10MPG in the winter is the ONLY flaw with this truck. Power, comfort, ground clearance, looks it's all there- -it just guzzles gas. Want economy? Put a Toyota Prius in the back! Oh yea . . . big tires like this wear out in 30K miles. Pay the money, drive the truck. Look DOWN on Ford and Chevy trucks.
Dodge trucks are great, dealerships suck

I have 1500 with a 360. Pretty peppy, but I made some modifications. All around, it's a great truck. Roomy with driving comfort. It rides better then most cars. Owned a Dodge truck since 1998... never had a problem. Change the tranny oil every 20,000 miles and it seems to be fine.

I purchased this truck because it had a lot of interior room but I was warned by co-workers not to purchase a Dodge and I should of listened. The truck is falling apart inside, dashboard has many cracks in it, cd player does not work, a/c has been replaced 6 times... Etc... Dodge will not own up to these issues and there are many complaints about the dashboard issue which makes airbag deployment a real safety issue if it were to deploy... All that cracked plastic would fly like shards of Glass
Good-ish old truck, hard to kill if you can wrench

Bought it in '07 with the gettag tranny going out swapped in a NV4500 and beat the tar out of it for 6mos. Spent a year overseas came back and blew up the t case (abused purely my fault) the had a drive line explode on the 93 near wikieup(old age and abuse). Drove her hard another year and blew up the rear diff and cracked the bell housing(again abuse) the at 120K FINALLY had to change the clutch out. The dashboard turned into Frito chips somewhere along the way and got swapped. (TLDR): I worked very hard to kill this truck and she is still making 60mi round trips on the highway, we all bought these after seeing Twister and treated our one truck like the 4 they used to make the move...lol

I've always been an avid Mopar lover. However, this truck has been in the shop more than any vehicle I've ever owned. When it behaves, it's a great performer... unfortunatly, that's a rare thing. The idle is lousy and seaks up and down. If you try to drive it within 5 minutes of starting it, it will stall. The transmission has been rebuilt and is going bad AGAIN. Now, the 4-wheel unit is starting to hum.

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.
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.,
OK, until warranty expires.

A comfortable truck, with OK performance, horrible mileage. Now that the warranty is about to expire, things have started to go wrong. The dealership has been worthless (they haven't corrected ONE problem that I have had). The truck sputters and moans when the motor is cold. Transmission is starting to slip. Also a popping noise in the front end when turning. I am trading it off. Too bad, as I really enjoy driving it.
Don't buy one

cannot stop the truck from pulling to the right. Tried everything. Dealer tried to say it was road slant until I drove them on the other side of the road. In shop 4 times before trans. noise could be identified and fixed. 11mpg on highway, 6mpg pulling 2800lb. boat. Terrible mileage. Service sucks.
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!
Awsome Truck!!!

I have owned many Dodges over the years, but this one has had the worst repair frequency record ever!! It has the 4 Wheel Anti-Lock Brakes, and they just DO NOT STOP THE TRUCK. It has been back to the dealer at least 9 times for repair. I finally had someone else bypass the ABS for the front wheels, and now it works fine. But, this is not a true fix. I guess the only way to get anyone to fix it right is to have a serious enough accident. The only other bad thing with this vechile is that it gets VERY poor fuel mileage... The sticker says 12, but I usually get only 8. Dealer says that this is normal also... My advise, buy a Japanees truck.

Nicely styled truck with good size and looks. I drive mostly on road with occasional off road jaunts. I've owned this for over a year and for the most part have been satisfied with it but it does have it's drawbacks being a seven year old design based on the time I bought it.

For the first 15 years in this business I wouldn't even consider anything but a Chevy. But for the past few years GM keeps raising prices and dropping quality. So I bought a RAM on a whim. Excellent truck. The only problem I had was tranny blew at 15,000 miles. Dodge replaced it and now I have 62,000 miles with no problems at all. I added an aux trans cooler for insurance. But this new trans has almost 50,000 miles pulling loads from 1,000 - 5,000 lbs everyday. Many times in 4WD. This truck is everybit as dependable as any Chevy I ever had. But it cost a lot less.
I'll not buy another Ford or Chevy!

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.

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)

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.

I have 34000 miles on my 4by4 slt with the 5.9 in it.Most impressed by its offroad prowess.I remember the first winter i had it.It snowed 17 inches in 1 day,and on a small residential road leading to a recreation area,only half was plowed.The other half had a good 2 ft of snow.Anyways,i drove right thru the 2 ft of snow like a hot knife thru butter.No problems to date.One minor irritation.It has a slight pull to the right.Could be a design flaw,as numerous accounts of this occurance,and no remedy that i know of.

The truck ran good until I hit the 28,000 mile mark where I started to run into engine problems. Looking on www.alldata.com, a internet resource that shows common errors with all makes and models, I found the symptoms I was experiencing. The dealership updated my computer and repaired a couple things. Since then I have been bringing it back just about every month. The lastest trouble was when I was running at 60 and the truck just cut out. The truck only has 34,000 milies on it what kind of build quality is that?

I love this truck. This one of the best truck I have ever seen, I put around 55000 on the truck since I bought it and I drive it really hard and not one problem. Replaced the water pump when it leaked. I can haul 2000 pounds of stuff in the back and the truck pulls great. I have the Off- Road Pac, and the truck will out drive any but the most lifted of chevys and ford which usually get broke down anyways. My only problem is the gas mileage with the 5.9 and 4.10 gears is awful. I am luck to get 14 on the highway but then I don't have to pay to keep the truck running other than that.
So, is this the new bluesmoblile or what

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 .

ok, i used to hate dodge not ever owning one just because all of my friends bashed them.(even though theyve never owned one) but this has been used almost 12 years constantly with 22,000 miles on it and have not had 1 problem. not 1 repair. yet my friends ford F-250 being such an awesome truck as he would say has CONSTANTLY been broken just recently having $1,200 in repair. Only 1 year, 1 month into the purchase. This is an awesome truck and for the people that complain about gas mileage...BUY A HONDA!! of course a V-8 truck will be low on gas mileage!

Love the truck. It has some nagging flaws. Had Aamco do 30k mi. trans service (4-spd auto), and brass filings were in the pan. The manager said it was the second worst tranny on the road. Had to replace both towing mirrors by 28k miles. Have 46k now and new ones good so far. Love the roominess, but at 6'5" I need more headroom. Don't like the flexing noise in the quad cab doors on bumpy roads. Has lots of power, but not as much as a 360 should have. Chevy 350 seems stronger. Tows 100 hay bales on BP trailer with brake controller fine. BC should be standard with tow package. I like the solid front axle instead of independent suspension.

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.

I have had this truck for just over a year. I have never had such a cheaply built vehicle. More interior noise than any car I have ever had. Fuel economy is now where near what the sticker says.
