Good solid truck
The new Dodge Ram 1500 truck is a very solid truck. Most trucks in it's class do not match the stock height of the Ram 1500 4 X 4. I love the interrior of this truck. A few months ago I moved and the rear cargo area of the truck came in very handy because of the extra space in the back. She steel floor is great when folded down. This creats a flat surface, this way things are level and safe. Also if the rear passengers are over 6 feet long they have plenty of leg room in the back which Chevy,GMC and Ford do not have.
Will dodge Dodge now
Almost immediately after the initial 3/36 warranty was up the dash cracked. Im not talking a small crack the dash looks like a mine field and is actually now in about 6 pieces. No problem since I purchased the 10 year/100K warranty. When I took the truck in I was told the dash is not covered since trim is not covered. (I dont feel the entire dash is trim). I was also told by the service manager that this is a problem they have never seen before, but they would see what they could do to help. The help turned out to be replace the dash with me paying for the parts at $600 each for the two parts! So I contacted Dodge and asked what could be done I googled Dodge truck dash cracks

Comfort...NOT economical
The ride and comfort of this truck is better than other trucks in its class. The gas milage is the WORST in its class though. I would not recommend this truck simply because of the cost for gas it cost to operate. I would be willing to sacrifice a little comfort for better MPG with a different manufacture.
Need more Horsepower ?
Outstanding Look's, feel and ride. However, in the performance of the 5.9 it's down on get-up. Matched with poor fuel economy this will be the only down fall of this truck. I was a long term GM Truck customer. I miss the power and economy of the Vortec V-8. In my opinion GM,Ford cannot compete with this Dodge look!!
awesome!
this is one bad a** truck! inside, its a luxury car, outside, its big-rig styling that says "get the hell out of my way!" all in all, its an excellent vehicle in terms of reliability, overall design and build quality. wish they'd put the Hemi in soon though!
