Room to spare, quiet and smooth running. Plenty of power but eats the gas. No complaints from the teens I have either.

After two great months I am still in awe of this truck, I only have two complaints 1. I wish my wife didnt like to drive it so much, then I wouldnt be driving a minivan to work. and 2. I wish I had gotten the 5.7 HEMI instead of the 4.7 so I could say YES to all the ????

The 4.7L V8 is a very refined, surprisingly peppy engine and he transmisson shifts very nicely. The truck handles like it's on rails. Interior materials are of much hihger quality than their FORD and Chevy counterparts and room and comfort are excellent. The 4WD system is simple and works very well. The Ram is a far superior vehicle to the Silverado 1500 or F150. The relative lack of power is more than offset by just about every other aspect of the vehicle. Also, the 4.7 is not at all weak. It may not work well for towing, but for everyday driving and hauling, it's more than adequate.

Dodge has made a solid and powerful truck. Sharp looks are backed up with a powerful 360 engine. I can't wait for the 1/2 ton with the new Hemi.

Just purchased our first Dodge. We've had 2 GMC's and 1 Ford. GMC was good, don't recommend the Ford. Got the California Express package with the Hemi. What sold us was the body style. Love the way it looks, drives and sounds. Plenty of room and the wife loves the adjustable pedals.
Nice Truck. Good Price

Well, it's got a Hemi, what more can I say. With the Hemi engine, it really moves, whether from a stand-still or passing even at 75 mph. Of course, you can bank on filling the gas tank up at every street corner, but hey, it also tows my 3000 lb. boat like it wasn't even there, so if I was looking for fuel economy I'd buy a gay hybrid car and hug trees. The interior is spacious and comfortable. The drive is nice and smooth, except over bumps.

Absolutely love the new exterior design of the new Ram. Interior is not as nice as the former, but is still nicer Ford truck interiors. New 4.7L 287 engine is much more fuel efficient than the former. You lose a little horsepower, but if savings dollars on gas is important this engine is for you. More room in the cab and the tough exterior design make up for the small details Dodge missed with the new Ram.

My 2003 Ram 1500 Quad Cab has been a very pleasant surprise. I had never thought about buying a Dodge truck but these new Rams really caught my eye. I got the 5.7 Liter "Hemi" and the 20 inch wheels with the sport package. The Ram handles very well for big truck and looks great. The first two months have been trouble free. The Hemi engine is awesome!

Have only put about 1500 miles on my new truck so the honeymoon's still on. Love the way it handles for a big vehicle. Has all the amenities of a luxury car and feels like it! The only problem with the ride I found was a back end bounce on certain stretches of road at high speed. But I when I have some weight in the cargo bed the bounce goes away. The 4.7 V8 is enough power for my purposes. I am getting about 14mpg in gas mileage around town. It could be better but that's the price you pay for owning a big truck I guess. I think my wife likes the truck as much as I do. I get compliments about its appearance all the time.

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.

Only have 150 miles but for what it is worth.....great to drive! I have the big 20" rims so I do notice a little rear bounce at higher speeds but overall I really enjoy. Smooth acceleration & great manueverability for such a large vehicle. I found the interior to be as nice as any other USA made truck. Rear seating is very comfortable, even for 6ft + folks. Gas mileage is per spec (averaging 14MPG in stop&go traffic on San Diego I-5 freeway), but what do you expect from a V8?

Beautiful truck!! A wonderful purchase! So much so That I just went and bought another Dodge Pickup (Hemi) after 35 years with General Motors products. There really is no comparison between the Dodge and Chevrolet. The Chevy`s that I have owned have rattled and clinked from the time I bought them and the Dodge`s have been sturdy. The Reliability between the 2 is also mismatched, The First Dodge has never seen a garage and has 65,000 miles on it in a very short time. The Silverado had seen the shop more times than fingers on both hands by this mileage. The looks are not even close.
Love my new Quad Cab

1st new vehicle purchase. Have been a Dodge fan for years. The interior and exterior styling of the new Dodge quad cab in my opinion is second to none. In comparison to the "compitition" the dodge has a slightly firmer ride like a truck should be. The steering is very responsive due to the vehicles new rack & pinion steering. Body roll is barely noticeable. Interior noise level is very quite. The sound of my 4.7 stock exhaust is just right, not to loud or to quite. The Dodge Quad may be a bit difficult to access for us shorter people.The addition of nerf bars added style and made easier access possible.
Very Nice Truck

This is my 4th Dodge Truck and I like this one the most. The Hemi is great and has plenty of power. Eventhough I loved my 99 Cummins this is much nicer to Drive for everyday. Good power, pulls my 18 foot trailer great, nicer ride then my Yukon and a much nicer infiniti sound system to. Great for my 3 kids, so much so that we are getting rid of the Yulon and my wife is going back to a nice car. No problems at all. In fact since I bought mine I have had 3 friends drive mine and then go out and buy there own. The brakes need alittle work, but remember I had a diesel before that needed brake work here and there. Great truck!

I bought this mainly for work and travel, but needed something to put the kids in too. The interior features had a lot to do with the purchase. The room in this truck is second to none. Styling is great. It just feels solid and well built. The engine provides enough power and doesn't feel overworked. Handling is phenominal. With 4,000 miles already, I've had no problems and am happy with the purchase.

Over all I love my big green truck. My only complaint ould be the fuel economy but hey .. it's a truck... what do I really expect?? Living in the boonies is a bit of a bite out of my wallet when gas stations are far and few between. I have had some unexpected paint chips unfortunatly (thank goodness for touch up paint). Havn't towed with it yet so I can't really coment in the power department yet. Handles great on hwy and mnt driving conditions. Besides you gotta admit it's nice when you can see over the traffic instead of staring at bumpers :).
more work in the interior it to simple

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.

I bought the truck used and it has run great ever since. I can't say too much for the gas mileage, but considering how big the truck is and the engine size, it does pretty well. It is a V8 after all. Great truck except Dodge needs to work a little with the shifting, it's not bad, but it's not perfect. Great truck!

This is my 3rd pickup, but the first one I bought for the actual utility a pickup afforded. I bought the truck to tow a boat. After much searching and deliberation I settled on the Dodge Hemi. It's looks are still to this date, incredible, and the HEMI, oh, the HEMI. I still get a tingle when I start the truck and it roars to life. The towing unfortunately was mediocre at best, though I am towing pretty close to it's rated 8600# capacity. As far as non towing and hauling it's incredible. My only real complaint would have to be the fuel mileage. I average about 11.5mg now. That kinda hurts the wallet, especially considering gas prices these days.
HEMI? Why, yes it does.

Got the HEMI and love it. Makes the truck quite quick. Standing on the accelerator forces you back into your seat like a catapult launch. Gas mileage is far better than I expected: started at about 14 mpg hwy. Now, with 13,000 miles, I average more than 18. The dark blue gets lots of compliments. Towed a large trailer from Memphis to Boston with ABSOLUTELY no problem. Couldn't even tell I was pulling over 3 tons of crap. GREAT TRUCK!

I thought the highway gas mileage at 11 mpg was the worst part of this 4x4 truck until the rear tire broke off the axle while trying to drive over a 6" curb. Then Dodge refused to warranty the vehicle and charge me $3400 to repair the axle. Needless to say, I will never buy a Chrysler product again. My 2002 FORD F350 is a great vehicle.

Excellent truck for the price! It has every feature I was looking for on a tight budget. The 20's definitely turn heads. Wheels are much better than the '01 and back. You have to get used to the long truck feel, but that is only minor.

Big size truck but lacks in the quality deptartment. Overall the quality of the my Dodge truck is very poor. Problems from the very beginning. Transmissions problems, valve problems and ring replacements after only 4 months. Prestige Dodge in Longmont, Co was the worst service I ever had. Everytime I took it in for repairs it took them 2 to 3 weeks to fix it. They always had to order parts from Chrysler, never had the right parts in stock. No loaner car either. The truck was in the Dodge garage more than my garage.

The truck is a 2003 SLT 1500 Quad Cab 4x4 Hemi with 20inch wheels. The brake rotors warp, which cause the truck to bounce during braking. Initial warpage occurs around 3000 miles, most dealerships appear to not acknowledge the problem. Now that the truck has passed 12k miles, I found a Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) that suggests turning the rotors and replacing the pads. The rotors need replaced and not turned as it is a defect in materials.

I have had this truck for a year now. it doesn't have the 4.7, it has the 5.9. i love this truck. fuel economy stinks(about 9.9 in the city and 10.4 on the highway). stereo controls on steering column had to be fixed, door lock actuators on the back doors had to be replaced. other than that i really love this truck. tows really strong with the 5.9. it handles great on the street. a lot of room in the interior. looks great with the 20's on it. highly suggest this truck. always gets positive comments from other people.

Dodge Ram is a great looking truck, but performance wise, it falls short. The 4.7L V8 (235 HP) and the 5.9L V8 (240 HP) are both very underpowered. This truck is sluggish. The transmission is not smooth. The interior is cheaply made and the seat feel like a cardboard coated steel. My entire dash cluster went out at 7K and a LOUND engine squeak noise would not go away after six trips to the dealer. The four full doors are nice, but the rear seat is really not that roomy, when compared to an F250 Crew Cab. Main (+) is the looks of this truck. It is mean looking. Large bark, no bite here.

Truck was great, the small V-8 was more than adequate for my needs. I was aware of the poor gas mileage before buying. Roomy interior,however,wind noise was pronounced at highway speeds. Transmission rebuilt at 46000, tranny problems continued.I would have kept the truck except for these problems. If you are interested in a Dodge,be sure to purchase an extended warranty.

I have both the F-150 and the new Ram 1500. I must say I ride a lot more smoother on the Ram. The design is awesome. My first impression was like "wow, I got to have that" and I'm glad I do. I was impressed with the interior. At 6' 3" and pretty hefty, the extra room sure comes in handy. Over all I love my truck from the design to the 20 inch rims to the interior, but I do wish for a little better gas mileage and more horsepower.

I got the 1500 Hemi with 20" wheels after checking out Chevy and GMC. This truck had me from the moment I sat in it. I picked it up with 50 miles, two weeks ago and currently have 2200. The gas mileage I will have to admit could be better but it's a truck afterall. I currently average 14mpg and improving. The hemi has awesome power and handles beautifully under most conditions. Watch out when going over bumps in the road, the truck wiggles as some of the other guys were saying. So far so good, I am really happy with my purchase.
