Fit to Customize
When I purchased my Ram 1500ST in Aug of 2001 it looked like any other truck made for fleet sale, plain. But I have to say, that if you are looking for a truck that is rarely customized the pre- 2002 Dodge Rams are the way to go! After a lift kit, wheels, sound system, and various other parts. I now have a one-of-a-kind truck, a real head turner! Just make sure you have the budget for a gas guzzler (about $49/wk)
Awsome Truck!!!
I love this pickup. Its a beatiful powerful machine. You'll pay for the beauty and power when you stop at the gas station.
Mixed feelings
Good truck overall. Dodge needs to put a better transmission in this full sized truck. Just replaced for the second time at 121,000 miles. Terrible gas mileage of 13.5 city, 15.5 highway.
Disapointment
I've always been an avid Mopar lover. However, this truck has been in the shop more than any vehicle I've ever owned. When it behaves, it's a great performer... unfortunatly, that's a rare thing. The idle is lousy and seaks up and down. If you try to drive it within 5 minutes of starting it, it will stall. The transmission has been rebuilt and is going bad AGAIN. Now, the 4-wheel unit is starting to hum.
RAM TOUGH, Not Really!!!
I have owned many Dodges over the years, but this one has had the worst repair frequency record ever!! It has the 4 Wheel Anti-Lock Brakes, and they just DO NOT STOP THE TRUCK. It has been back to the dealer at least 9 times for repair. I finally had someone else bypass the ABS for the front wheels, and now it works fine. But, this is not a true fix. I guess the only way to get anyone to fix it right is to have a serious enough accident. The only other bad thing with this vechile is that it gets VERY poor fuel mileage... The sticker says 12, but I usually get only 8. Dealer says that this is normal also... My advise, buy a Japanees truck.
