its a great truck. it has great handeling and is very reliable.
Great Truck
I love this truck. The drive is smooth and the handling is great for a big vehicle. With the 5.7L Hemi engine it has a lot of power and pick up off the line. I have the sport package with the 20" wheels, which really makes the truck look awesome. I get compliments on this truck all the time.
04 Dodge Ram
This has proven to be an awesome truck. The looks it receives and the power make it feel like a muscle car with extras. Plenty of room for a large family. Comfortable seating for six with reclining seats.
happy
I have the first year of this new design and purchased it in dec 2001. I have not had any problems with this truck. There are 40000 miles on it and it still feels new. With the 4.7 I am getting 16 city and 20 hwy mpg. Never a front end problem. Tires have worn evenly and still have the originals. Finish has held up well and people ask if I just got it. I tow a 22ft 5000lb boat with it and have always felt comfortable with it behind me. Snow? Best vehicle I have ever driven and I have had 14 different trucks. Good job with this one!
MY TRUCK
LOVE THE WAY IT TAKES OFF DONT LIKE THE BLIND SPOT AT THE LEFT AND RIGHT A- POST
Love My HEMI
This is my first full size truck. I was set to buy the new Ford. My family was always a Ford family. I even put off buying my new truck for 8 months until the new Ford came out. But a friend talked me into test driving the Ram and the whole time I told her, that there is no way I would ever own a Dodge. And here I am 5 months later with my Hemi. As soon as the salesmen started it and I heard the Hemi purr, I was in love. The power is unbelievable compared to the new F150 and I wanted a quad cab with a 6+foot bed and the ford quad cab only has a 5 1/2' bed. My family picks on me everyday for buying a Dodge, but in the long run, it is worth it.
5.7 Hemi is great
Great truck. Hemi engine is very powerful but I only get about 14 MPG using mid grade fuel. I have the SLT modified with leather interior which is a nice upgrade. Ride is a little bouncy but with a Fiberglass topper it rides better. I havent had a chance to try the four wheel drive on the highway yet because the winter has been mild in Minnesota. This is by far, the best looking truck on the road and with the 20 inch wheels I can look down at the H2-Hummer at a stop light. I would recomend this truck to anyone and with the incentives, it's a great buy.
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.
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.
10
i give this truck a 10
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.
Great Truck
I love this truck. Had it a little over a year and have had no problems. Rides great and has lots of get-up-and-go even though it doesn't have the Hemi. I can't imagine how much power this thing would have with a Hemi, the standard V8 is that good. Handles amazingly well considering its size. Great ride and plenty of passenger room.
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.
Best truck yet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best looking truck, better body style than Ford, Chevy and GMC. The Dodge looks and feels like a truck. Compared to Chevy with is low to the ground suspension and Ford with its low profile windows and small tires. Just not very impresive compared to the 2004 Dodge. I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ram Tuff
The truck meets all of My expectations. Super handling, roominess inside,and very good performance. At this time if I were planning to buy a new truck it would be a Dodge pick-up.
Great Truck
This truck has not disapointed - i am very satisfied
mine is a hemi, the best truck today.
hemi, hemi, hemi, hemi .......
dodge ram
This is a great truck. I average 18 mpg on the highway using mobil one synthetic oil. 8000 miles-No problems
Tough, Tall, and Roomy!!!
We love our Dodge Hemi! We have driven tthroughthe rough desert terrain, and pulled horses with it. We love how roomy the interior is; We eat our food on the huge arm between us, like as if it were a table, when we are on the road. We think it is the toughest loking, that actually performs up to its appearance!
A TRUCK THAT DRIVES LIKE A SPORTS CAR!
MY RAM TRUCK IS EQUIPPED WITH THE 5.7 HEMI MOTOR. IT HAS POWER TO SPARE. AND IT IS VERY FUN TO DRIVE. I LIVE IN NORTH OHIO. WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF SNOW IN THE PAST MONTH. MY TRUCK LAUGHS AT THE SNOW. SINCE I AM OVER 6'AND 260LB IT IS HARD TO FIND A VEHICLE TO FEEL CONFORTABLE IN. THE RAM TRUCK HAS PLENTY OF ROOM AND THEN SOME FOR 6 PEOPLE.
CaptHEMI
Auesome power and sound. I rather drive it without the music playing.
Dodge
the truck is great and thats al i have to say
Very Good Truck
I really like this truck. It doesn't have the best mileage, but worth it. It is light in the back but okay. Overall this is a great truck.
BADASS PICK UP I TELL YA WHAT
very nice truck mighty fine
The Greatest Truck on the road!
This is the second Dodge Ram 1500 I have had and I would never buy any other kind of truck!!!!!!!!!!!
My Hemi
This is my first Dodge after many disappointing Chevys. I really like this truck so far.
Sad Surprise
Was very disappointed with this truck when the highway mileage claim for the Hemi 5.7 was 18 and the actual was closer to 13. The steering feels like there isn't enough caster. Go across a railroad crossing a little fast and you will think its all about to end. The interior is nice as long as you dont have to sit on the seats. Mine is the Laramie and the seats are hard and not comfortable. Had a power steering line blow and had to wait a week for a part. This was my first new Chrysler product and also my last. The engine is powerful but with that kind of fuel mileage I would expect Viper performance.
awesome car lots of power hemi
I love this car i have a fully loaded 2wd 1500with the upgraged sound system and the sport tow package with 20 inch rims. the only problem i have is that brakes have all been replaced at 8,000 miles and there is a body sqeeking noise and the radio doesn't get clear reception other wise i wouldn't trade it for the world
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.
as advertised
this is my second dodge truck, had a 1977 dodge power wagon, am still impressed with the durability, no nonsence attitude of this model vehicle. the fit & finish is high, no rattles or vibrations. absolutely love this truck!
Dodge Ram 1500/Hemi
Geat vehicle--nicest I've ever owned. Only down side is cargo light switch-- be careful how it is adjusted or it will drain battery. Hemi engine? When you punch it to pass it's like you have a rocket up your behind. Truck handles well, great performance--brakes excelent.. Have driven it in snow-- handles well. I love the shift on the go to 4wd. Goes in and out of 4wd easily--no more hubs to get out and spin. I recommended the vehicle to a friend and he bought one also. I checked out Ford F-150 also, as I've driven Ford trucks for years. No comparison. Ram, hands down.
You can't buy a better truck
This truck is great. The drive is awesome and quiet. The look and drive out weighs the poor gas mileage.
best truck
this truck does it all. performance design quality comfort its all there. there is not another truck out there that compaires to the dodge ram
yeah its got a hemi
Maybe you should have a spot for 5.7 ltr review since they out perform the F- 150 in every aspect
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.
HEMI
HEMI baby that pretty much sums it up as easy as anyone could. Great sound, speed and pretty much just kicks b---!
'04 4x4 Quad Cab Short Bed 20" Dubs
Strong truck easy to drive and handle. Performance 2nd to none with the hemi. Smooth shifting auto-trans, solid ride, and very capable 4X4. Interior components solid, not shaky like my Fords wiggly windows or my GM's flimsy interior parts or mushy seats. Best truck on the road for the money today!
Very Good Offroad Truck
I think this is great off road truck! Goes anywhere! I have taken it through some tuff places and not had one problem getting me there or out! Have pulled many Fords out of ditches with it too!! I do this with no after market add ons also!!
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.
This is a Hemi but it is really a TOTAL
I have owned a Rolls, 3 Mercedes, a Porsche and two Ford Trucks but this is the BEST By Far!!!!!!!!!!
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!!!
about my new truck!!!!!!
this truck rides & handles better than it looks!!!!!!!!
The gas burner King.
I absolutely love this truck, it smokes Chevy and Ford in sooo many ways. They are really trying to move these trucks at the dealerships as well, hence the great deal I made. The truck is very tight and rides well on and off road, no rattling and the Laramie leather is super comfy. The Hemi pulls like a mule and won't kill you at the pumps either. What a great truck.
very good
excellent from outside to inside its excellent.its got a powerful motor.great comfort.
My dodge
The truck is beautiful. Its fun to drive and you feel safe. However, if you are concerned about gas mileage, forget it. If you are concerned about mileage don't even look at a pickup truck.
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.
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!
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.
