Review

Great truck except for the fuel mileage and the hesitation in engine between gear shifts its a 6 speed manual. My old 2001 Dodge got 21-22 mph

Favorite Features

i like the way it drives and rides, the interior and the way it looks.

Suggested Improvements

Work on the fuel mileage and the hesitation in engine, have been told it was something to do with the new style turbo?

I am disappointed; 4th New RAM Cummins

Review

My first RAM was a 1990 W250 4x4, later traded for new 2002, new 2004, and now 2007. I haul a 12 foot 3500 pound slide in camper and tow 18 foot FLW bassboat. The fuel economy and power was unbelievably fantastic! Running empty 24 MPG. I tracked my MPG using a spreadsheet on my computers. I tracked my fishing holes, too! Fully loaded the camper was 3500 pounds sittin in the bed and the Bassboat was 6000 tow weigh. At 65 MPH I did between 20.5 and 21.7 MPG. The 2007 has been a big disappointment. My last long haul we averaged 8.8 MPG and running empty 14.6. When you hit a head wind out west you can expect a filter light on the pollution systems. All that power of the 6.7L and I couldn't use!

Favorite Features

My 2007 Six speed manual is better then my 2004 automatic. The electric 4x4 shift works very well! It gives more room for storage. 5046 pounds of truck bed payload is great! I can load up my Lance 1141 camper. The ground clearance is awesome, even loaded! The loaded RAM can still crawl in the mud.

Suggested Improvements

I want my MPG back! Dodge should not have neutered the Cummins of it MPG to power qualities just to please the fickle mob. Dodge should have given the buyers a choice between a neutered or unneutered Cummins Diesel. This will be my last RAM! Goodbye!

Review

80,000 miles in 6 months overall truck does the job but the 6.7 engine has been nothing but problem after problem. The new emissions particular filter has clogged 2 times within 2000 miles shutting down truck and having to get towed. Overall truck is a great truck except for the emission on the 6.7 engine. Roadside assisstance program needs some serious improvement. Let me down 3 times.

Favorite Features

Interior comfort, built in GPS great for cross country driving.

Suggested Improvements

Emissions on 6.7 engine

Review

I have been with Ford for many years but have always been a fan of I6 engine design over V8 diesels. So I decided to give Dodge a chance. So far I am very pleased with the entire vehicle. Very quiet and ride is good considering it's a one ton, great power (6.7 Cummins), smooth trans., 3.73 and 6-speed seems to be a great combination. Lots of low end grunt and a nice flat torque curve..650@1500 to 2800. Build quality is very good. I live on a dirt (washboard) road and no rattles..amazing. Exterior paint and finish are excellent. Dollar value I feel was best compaired to Chevy/GM and Ford. I would recommend anyone to test drive before buying any other make.

Favorite Features

Quiet, Cummins, 6-speed auto. Simple comfortable interior. Fit and finish.

Suggested Improvements

Illuminated controls on steering wheel and doors.

2007 Dodge, last of the 5.9 Cummins

Review

Purchased 07/5.9 cummins in 05/25/07. Quad cab Big Horn 4x with 6 speed. Power great, good mileage in breaking 18/23 mpg. But build quality is something that lacks desire. Oil pan bolts fell out,turbo lines leaked, two radios, new dashboard and who knows what is next. Truck spent 15 days of first 45 of ownership in dealership. I've owned Chevy Duramax first generation, no problems, not one. Bought the Dodge for all the good things I've heard about it. I'm disappointed. My selling dealership has been great with service, but driving 800 miles to get it fixed isn't fun. I like the mileage from this motor over the duramax, but would go back to GM ASAP. Beware of what your buying and enjoy.

Favorite Features

Power, tons of power. Six speed bullet proof. Seats are firm and looks are great. Oh and the mileage, 23 before broke in.

Suggested Improvements

Lots, overall assembly and build quality. Rattles and rattles, paint also seems cheap over other models owned. You can get a lemon in all makes and models, but this one spends too much time there for me. Will go back to Chevy/GMC soon.

Review

Dodge pulled all of the stops with this truck, sexy looks, all the power you can ever need. Massive interior, best stock stereo in the business. Opted for the single rear wheels, new 6.7 cummins is an animal. Smooth ride for a 1 ton truck. Nav with 6 disc changer and infinity speakers, bucket seats, 6 speed auto. Traded GMC 2500 and this truck rides ten times better. 16000 pound towing and I still get 18 - 20 mpg on the highway.

Favorite Features

Navigation, engine, exhaust, brakes, 6 speed auto with autostick and tow haul, bucket seats, 6.7 big daddy cummins diesel

Suggested Improvements

For a truck with 16500 pound towing capacity, Dodge needs to offer a class 5 tow hitch and electronic brake controller. the class 4 (10000 pound) hitch has the bumper brackets integrated in the hitch which means you must mount your class 5 hitch underneath the stock hitch.

Review

I traded in a 1997 Chevy 3500 Dually for this truck, what a difference. This truck has better fuel mileage, better power, and of course better looks. I'm 6'3" and have no problem sitting in the back seat that reclines.

Favorite Features

Huge backseat, power

Suggested Improvements

Seating that's more comfortable

This has been a great truck. The 2nd one I have owned. The only concern I have is the transfer to ULSD from the diesel we now use.
