2005 4X4 RAM

With 53K plus miles so far, very satisfied. Manufacturer over-torqued front wheels so rotors got warped. Dodge mechanic states valve train noise is normal. Stock tires are a little "floaty" on curves with bumps. No out of pocket expenses yet other than maintenence.

Love my Dodge Ram Hemi. Great performance, comfort, and reliability. This is my third Dodge truck, and everyone has been wonderful. The only drawback is poor gas mileage, but the fun of driving this makes up for it.

"Hemi-ness Is A Warm Run"

This is a great truck! Purchased the Laramie w/Sport Pkg, 4WD, Quad Cab. My 3rd Dodge truck since '98. Moved up from Dakotas. The Hemi is strong even at our Colorado elevation of 6,000ft plus. Even more impressive at sea level. Drove it to California and back, averaged 17.3mpg cruising at 75mph. Tight build quality, good materials, very smooth on the freeway and around town. Brake grip is quick. Quiet, great Nav/CD/Radio/Sat system. Infinity sound is impressive. Controls on the steering wheel for Cruise&Audio perfectly placed. Rated it w/9s for Ride/Drive because anything can be improved, and 5 for Fuel because that's average for big trucks. Gave it straight 10s for Design, it's that good! Buy it!

I have had this truck for about 6 months and absolutely love it. Yes I have a hemi. Love the power and smooth ride mine is a special southern comfort edition. Black cherry paint with molded running boards and tauno cover. It also has embroidered seats all leather with a composite dash board. I use synthetic oil and have had no mechanical problems. Ride is great and it sits up high so seeing is easier for me at only 5'2". I have had nothing but compliments on how nice it looks.

I have had this pickup for almost 3 years, bought brand new. Fried tranny at 9000, dealership told me a piece broke off the pump and clogged the cooler. New transfer case and front differential at 26000, no explanation. Now at 35000 power steering has a horrible leak in it. This pickup has seen almost all highway miles and regular maintenance.
