Review

I HATE this truck!! It has been in the shop more than in my driveway. Everything that could go wrong, has. I had a Chevy before, and my husband wanted a Dodge because the 6.7L Cummings diesel is supposed to be the best. I can't wait to get ride of this disaster and buy another Chevy. This truck is a Lemon!!

Favorite Features

Electric sliding rear window & the space behind the back seat.

Suggested Improvements

New engine

First and Last Dodge

Review

I am a small business owner and I use the truck to haul a fuel transfer tank and tool box. I am pleased with the power of the Cummins. There is no noticeable loss in whether empty or loaded. My problem is the build quality. This truck is just over one year old an it has been in the shop more than my Chevy that has over 130,000 miles. They have replaced the rear diff. seal, the rear window, the main computer, and now my check engine light is on. All this on a vehicle with less than 32,000 miles. It becomes a hassle trying to run a small business when you cannot use your truck. I should have listened to my wife and bought a CHEVY!!!

Strong Cummins motor

Review

My third Dodge truck. Loved each one with not one problem with any of them. Needed a truck to tow 5th wheel over mountains in Colorado and couldn't find any negative reports on Cummins diesel. Had it two weeks only and love it. Drives great and is very quite.

Favorite Features

Laramie package. Wouldn't have ever quested I would own the best.

My First Dodge

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)

Review

I bought the truck to tow a 6,000 lb travel trailer with room to upgrade to something heavier. Our first outing netted 13 mpg at the California mandated 55 mph towing speed limit. It achieves about 22 mpg sans trailer. The driver's door shudders on bumpy roads and is poorly sealed. The transmission shifts down quite hard when coming to a stop. Cruise controls are very awkward. Very rough riding. Love the Cummins 6.7 liter. It has yet to shift down out of 6th gear on cruise control. We now have 1500 miles on it and look forward to thousands more.

Favorite Features

The Cummins engine. It fits in my garage.

Suggested Improvements

For towing RV's, could be lower and more comfortable for long range driving. Better control ergonomics - paddle shifters, adaptive cruise control, gas pedal too vertical, sharp front edge of seat, climate control option, adaptive suspension (stiff loaded, soft in cruise mode), dip stick tough read.

Review

I bought this truck because I wanted the durability of the Cummins 6.7L diesel. I travel a fair amount and the truck is very comfortable on the road. Fuel mileage has increased as I get closer to 10,000 miles. I average around 20mpg on the highway but down to 14.5 mpg in the city. I haven't had any problems with the truck except for the check engine light coming on and going off about every week or so. This is a big truck so can be a bit tight parkingin a shopping center lot but not unmanageable. Very comfortable on the road and really fun to drive

Favorite Features

Seat warmers, sunroof, exhaust brake, power rear window, quier powerful engine, underseat storage bins in the rear

Suggested Improvements

Ipod connection, better nav system

Review

OK, I bought the left over 07, loaded, great price, rebates, so I paid less than I would have for a 08 1500 gasser. The fuel economy is fantastic! The engine will not even be broken it until about 10K miles and I am getting 20 on the highway and 16 around town! Power is fantastic, handling is tight and sure. I have the TRX4 package and the truck rides better than my 00 Durango! If you want a "real" truck..buy the 2500HD with the cummins!

Favorite Features

Cummins power plant, handling and ride, fuel economy, view of the road, 4WD and anti lock brakes makes this truck more like a luxury vehicle!

Suggested Improvements

Wide angle mirror mounted on the trailer mirrors is in a bad location, needs to be in the lower corner, not the upper left when they are not swung out in trailer mode.

Review

I bought my truck new about a year ago. I opted for the proven 5.9L Cummins and automatic transmission. Power is awesome and fuel mileage is great considering the size and weight of the truck. I average about 20 MPG mixed driving. The heaviest load I ever pulled was about 6000 LBS; you don't even know it is back there. I am 6'2" and love the roomy interior. Seats were comfortable on a 1100 mile trip. This is my fifth Dodge Ram and the second with a Cummins. Before I bought this one I test drove a Duramax. No comparison!

Favorite Features

Sirius radio, navigation system, power, room, fuel consumption, and the bold looks.

Suggested Improvements

Offer larger tires; as soon as I bought my truck I put 295/70-17 Nitto's on it. That is the way the truck should look when it comes from the factory (my opinion). Offer some darker interior colors. Add Mopar tube steps for easier entry.

Review

I recently purchased my 2007 Ram Quad Cab 4x4 with the new 6.7 Cummins. Wow what a powerful machine. The 325hp is apparent when you hammer the throttle. Mileage wise not to bad either 15/18 only 4,000 miles on it so should get better as it breaks in. Comfortable seats but agree with other reviews that the material is a little soft. See over time how it wears.

Favorite Features

Cummins power, roomy interior, under seat storage, Sirius radio, exhaust brake, and the get out of my way front end.

Suggested Improvements

Factory tube steps or steps of some sort would make it easier for smaller framed people to get in and out of as it sits high.

Mega Cab 4x4

Review

This is my 4th brand new ram since 2000. The cummins is deffinetly the best of all diesels. It's proven itself several times with its towing, fuel economy and dependibilty. Not to fond of the new look of both the interior and exterior. The tires completely kill the look of the truck. My last ram was a Hemi sport and it definetly killed me having to upgrade to a pickup that doesn't look very appealing. Need to have a sport option and a darker color interior.

Favorite Features

Diesel power, back seat (2 kids w/1 on the way), infinity stereo, its a RAam.

Suggested Improvements

Dodge please improve interior, the new center console has no purpose except for clutter, the interior (cloth) is to light in color and the interior overall has no appeal except for size, I'm a huge fan of Ram's sport models but none are offered for mega cab, tires!!! Whats up with the tire size?

Last of the 5.9's

Review

After extensive analysis and research I opted to buy one of the last new 5.9 Cummins diesels. What a truck! It is like piloting a freight train. The power is truly awesome. We took the truck on a 1,400 mile trip and got 19 mpg going 75+ with the A/C on. It is very high off the ground. Side steps may be mandatory for some folks. The range on a tank of fuel is amazaing as well - over 600 miles. Got the "Big Horn" package and like all the "Heavy Duty" features. Of course the Sirius Radio is great and the seats are comfortable. The motor is truly and engineering masterpiece. I am glad I purchased one of the last relatively un- smogged Diesels. I fear the enviro reg's may ruin these.

Favorite Features

Cummins 5.9! Bold look and ride height. Unstoppable freight train attitude. Solid front axle; stout 4x4 system

Suggested Improvements

Nothing really. It is all that is hyped up to be. But, how about adjustable shocks (like Rancho's) that would allow you to soften the ride a bit when the load is light, no?
