Overall, very satisfied. Have done little more than change oil, basic maintenance. Only "major" issue so far has been water pump at $200. Does have a few irritating squeaks, but overall has been a good, reliable vehicle. Car seat in back holds young kids well, but back seat room and comfort rate a 1. Gets 17.7 mpg highway (to-from work), so not bad. Excellent front seat comfort for big people (I'm 6'4"). I'm not keen on the maintenance schedule (manual states to change plugs/wires every 30K). I did have to pay $500 to have this done ... no way a homeowner could change these without major difficulty, and it should be a simple thing to do. Air filter change could be made easier too.

I have previously owned 3 ford trucks. Out of all 3, none has had any major work before 120,000 miles. And then did I mess up and buy a dodge. It is not comfortable, it has a continuous noise in the steering, I have replaced a clockspring under warrenty, went Christmas shopping and suddenly needed a oil pump, I have my dodge serviced on a regular basis. I bought the dodge for its looks. Looks can be decieving!!!!!!

Though I have a gas guzzling 360 motor that is not very practical for long trips, the power is definately there when I pull my 24 camper up hills. I bought this vehicle to get me back to the campsite, whether camping, fishing, or hunting and I have had no problem completing the task. I enjoy my truck and have no compaints. The only issue I have seen is that the suspension is a little ruff and the truck gets really squirrelly on rigid dirt roads which is to be expected.

Truck has been virtually trouble free for 32,000 miles (I'm on the 3rd driver's side master power window/door lock switch). Driver's side shock absorber bolt loosened once. Upgraded to 17" rims and Bridgestone Dueler/AT Revo tires and much happier. Gas mpg is 10 mpg in winter using 4wd and 18 mpg using 2wd on interstate(acceptible for V-8 truck).

My 01 Ram

I purchased this 01 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4wd with the 360 back in January. So far it has been a pretty good truck. The brakes have started squeeking slightly so need to be replaced but that happens with any vehicle. The other problem I have had is the dash has started cracking which is a common problem and just kind of annoys me. The chrome grill has also started bubbling but not very noticable unless up close. That's the bad now for the good. I love the truck it's pretty powerful and fun to drive. Rides pretty good especially since mines lifted and mud tires. It does great offroad while looking great. The interior is comfortable and the 360 has plenty of power to haul you around town.
