, they were free
