Used 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Quad Cab Consumer Reviews
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)

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.,
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.
