Ram 1500
Great truck, already my second Ram purchase will buy again
Dodge this...
All though I don't have a ton of miles on the truck, it's more fun than a pile of puppies to drive. Gas mileage isn't spectacular but it'll get the job done. Nice pulling capabilities, good ride, and lots of fun gadgets on this model. No real problems to speak of. I had the dealer go through it before the warranty ran out and take care of a couple of minor problems. Additions like cold air intake and catback are nice and help the HP/mileage a little.
Could it be WHERE it's built?
I have experienced some of the complaints, but drive it so little that I have not really had time to give a "lemon" evaluation. I "think" the tranny may have some problems, the blower on the AC/Htr seems to whir oddly, and the pulling many of us notice was brushed aside as, .."most of them do"(by dealer service dept) As opinions seem split...I would bet it has to do with with whether the vehicle was built in MICH or the other factory (where mine was built). I have had Dodge trucks since 1981...this may be the last, although I may consider a 2500 (why does it have a 9-PLUS rating?). Am going to check it out right now!
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)
