Chrysler a one big mistake. Not comming out with the Hemi sooner. After having a 01 ram and towing cars with it, and now towing cars with this hemi. There is no comparison. Drive better in rain, tows with no problems, just need to work on the interior. That only thing that looks and feels cheap. That hemi is the best engine I have used in 20 years. Great job on bring it back.

Extremely Pleased

So far I am extremely impressed with the truck. The regular cab has a LOT of room behind the seats (enough to put a bunch of groceries, or luggage for the wife and I for a trip), very comfortable and supportive seats, and the dash design is simple but attractive. The ride is somewhat stiff, but it's a 4x4. The gas mileage isn't the greatest, but what do you expect for a full size truck like this? Engine power is a tad lower than the basic V8s from the competition, but I will gladly take a 15 or 20 hit in HP to save about $1K, and then get an exhaust system and an intake to compensate. All in all I highly recommend it.

If you see a bad review of this truck better suspect the source as a Ford or Chevy dealer. They got caught with their pants down. I have freinds with the Tahoe and Ford Triton. The Ram is stylish, hemi power beautiful interior and nice ride for a truck. I used to be a Chevy man but this is a crossover vehicle. We're Dodge fans as long as they build this kind of quality. We own a Toyota which is also good quality but not in the same class. No better full size truck after looking for weeks.

What's with the suspension

What is going on with the ghetto cruiser electra 225 bouncy suspension? I feel like the truck goes out of control a bit at highway speeds when you hit a bump and it has a mushy non truck like ride. It needs to be tighter more truck like. I feel I have to watch out and keep two hands on the wheel all the time. Yes, I should have test drove it longer, but it seemed so comfortable the 4-5 miles I test drove it. Oh yeah, can you stand not seeing the end of the hood? The wipers are in the way.
