Used 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Consumer Reviews
Dashboard Woes
I bought my 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4X4 brand new in January 2001. I hadn't had any problems with it at all until about two years ago when the dashboard started with one small crack. Now the entire dashboard looks like a jigsaw puzzle. And, Dodge hasn't done a recall on the dashboards? I'm disappointed. As much as I love my truck, I'm seriously considering trading it in on anything in which the manufacturer will stand behind the product.
Slow but steady
This is a decent truck. It's great for a kid's first vehicle because it doesn't have much get-up-and-go power. It's a fairly slow vehicle that is good if you are just hauling lumber or a 4-wheeler around. It won't work if you want to pull a load of any real size or jump out into traffic without endangering yourself. Given the choice, I wouldn't buy another Dodge with a V-6. Chevy's V-6 is a fairly strong engine, but Dodge failed miserably in that dept.
GREAT TRUCK
In the past I would drive a vehicle for 2-3 years, get sick of it and move on to a new one. I'm going to keep my Dodge Ram for as long as it keeps running!!
A nice Dodge Ram
This truck is better than my last two trucks which were both Fords . It has more wheel hop durring tight turns while in 4 wheel drive than my other 4 x4's , 2 Fords and a GMC .The others had shorter wheel bases which may be the reason .
