Bought this truck new, now has 144000 miles on it. Very good gas mileage for a large truck - 16 to 19 on the highway depending on the wind. Had to replace the front brake calipers & pads @ 100K - this is a dodge design defect where the calipers hang up and ruin the pads. this is the second Dodge truck I've owned, and both suffered upholstery tears due to sharp edges from the seat frame cutting through the foam padding and through the fabric. If buying a 2WD, get the limited slip differential - it gets you through snow and up slippery boat ramps great. Great truck, but poor interior quality needs to have some attention from the Dodge engineers. Otherwise, buy it right and enjoy.

So far, so good. This beast handles like a car, has a good turning ability, and has no fish-tailing...even with a long bed !

I switched from a Ford Ranger to the full sized Ram 1500 Quad Cab 4x4. This is one tough truck. The ride is very comfortable and quiet. The interior design is second to none and has a great center console and storage under the rear seat. It also has a clever load floor built under the rear seats that lifts and flatens out for hauling cargo behind the seat.Dodge designed the best interior in it's class if you ask me. I've got the 5.9 liter engine and expected just a little more power from it. However, it still has plenty of power. Fuel economy could be a little better. Sharp exterior design. Best value is the SLT w/17" wheels and 5.9L engine.

I just bought mine last week, used with 10,000 miles on it. I promptly picked it up and headed out on a road trip to Columbus, OH from Watertown, NY. If you havent driven a truck lately, go test drive this thing! The ride was spectacular! I was worried the seats might be too stiff, but after driving for over 7 hours, my fears had no merit. Great cornering, good suspension (its a bit bouncy over some rough highway) and WOW! What an engine! Mine came with the 5.7 Hemi, and its worth every penny as an extra. The exhaust is enough to get your heart pumping! Only negative that I have to say is the transmission. It likes to shift alot.
