Used 2002 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 4dr Quad Cab ST 2WD SB (4.7L 8cyl 5M) Consumer Reviews
02 Ram SLT Quad review
I purchased this truck new after trading in a 98 Quad cab. Excellent design...give a few flaws that were corrected later. Great ride and reliability. Mirrors had always been a sore spot for me with Dodge vehicles, the tow mirrors are a plus. Very minimal maintenance in four years. The 4.7 litre engine is great, but not a big improvement in mileage over the hemi.
the rotors will warp!!!!
found out it's made in mexico. oh noooo. but the truck is great only a little jittery over rough surfaces. also i need to warn others of the rotors, they will warp. your first roadtrip and it will happen. go to dodge truck world.com and look under forums and brakes. warping rotors have 4 pages. plus this defect is only covered for 12 months or 12000 miles. after that, the local dealer for me chages 100 bucks to turn rotors.no aftermarket company makes em yet, so be forewarned.but other than that i love my truck. i have a 2002 qc with the 17 inch alloy option wheels
Great truck
This has been an excellent truck. Problems: Computer crashed at about 3000 miles and everything in the truck stopped working. Took the dealer 4 days to get another computer installed. Got the high end infinity sound system that is horrible and a real waste of money. Gas milage 12 in town 17 highway---not good for a 2-wheel drive and a driver that tries hard to get good MPG out of their vehicle.
Ram Needs Gas Again
The ride and looks of this truck are good, especially with the sport package and 20" wheels. Lowered mine 2" front, 4" back. Really makes it stand out. The 5.9L lacks in power and performance. It is a gas hog! 10/City 13/HWG with 2 wheel drive. It's been back to the dealer 7 times for emmission system problems and an entire new front steering rack. Not overly impressed with Dodge trucks mainly due to gas mileage. This was my first & last one. Can't wait to get back to GMC
Outstanding Truck
I've driven/owned Ford, Chevy, and now Dodge. This Ram is the best overall by far. No mechanical problems, drives like a dream. The Dodge folks really put some thought into this. Biggest difference: Dodge has more interior room, no mechanical problems, and the layout was well thought out.
