2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
Review
The 6.7L diesel has major problems. The engine clogs. I have had the truck contantly into the shop. Dodge does not have parts available and does not seem to have a fix designed. The engine parts need to be replaced or cleaned constantly. The fuel economy and power drop with each trip to the dealer. I seriously recommend NOT buying a Dodge with this engine. I paln to try to get different truck via the lemon laws in our state. The truck has been in the shop for the same problem over and over and is going in again soon.

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 ST 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
Review
I have owned this truck for 16 months. Overall it has been a decent truck. The truck has been back to the dealer 3-4 times for emission problems. I feel this is an ongoing issue that may never be resolved on the truck.I use the truck to drive to and from work and to pull trailers on the week-ends.The truck works great for that.
Favorite Features
The overall looks of the Dodge.
Suggested Improvements
Improve the interior. The light grey color is not acceptable for a truck I use to work out of. The emissionnisuue is a huge issue that should have been resolved before selling to consumers. Fuel mileage needs to improve. The mileage I am getting is unacceptable from a diesel puick-up.

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab LB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)
Review
I have had my 2007 Dodge 3500 6.7 for a year and 12000 miles and love it. You need to drive these things like you are borrowing them ie. get on them! Helps to keep them clean, and is a lot of fun. Don't just drive them in town. I pull a 5th wheel rv with great ease and get 14mpg doing it, and 17-20 without it.
Favorite Features
6 speed manual, engine brake, total towing truck

Make more of the options standard,

Review
I have owned my Ram for 15 months and have had to bring it to the shop a few times, but the dealership took care of it. I love this truck, tons of power, but marginal fuel economy. Avg 17mpg. I put a leveling kit and some beefier tires and with this winter weather in Washington I have been able to drive anywhere. We take long road trips every chance we get and our Cummins continues to purr. I love it
Favorite Features
Gawdy power from the diesel, comfortable interior, the awesome look of the Dodge
Suggested Improvements
Fuel economy, cab storage, larger tires

Review
This vehicle is a the worst reliable truck I ever owned. It has been in the repair shop 8 Times with emissions problems, 1-rear end, and 1 front wheel hub. It appears these diesels made after Jan 2007 are a enviromental emissions nightmare and have to be serviced every 1,000 miles or they plug up the converter, egr valve, and egr cooler. They charge from $350-$1000 each time, I understand the 2008's have the same problem.

They might test these new emissions systems before the sell them to people.

Review
We have not had very good luck with our 2007 6.7 cummins. We have had a lot of trouble from the particle filter. With my experience with diesels if it doesn't smoke something is wrong. Cannot make this truck smoke. Every 12,000 miles we have to have the particle filters cleaned. They say it is impossible to put a aftermarket chip in it. What you buy is what you get. Hope things level out on repairs.
Favorite Features
Good looking truck. Strong as an OX.
Suggested Improvements
Put a different particle filter so it doesn't stop up every 12,000 miles. Make it aftermarket friendly, motor wise.

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Laramie 4dr Mega Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
Review
I spec'd this out for my husband after extensive research. We have a small hot shot business and needed a powerful, yet reliable truck to pull goose neck flatbed trailers. The 6.7 L Cummins was the big draw. I did order the truck with some aesthetic touches that made it easy on the eye and set up good for long drives. We had the problem with the emission light coming on frequently, but that is resolved now. Pulls loads up to 9000 lbs without even knowing it is back there, including through the mountains of VA. In LOVE with the truck and it draws gawkers everywhere my husband goes to deliver loads. Other than the fuel mileage, it is AWESOME.
Favorite Features
Power, extremely quiet engine, interior room, comfortable seats for tall people, back seat is like a living room, room behind back seat, heated seats, solid feel, separate ac controls, sharp looks.
Suggested Improvements
Improve gas mileage.

Review
2007 Mega SLT 4x4 Diesel 2500 If you want luxury and comfort this might not be your truck, buy a Chevy LTZ. If you want reliability and performance this is it. I have driven them all numerous times. Ford is ok, Chevy is alright, Toyota is nice and Nissan is downright awful. The new Ford Diesel might be the answer they have been looking for, time will tell. Chevy has the tranny but the diesel is marginal. Toyota and Nissan do not offer a diesel. I will drive this truck for 200,000 miles to break it in and then go for another 400,000 before I start to even think about an engine problem. Towing is a breeze and the engine brake or "Jake Brake" is a huge plus. 6 speed auto tranny is great.
Favorite Features
Without question, Cummins Diesel, there is NO substitute!!!
Suggested Improvements
Front seats are the most uncomfortable pile of rocks to sit on. Laramie is hardly worth the money.

Review
I never owned a truck, but when I came back from Colorado I had to get one. I drove Fords and Chevrolets in Colorado for the company and all were quad cabs and extended cabs. I saw my crew's face after the hour and a half drive and they were not happy, from Meeker CO. to Grand Junction CO. I wouldn't be either! I returned last month with "The Big Red Truck" and I now have a crew of musky, dirty, well worked men who argue to take turns to ride in the cab. The truck drives like a charm. I couldn't see myself in a Ford, Chevy, or some foreign made truck, yet I wonder what would happen if I married my 6.7 Cummins to an Allison Transmission? More POWER?
Favorite Features
Got to love the Jake Brake... BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR, Diesel, The Power, 4X4, The Cabin.
Suggested Improvements
Auto dimming side view mirrors, Auto changing info on console between MPG, compass, and miles to empty. That would be nice.

Review
I have owned my dodge {3500} for for nearly a year and love the truck. I had three Chevy's and one GMC prior, the power and performance were no where near comparable. I own a business in the construction industry and average 15 to 20 mpg depending on its use, I have pulled small excavators to loads of gravel and the cummins has pulled like a champ all the way. I have find it great on the highway, but rough very rough on gravel roads. I have had to replace the back window for leakage problems. visibility and maneuverability are ten out of ten compared with any truck I've ever driven.
Favorite Features
Cummins 5.9L Diesel. on demand 4x4. visibility and high sitting. Ground clearance. power moonroof and cab room. storage. Better then a Chevy or Ford any day.
Suggested Improvements
The tires are far to small, and the treads are useless. The box needs to be constructed of a thicker gauge metal, dents easily and the tie downs will pull and bend the box easily when cinched on.
