I post this review mainly to warn anyone thinking of purchasing a used 1994-2001 Ram 1500 4x4. Purchased new in 08/01. The first sign of things to come was when a stranger approached me and started a conversation with "So, have you ever had any trouble with your transmission?" The list of problems are water pump(bearing), transmission(rebuild at 70k and 95k after all req. service and no off road and towing 2x), "death wobble" (very nasty, do internet search), int. map light, and "Humpty Dumpty" dash. I call it that 'cause Dodge couldn't or wouldn't put it together again. Some of these complaints are highly reported on the internet. It is my first and last Dodge.

Purchased or 2001 Dodge with only 26,000 miles on it and purchase Dodges "Platanuim" extended warrenty coverage for extra $1900 cost. The best they offered. Within the first year cracks began forming on dash. Took for warrenty but turns out Dodge purposally excluded interior because they used poor quality plastics for years 1999-2003! They tried to tell us is was due to sun exposure...even though truck stays under cover! Has only 52,000 miles on it. Runs like new and looks like new until you look inside. Whole dash is gone! As is the glovebox and all the overhead added storage details! Cheaply made and then won't stand behind it. Trading for a Ford!

My husband purchased this truck for me in 2002 as an anniversary present, it is the best gift he has ever purchased for me! It is now 2014 and I now have 220,000 + miles on it. It is by far the best vehicle we have ever owned! The v8 has plenty of power, fun to drive, reliable, roomy and comfortable. We replaced the transmission at about 120,000 and have put a radiator on it but that is it. Great truck! I can not say enough good things about it. I truly love my truck! It has kept me safe when was hit in the side on 3 different occasions and then on the 4th when a drunk driver hit me. I feel safe it this truck. I praise God 1st and foremost but I am thankful for the quality the truck

I have had my 2001 Dodge Ram 4x4 quad cab since it has 2 miles on it and it has about 110000 on it now. I love the looks. At 6'7" I love the room and height. Now lets get to the rest. Since I bought it I have replaced the rear end twice. U joints twice. New brakes three times. A brake line broke ( rust) so suddenly that I went to a store with brakes and when I left I had NO brakes. They went to the floor. Replace shocks twice. A/c compressor. I keep it very clean and it still is rusting on the bottom rails. Window fits are terrible ( air noise). I have over serviced this vehicle as far as required maintenance. The cd player went out at 55000 miles and now I have to get a new radio. The engine has held up ok ( knock on wood). All this that has happened is due to poor parts being used by Dodge and low quality craftsmenship. They keep saying Ram tough on TV. I say. Ram is not tough at all. Then they ask why does Toyota and the other foreign models do so well. They make cars that stand up. Dodge makes them good enough to just get you out the door.

The first review I wrote about this RAM was pretty positive. But now I've had the truck 2 years and 80,000 miles. I just had to do another major transmission reowrk. The torque converter failed. After this round I seriously doubt I would ever consider another Dodge. The 46RE transmission is not only JUNK but there should be a class action suite against Dodge. This is the sorriest excuse for a transmission I've encountered in 25 years of driving.

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...

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.

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.

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...

This is an awesome truck. I have put over 90,000 miles on it since I bought it in 04. The Tranny just went out thanks to the Tq Converter at 166,000. Really good for this crappy tranny. I currently have a friend not just rebuilding it but doing it all the way. Everyone who has Tranny problems replace your tq converter with your tranny. I hate the dash. My water pump died at 100.000 and my right front hub bearing went at 100,000. But after all that I love this truck. I have driven it across this country 4 times and about to again. Very comfortable, plenty of power. Tows well past its rating and still hooks even with a bad tq converter. Again awesome truck. I will be driving it for along time.
Very good truck

This has been a very good truck for the time that I have owned it, the only problems that I have had with it is the O2 sensor and spark plug wires, which is basically just regular parts that are going to need to be changed eventually. This truck has got plenty of power with the 5.9L v8. The truck sits high for a stock truck, when I pull up to the other competitor trucks and they have the 2500 or 3500, or 250, 350, etc. I am usually the same height or a little bit higher, which makes the truck seem a lot bigger for the model. I would buy this truck again, no questions asked.

So far I have had no problems with my truck. It came with nice aftermarket wheels and its looks good. I will have to say that the 5.9 does not have the best MPG but it can pull my trailer with no problem. Love the room in the engine area. I was able to change/get to the plugs with no problem. Hope to get some good years out of this truck
i wanted to love this truck, BUT........

truck has had over $7,000 warranty work...poor build at the factory?? who knows...has been out of commission over 55 days during 4-yr lease. i dream of the day i trade this truck in!! i wanted to love this big bad-assed truck - we put dual exhaust, awesome sound system, color matched spray in bed liner, huge tires, etc. but the gist is: this truck sucks. dodge dealerships suck more - never once were we treated with dignity & we went to 3 different locations praying for good repair work.

I love the look of the Dodge Ram, however, that's as much praise as I can give it. In the 2 years I've owned it, I've had it in the shop 7 times. Problems have included the driveshaft, A.C., rims, torque converter and transmission. I may be in the minority but I've spoken to enough Ram owners to know that I'm not the only one to regret walking into a Dodge dealership.
Must be a great truck still!

I owned a 2001 dodge ram 1500 for about a year and had to sell it. I am actually in the process of buying another. I was very happy when I had mine. It had plenty of power,drove great and was very comfortable. I did have a bad taste about the gas but who doesn't. I am just surprised that this rating is so low for this vehicle. I mean if gas and a CRACKED DASHBOARD is all there is to complain about? I mean I didn't know the dash had an effect on drivability. Just get a cover like I did.

Outstanding drivetrain, comfortable ride. It is used for work truck. Found after purchase, the boots on the "lifetime" front upper and lower bearings were all cracked and the tires were rubbing the steering because they were oversized.

Good truck, except for the cracked dash. Changed the thermostat to a colder one, get about 19 mpg hwy, and colder plugs (they like it cold) found that info on bionicdodge (all Dodge people), great place for info. Change the exhaust to dual pipes. Had a trans problem not long after I purchased, under warranty. I guess the owner before me did not know how to drive it (city owner).Now have 112,000+ miles on it, runs great! Love the cab space.

An excellent truck. Not the first first truck I've ever driven, but the first one I've owned. The ride is above any other truck on the market. I often have chevy and ford owners riding with me that comment on how much smoother the ride is in my truck.

Great truck to drive. I basically use it to hunt and pull my boat. Plenty of power, just wish that it got better gas mileage. I had removed the muffler and run straight pipes and the mileage went from 8-10 to 12-15mpg. With 50k it looks and drives great! Pulls a 18ft tyee with no problem.

I bought this truck after owning a Chevy 4x4 extended cab with the 5.7 engine. I absolutely love this Dodge but hate the fact that it gets worse fuel mileage than my 92 Chevy 4x4 got. The only other complaint is that if I don't use at least 89 octane fuel it knocks like a bunch of bolts in a coffee can.

I bought my Dodge Ram with the 5.2L engine and I've had no problems. It tows a camper well and I haven't found anything it can't haul. The gas mileage stinks but I knew that before I bought it. It's been a reliable truck that is a pleasure to drive as long as there's a gas station nearby.

For the price of my doge as compared to a ford, I am verry happy with the performance and comfort, just remember, as with all vehicals you might get a lemon, it happens with all makes (ford gmc... ect...) it is your job to make sure its is not before you buy. Dodge Ram is a nice truck and the 5.9l has bucoo's of power and torqe. A+++++++

I have had no problems with this truck of any kind. Owned it for two years. The interior is really comfortable for long drives. Fits both car seats in the back and tows anything I put on the back of it. Of course mileage is bad but most trucks do not get good mileage. If you want good mileage go buy a Metro and park the truck. My truck has the 5.2L.
Nothing but RAM from here on....

I'm in a tough business. Oilfield. I put about 40,000 miles on a truck each year. I've tried every thing...Ford, Chevy, imports. Used to be a born again Chevy man. But Chevy has really sucked the last few years so I switched. I'll never look back. Dodge has really turned out an excellent product. This truck stomps any GM I ever had. I have 65,000 on it now and still is tight. Most of that is rough dirt and lease roads. This thing is a TANK.
needs brakes, oil pump,clockspring, nois

I have previously owned 3 ford trucks. Out of all 3, none has had any major work before 120,000 miles. And then did I mess up and buy a dodge. It is not comfortable, it has a continuous noise in the steering, I have replaced a clockspring under warrenty, went Christmas shopping and suddenly needed a oil pump, I have my dodge serviced on a regular basis. I bought the dodge for its looks. Looks can be decieving!!!!!!

I drove to work no problem.my only complaint tranny noise @5,000 miles. I took it to the dealer they said its normal they need to fix the problem.Just because most trucks do it dosen't make it normal.Dealers need to care more about customers. All dealers Gm Ford ect.

Overall style is great and when the truck is clean, it gets all kinds of comments, not bad for a out of date body style. Seems to have a high step in for half ton two wheel drive, higher than old 88 3/4 ton chevy 4x4. Love the extended cab, will never go back to regular cab. Car seats works great in the middle of back seat and allows for easy reach to the little one. So far, its been mostly trouble free driving, change the oil, add gas, gas, gas... 5.2 needs to be able to breath more than it does, feels a little on the weak side for the weight of the truck. Maybe that would help with the gas milage. But it is a truck after all.

Though I have a gas guzzling 360 motor that is not very practical for long trips, the power is definately there when I pull my 24 camper up hills. I bought this vehicle to get me back to the campsite, whether camping, fishing, or hunting and I have had no problem completing the task. I enjoy my truck and have no compaints. The only issue I have seen is that the suspension is a little ruff and the truck gets really squirrelly on rigid dirt roads which is to be expected.
I love it, but beware!

I bought the Dodge 1500 Ram SLT Laramie in March 01. No problems until this year Feb 04, with 1 month left to go on the waranty and 28500 miles the trans began to slip. The truck was tied up for two weeks at the dealer before they finally agreed to repair it. The front tires wear on the outside even though i rotate every 3000 miles and had the front end adjusted at 12000 and 20000 miles. The front wheel bearings will be next I guess.

Very happy with this truck. The ride and handling are great. The styling is excellent (better than the new ones). Overall size and function are just what I wanted. Not impressed by the gas mileage, but it is as good as Ford or Chevy at least. It seems well put together, no squeaks or rattles. Nothing falling off, no minor glitches. I had a 1997 just like this one and it was also fun to drive, trouble free and gave me no reason not to buy this one, I only switched to get one with lower miles and the newer sport styling

my wife loved the looks and sound, but I found the 5.2l underpowered and the trans a joke. one of the most comfortable trucks on the road, but it labored badly with just my 16 ft boat at 60mph. my 02 Chevy doesn't know it's there with the 4.8l

I fell in love with the sound and look of this truck. That's the only good thing about this truck. It's had a new transmission ,which still does not shift right. Replaced the power steering pump, it just cut off the other day going down the road. The heated seats no longer work. The truck will just crank up sitting in the yard with no key or anybody in it. The dealer told me to call ghost busters. I would of thought it would of pulled better than this. My dad's F-150, with a 4.6L, will out pull and out run this. I have a K&N air filter and still get about 10 to 11mpg hwy. If you put an empty trailer behind it it drops to about 8mpg. The truck's interior is real comfy. I will never buy a Dodge again.

My second RAM (first was a '97) I was hesitant to go with another RAM but fell in love with this 2001 on first site. BAD MISTAKE. Even more problems with this vehicle than the first. In the shop 7 times in the first 4 months. Electrical Problems, VERY poor mileage and I drive mostly highway with little stop and go and rarely over 65. 11-12mpg at best even with a K&N filter. OFF-Road Package bites. Truck creaks, rattles, vibrates. About to replace front bearings AGAIN. Tires are ~215/ea to replace (17") BEWARE
Good overall value

Overall, very satisfied. Have done little more than change oil, basic maintenance. Only "major" issue so far has been water pump at $200. Does have a few irritating squeaks, but overall has been a good, reliable vehicle. Car seat in back holds young kids well, but back seat room and comfort rate a 1. Gets 17.7 mpg highway (to-from work), so not bad. Excellent front seat comfort for big people (I'm 6'4"). I'm not keen on the maintenance schedule (manual states to change plugs/wires every 30K). I did have to pay $500 to have this done ... no way a homeowner could change these without major difficulty, and it should be a simple thing to do. Air filter change could be made easier too.

I love the truck, in spite of the fact that 15mpg isn't obtainable if you drive 75% on Interstates. 18mpg on sticker (5.9L) is possibly a simple lie. I took delivery after the dealer did a "safety inspection" and found all 4 ball joints had deteriorated leaving the joints open to sand and dirt incursion. In addition, all four tires were abraded near the inside bead due to the 245/85R16 tires being too large for the truck ($800+). The ball joints need a recall and replacement with joints that can be lubricated (figure on $900+). I have a bad back but the truck is a great ride! The front seat is comfortable althought I will probably replace the bench with buckets.

I bought this used and from day one put it to work and has done everthing I've wanted it to do from loads to pulling. The suspension is great. I can load the bed and does not sag. The harder I work it the more it wants. A couple of things though. I only get about 10-12 mph maybe 14 tops. I notice there is a delay or no resposne when most times when gas is pushed (at a cruise speed)until you get down on it little. Tried everything to correct this don't know if design or a problem. Overall very satisfied.

Overall experience has been outstanding !! I'm impressed by the ride and the tightness of the truck. I recently had to pull a trailer 1000 miles and I didn't even feel it except in the mountains of TN.

I would have preferred the smaller V8 engine, but to get leather interior and all the upgrades, the only one avail was the 5.7 V8. Two issues have developed, one there is a 'creak' in the suspension that evades remedy and a transmission power module failed that took three visits to the dealer to find. It was repaired under warrantee. No other issues.

I purchased this 01 Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4wd with the 360 back in January. So far it has been a pretty good truck. The brakes have started squeeking slightly so need to be replaced but that happens with any vehicle. The other problem I have had is the dash has started cracking which is a common problem and just kind of annoys me. The chrome grill has also started bubbling but not very noticable unless up close. That's the bad now for the good. I love the truck it's pretty powerful and fun to drive. Rides pretty good especially since mines lifted and mud tires. It does great offroad while looking great. The interior is comfortable and the 360 has plenty of power to haul you around town.

Since purchase no problems at all. Gas mileage good (probably due to manual trans) Does everything it is supposed to do. No frills st model only way to go. $8,000 less than slt, and less to potentially go wrong. 4wd works great in all type of conditions.
NOT BAD

I have owned this truck for two years now and so far no problems. I have the 5.9 and it gives me the power i need to pull my trailer. The only downside is the gas milage is 14-17 and maybe 12 when pulling my trailer.
Good Truck

I have had my Ram for exactly one year and the only problem I have had is the drivers side map light stop working and the switch had to be replaced.It is roomy,comfortable and has a great ride. Plenty of power but hard on fuel but what do you expect? It's a truck.
Great Truck

It is a fine truck. Capable of towing, hauling, and looking good around town. It's big....and those who like big vehicles will not be disappointed. Get a cold-air induction kit and some flowmasters, and the "underpowered" 5.9 will eat up the road.
