Used 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Consumer Reviews
Got the HEMI
Edmunds needs to update the choices for engines, I have a 1500 QC Hemi and love it. I purchsed it with the sport appearance package and it looks the part of a BA truck. So far I have put a little over 3000 miles on it and it seems to be breaking in well. The ride is great, it handles like a car and sits very high with the 265's on it. I installed nerf bars, bed liner and a K&N filter so far and plan to put a Flowmaster system on it to increase the rumble. I would suggest the Hemi for more power over the other engine choices, my mileage is up to 17 on the highway and drops to 12 in the city, unless I start driving like a teenager wwhich happens regularly.
My mini Winnebego
I have been driving my 2003 now for a year. I have 25,000 miles on it now, most of it driving back and forth from California to Florida pulling a boat or trailer. It is very comfortable and has plenty of power for my needs. I would recommend this truck to anyone who is looking for one over the F-150. After 25,000 miles, it is still quiet inside without any rattles or creaks which is my biggest pet peave. the 2001 and prior models had way too many rattles and creaks from the doors and interior which they have completely corrected with the 2002+ model. My truck is a 5 speed manual trans and I would definately buy another Ram but with an automatic.

Lots of room, great price for the truck, fun to drive. I like it!
Hemi Ram
This Hemi motor is a blast. But fuel econimy in the city is bad. Highway milage is good at speeds under 60mph.
Like it so far
Since there are only 2 reviews, and the average is 4.3 or something, figured I'd chime in. I agree, the engine feels a little wussy for what they say it is. For the gas it eats, I want to take off from the red light... of course, thats more my shifting than anything else, given I got the manual transmission. Love the looks. Feels solid, handles very well. The brakes are amazing. Like it so far. As for the 'no leg room' in the back... you sure you got a quad cab? I'm 6'1" and I have plenty of leg room in the back seat.
