Great truck, bad dealer & ball joints
I love the truck, in spite of the fact that 15mpg isn't obtainable if you drive 75% on Interstates. 18mpg on sticker (5.9L) is possibly a simple lie. I took delivery after the dealer did a "safety inspection" and found all 4 ball joints had deteriorated leaving the joints open to sand and dirt incursion. In addition, all four tires were abraded near the inside bead due to the 245/85R16 tires being too large for the truck ($800+). The ball joints need a recall and replacement with joints that can be lubricated (figure on $900+). I have a bad back but the truck is a great ride! The front seat is comfortable althought I will probably replace the bench with buckets.
Good Truck
I have had my Ram for exactly one year and the only problem I have had is the drivers side map light stop working and the switch had to be replaced.It is roomy,comfortable and has a great ride. Plenty of power but hard on fuel but what do you expect? It's a truck.
Dash Crackin Good
Only brand new vehicle ever bought. Like the looks, power, and feel. Gas mileage was disappointing. 13-19 advertised, most I ever got on a long trip has been 15. Most of the time it's 12-14. Water pumps went out, and transmission will not shift into first on its own. Someone that didn't pay attention would have probably burnt the transmission up by now. Shifts fine by manually shifting the automatic transmission. 71,000 miles and dash board has craters in it.
very nice
i love this truck...it's very nice..it catches a lot of attention with its sport and off road packages and its sound...i wash it 2 times a month and still don't let people eat in it...i will be getting the 2009 dodge ram when it comes out, i will ALWAYS buy dodges (i hate chevy and toyota) even if they go out of business. has a lot more power then the 2003 toyota tundra...love this truck
Dodge trucks are great, dealerships suck
I have 1500 with a 360. Pretty peppy, but I made some modifications. All around, it's a great truck. Roomy with driving comfort. It rides better then most cars. Owned a Dodge truck since 1998... never had a problem. Change the tranny oil every 20,000 miles and it seems to be fine.
