Used 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Consumer Reviews
Great Truck
This truck was bought to replace a 1987 Dodge Dakota with 260000+ miles. It has been a great vehicle and is a pleasure to drive. I have had no problems with it at all. This is one of 7 Rams from 1996 to 2003 models in my family and all the rest have been very reliable with no problems.
Solid Truck, Poor Gas Mileage
Doesn't seem as solid as a Chevy or GMC, but a nice truck nonetheless. Minor steering column glitch with the airbag and the overhead sunglass holder are the only problems in 2+ years.
Truck of Atlas
Basically I have had no problems with this truck, I wish the gas milage were better. I had a 1996 Ram 2 door short bed and had a lot of problems with the steering column, but none with this truck. I find this to be comfortable and good looking

5.9L is a gas hog... Nice driver though. Could use a little more pep.
Look out for some Dodge products!
I have the 5.9L V8, and does it drink the gas! Especailly on windy days. I bought it new in June 2001, and all I have had is problems. Drove the truck off the lot with the check engine light on. The dealership said it was possible I had air in the line somewhere. I took it in and the dealership tried to fix it with putting in a new Torque Converter and a Boost Valve. That fixed for a while until about 5000 miles when the Transmission went! Then it was just one thing after another from there! The four wheel drive stopped working, they said it was a leaky hose! Throttle body, steering column etc.,
