Used 2001 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Quad Cab Consumer Reviews
Big and Fast
I have the extended cab 5.9L SPORT, I LOVE IT! Itty bitty girl, in a big truck, but hey, it works. I have yet to lose a race =). Flowmasters are a definate must b/c Dodges have a distinct low rumble... yummy. Very roomy in the interior and under the hood, I love working on it. Lacks in rear seat space, pulls to the right, and I have a squeeking noise coming from the front, I just turn up the radio though. Fast for a big heavy truck, and so many extras to put on it. Only thing I hate is the gas mileage. I average 13 mpg. I'm sure racing doesn't help that either though...
Nice Truck
Bought it at 72500 miles for a dependable move from WA to Anchorage AK. It was dependable even with the - 20 temperatures of living there. 14MPG at utmost best towing a 6x12 U-haul all 2400 miles to AK was about 9.5MPG. Replaced a couple u-joints and both front wheel bearings at 105000 miles after we moved back.
Great dependable ride
The V8 is peppy,handling good. Turning radius could be better. Dependable, access to bed and cab good, under hood items easy to see/access. Dual exhaust sounds great, fuel mileage better w/duals. My wife loves this truck and says it is easy for her to operate, she's 5ft tall. Good truck.
My First Truck
I have had this truck just over a year now. So far I have little to complain about. I have not had it in for any service. The only thing I have had to go to the dealer for is a broken overhead-sunglass holder. The ride is great (for a truck), solid feel. The quad cab is great! I have 3 kids and the truck will carry my entire family. with the 3 kids in back. It also has plenty of room to carry stuff in cab. I increased gas mileage about 35 miles a tank full by getting toneau cover. My only complaint, I wish I got 4-wheel drive, winter traction not the greatest.
2001 Dodge Ram Quad Cab 1500
5.9L V-8 4-spd Auto Quad Cab So far, I have had very few problems with the truck... Although the original Passenger rated tires wore to a very noticeable condition after only 29000 miles. So far, no major problems with the engine or powertrain, other than routine maintenance. Tows extremely well, and has plenty more power to give if needed... The only drawback is mileage averages about 12-14 city and highway, and about 8 mpg while towing...
