Tough Truck
I love this truck. This one of the best truck I have ever seen, I put around 55000 on the truck since I bought it and I drive it really hard and not one problem. Replaced the water pump when it leaked. I can haul 2000 pounds of stuff in the back and the truck pulls great. I have the Off- Road Pac, and the truck will out drive any but the most lifted of chevys and ford which usually get broke down anyways. My only problem is the gas mileage with the 5.9 and 4.10 gears is awful. I am luck to get 14 on the highway but then I don't have to pay to keep the truck running other than that.
Don't buy one
cannot stop the truck from pulling to the right. Tried everything. Dealer tried to say it was road slant until I drove them on the other side of the road. In shop 4 times before trans. noise could be identified and fixed. 11mpg on highway, 6mpg pulling 2800lb. boat. Terrible mileage. Service sucks.
Dodge is leading the pack now
For the first 15 years in this business I wouldn't even consider anything but a Chevy. But for the past few years GM keeps raising prices and dropping quality. So I bought a RAM on a whim. Excellent truck. The only problem I had was tranny blew at 15,000 miles. Dodge replaced it and now I have 62,000 miles with no problems at all. I added an aux trans cooler for insurance. But this new trans has almost 50,000 miles pulling loads from 1,000 - 5,000 lbs everyday. Many times in 4WD. This truck is everybit as dependable as any Chevy I ever had. But it cost a lot less.
I'll not buy another Ford or Chevy!
Not in a million years would I have guessed my Dodge Ram 1500 would be such a pleasure to own and drive.
So, is this the new bluesmoblile or what
Sharp looking truck with the sport option. The grill that is the same color as the truck. Love the room in the front seats. I'm satisified with truck and service at dealer.
