BEST FAMILY TRUCK ON THE ROAD
THE TRUCK IS GREAT FOR A LARGE FAMILY WHO NEEDS THE QUALITIES THAT A TRUCK HAS TO OFFER. THEY COMMAND ATTENTION, HAVE LOTS OF POWER, ARE VERY COMFORTABLE, MAXIMUM STORAGE, AND GOOD FUEL MILEAGE.
4.7 Regular cab w/5speed auto- ST model
My reference vehicle is my work truck, a 2000 ford f150 4X4 with the 4.6 and a four speed auto. The Dodge is noticeably faster with the 4.7 and the five speed auto. I love this transmission and engine! The mileage was not good for the first 1500 miles but has since improved to the advertised figures. I love the spacious cab. The only negative has been the ride. The dodge has a good highway ride but is a little harsh over bumps in the city. The ride seems to have gotten better as the miles have piled on or maybe I've just gotten used to the ride? Overall I'm very pleased with this truck and would reccomend it.

I LOVE THIS TRUCK!
If you are looking for a GREAT truck then the Dodge Ram is PERFECT. Rides great, looks great in and out. So if you are looking for a new truck, then this is PERFECT.
The BEST truck ever made
I bought my Dodge in 2001. It had 65000 miles on it and when I got rid of it, it had 161000 miles. I NEVER had any major problems with the truck. I had to get rid of it because I went back to school. That was the saddest day of my life. :( Dodge is by far the best truck ever made. I will tell everyone the same. I am truly a Dodge fan.
very good
excellent from outside to inside its excellent.its got a powerful motor.great comfort.
Not worth the money
If it wasn't free to me....no way. There's not many trucks, let alone one by Dodge that can command a $45k price....not worth it just to get a cool powerful motor.
Hemi Cuda in Ram's clothes
This thing flys like a vette but is big enough to command respect as you ride down the freeway
It's got a Hemi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
excelente truck, performance, handling, styling, safety, utility, fun to drive, catchs every one atentions all over, lets admited the best truck ever.
I Love My Truck
I've only had this truck for a month, and already I've fallen in love with it. I've never owned a truck with this much style.
Ram
In the 7 months i have had my dodge ram, it has been great. I have always wanted one, and now i do, its my first new car, and i cant complain. Few minor things such as no power locks/windows, or cruise control, but those i could live with out. I think those things should be included in base models, my 82 camaro had power locks and windows. The gas mileage i thought would be better, but for city, its not great. Gotta love that Ram look!!
Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 SLT 5.7L HEMI
Gotta have the 5.7L! 345 horses with amazing torque. I added a Volcan air intake and 3 inch dual exhausts and it's pushing 360 horses and still maintains around 13.8 mpg. If you want raw power... this is the truck you want.
2004 5.7L HEMI - quad cab LoneStar
The Lone Star Package is great. This is the 1st HEMI I have owned in a truck, and let me say WOW. That is some power, off the line and on the highway, you will not be disappointed. I have had no problems in the past 3 years, and with the great deal am not upside down on my loan :~). Just wish it had a sun roof. For RAW power and decent mpg, its well worth the money. This truck can get almost 18MPG highway, or down to 9mpg if you have a lead foot and love speed. The bottom line is the power is there when you need it!
lovin' my ram
my flamin' red hot ram is the most fun ride out of the 4 other dodge trucks i have owned.
Love the Ram Hemi
I had the 2003 4.7 and loved it.They came out with the Hemi in the same model I had and I traded up. They both are awesome trucks.They are both similar except for performance and horsepower.My fuel mileage is better in the Hemi than the 4.7,with the bigger engine and more horses my engine isn't working as hard. I just have to get use to the pedal, truly my dream truck!!!
10
i give this truck a 10
what about this
it was a wonderful adition to the dodge line up it reminds me of the old days flying down the highway racing my friends
Love My SRT-10
My SRT-10 drives great. It's fast and I can depend on it where ever I go. It's got the eye-catching looks too! The truck is just an outstanding vehicle!
Sweet Truck
I bought this 04 Dodge Hemi in April of 2007. It's a sweet truck. It's got everything but a sunroof. This truck is very fun to drive except on really wet roads with some standing water. The 20" tires seem to hydroplane too much. (but yes I do love the way they look) On snowy roads they seem to do the same thing. I never felt like I had good traction in the winter. My 95 Dakota felt more stable. The gas mileage isn't very good around town 11/12.2 is the best I've seen. Freeway is OK but I never broke 16, until I got a K&N (just the pop in filter). The cold air intake is to loud. After I put the filter in,after about 300 miles I would get high 16s and 17s on trips if I drove around 75mph.
I love this truck
This is our 3rd Dodge. The other two were Grand Caravans. I can personally attest to Dodge quality and safety. My husband was hit and broadsided in his Grand Caravan. It sustained $15,000 worth of damage, but he came out with only very minor injuries,l thanks to Dodge engineering. Our new 2004 Ram 1500 slt has that same quality feel and weight, yet it handles adeptly and the ride is great. The seating is very comfortable, the lit instrument panel easy to read and overall, it is an excellent ride. Theres plenty of storage, and the front seat center console box is great for storing maps and other needed quickly items.
Dodge rules
I think that dodge has done an awesome job designing thier new fleight of trucks. They should looking for new ideas.
Great Truck
Quality of the build was what impressed me the most. Tight, quiet, responsive both brakes and steering.
HEMI
I have been unable to find the 5.7 liter Hemi in any of these sites. So here we are. I am not a truck person, but my husband has wanted one for a very long time! We got it right before being stationed in Germany. Very big truck for this country. Lot easier in the states, but still very big. Also the gas mileage!! Not very good, but what can you expect from a 5.7 liter Hemi? I do love it now though!
GREAT TRUCK
THIS TRUCK RIDES GREAT. IF YOU CAN GET THE HEMI, GET IT. THERE IS PLENTY OF POWER WHEN YOU NEED IT. NOT TO GOOD ON GAS BUT IT IS A FULL SIZE TRUCK. THE INTERIOR IS NICE FOR THE MONEY,AND IS QUIET INSIDE. YOU WILL NOT GO WRONG WITH THIS TRUCK.
Dodge Daota Best Pickup I Ever Bought!
i woulld highly recomend buying this truck over any other pickup.
Dodge Hemi
This truck has more poer and acceleration than any truck I've ever owned. I was strictly a Chevy guy and had good luck with them, but the looks and feel of this truck won me over. I have had many people walk past when sitting in the truck and comment on the good looks. If I have a complaint, they over exagerated the mileage. It's no where near what the comparable Chevy gets. I hope the power and looks are worth the loss in mileage.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I just purchased it, and I love this truck. It has great power on tap at any time. For what it is, it's just truly unbelievable. I walk away every time in absolute awe. I have found Heaven on Earth and the fact that it just draws people like very few other cars can do. So if you want a performace vehicle and gas isn't a factor, this is a usable truck that can actually carry more than her purse.
very nice
i have th hemi. lots of power and fun to drive
Great truck
This vehicle is roomy and a great buy. Rides smooth and is a great buy for the money.
love my trunk
it drive like a dream very comfort but the gas could be better that all i found wrong
Dodge Muscle
Best of both worlds with muscle car looks and performance. Cavernous interior for my six foot three body. Mechanically reliable so far at 17k miles.
A must have truck
This truck takes me back to the 60's. I graduated from high school in 1965 and I owned a 1965 Olds 442. I also owned a 1970 Chevelle 454 with the LS6 motor and nothing compares to this truck. Thanks to Dodge for coming out with this truck. I owned a Ford 2000 lightning, but this truck puts that too shame. Go Dodge!
All Dodge Family!
Love the interior and exterior appearance. Silver paint and 20 inch chrome wheels really add to the appearance. Slate gray leather interior (Laramie package). Very smooth ride. Added nerfs, bug deflector and locking gas cap (mopar). Truck has been a real head-turner. Excellent service from dealer and a GREAT deal! Purchased at end of month AND quarter, AAA purchase program (invoice + 1-5%), cash, $1500 incentive. Used Internet to research purchase THOROUGHLY! Truck has poor gas mileage (expected this!). Loose gas cap will cause check engine light to turn on.
Great Truck
Great truck. Drive almost 100 miles a day. Dodge needs to make it more fuel economical.
great truck
great truck, no problems
srt-10
i thought this truck was just awsome,i enjoy this more than any other car or truck i have drove
Brakes Bad
The front brakes have been bad since 5100 miles. I turned rotors, replaced rotors ar 12136 miles and now it has 24000 miles and I still have the same warping on front rotors, The dealership has now decided I drive the truck too hard and they now want ot charge me $180 to turn rotors that only have 12,000 miles on them. Never buy another Chrysler product.
hold on
I got the hemi and man I tell you it is a great truck people want to compare with the Ford supercharged that's apples and oranges but with a couple of modes it blows the Ford and Chevys away.
I love my SRT-10
I bought it for a toy, a toy it is. Eye catching, ear catching, heart catching. You don't buy one and worry about the mileage. If you can buy one and pay cash, you will have even more fun.The navagation system is a must option, I'll be taking it around to show it off to all.
THE BEST TRUCK!!!
This is the greatest truck ive ever owned. HEMI, never thought one word would be that powerful!!! Great Power and comfort as well as features, easily the best lookin fullsize pickup.
New Dodge Truck
Actually broke down in the first 35 miles. Dealer was outstanding in getting bad wiring repaired. Still the best truck owned.
Wow! What a truck
This truck is about the fastest things on the road and its a truck!! I've tried F-150 Lightnings of various years and they are rather fast. This truck closes the door on them though. I just wish all wheel drive was an option or standard to control the wheelspin
It's a Hemi
This old boy as 53,000 miles on it. This as been a great truck so far. Most of these miles have been highway, it's the family vacation truck. Wife doesn't know how to pack. I have no problems out of this truck. The gas cap went bad with 500 miles on it and the dearler replaced. At 30,000 miles did the service at a local shop not Dodge paid about 500 or so for it. When gas prices got high we used my wife's car for vacation this fellow only gets 15.5 miles per gallon on highway at 80 mph. People can't beleive it's an 04. It rides good and looks good with the 20 inch wheels. Had to replace the tire with 30,000 miles on them. There sometimes is a ticking sound from the engine put in Mobil 1 synthetic oil.
love this truck
so far i got 11200mi on this truck no complaints driver seat needs to be more comfortable, very good looking truck., every single day have good complaments about this beuty
My gas guzzler
Great truck, poor gas, I have the 5.7 HEMI, It will pull anything, anywhere as long as there a place to get fuel on the way.
RAM QC 4X4 5.9 2003
I have been very happy with this truck. I wish I had gotten a different engine (4.7 or 5.7) and not the 20 inch wheels. They look great but new tires will cost a fortune
After 40k miles
This truck is difficult to park, I still can't get this beast between the lines! The A/C is LOUD. The dealer says it sucks leaves and dirt into the fan... nothing can be done except remove the fan & clean it. When the brakes are applied the driver seat shifts just slightly enough to be annoying. I'm 6'2" and find the seats comfortable, my wife is 5'1" and hates the seats. There is MUCH more road noise now than when the truck was new. Drive side visor has just gone "floppy". Can't wear my western hat while I drive, the head rest is in the way, hellava note for a pickup.
SRT-10
Its a truck. But in a life of a Viper! Great fun. really reliable. Built needs to be stronger. Comfortable if not going 150mph. Slick look to the outside.
I love it
I bought this truck in 2002, has the 4.7 with full towing package. I towed a 25 ft travel trailer to Utah last year. (fr0m Louisiana) Not one problem. I towed to Connecticut and New York this year with a new 28 ft trailer. I wish I had the Hemi, but it wasn't available at the time of purchase. Still the truck performed flawlessly. My wife loves it. This is my first Dodge. Odometer is now at 35000. With the 20 inch tires the ride is nice and smooth. My next move will be up to the 2500. My trailers seem to be getting bigger not smaller.
All around fun
What awesome Hemi power. Blows away most other cars and trucks. Bought used at 5000 miles and added cruise and power locks. Just drove 3000 miles in rain, snow and sleet including mountain driving and freeways. Averaged 16.5 mpg at 75 to 80 mph and a big load in the bed. Love this truck! No repairs, only oil changes since purchase.
HEMI quad Cab SLT 4X4 with 20in wheels
Great so far. HEMI sounds great thrill every time it starts. The 20's dont ride as well as the 17's but I love them. YOu dont but a truck to ride well. Space of interior is great as is the 6'3 bed. My only reccommendation is that its probably not as fast feeling as you would think but youll notice when you go to pass on freeway.
