Used 2005 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Consumer Reviews
Super fun, and a workhorse for towing.
I purchased this vehicle to fill our needs for towing a 5000lbs boat and also a 5000lbs travel trailer. The 5.7L Hemi is the choice for us due to its power of 345hp and 375ft/lbs of torque. When you drive this truck you immediately notice the power when you accelerate. After driving other brands before purchasing, we feel very confident in our selection. This truck handles our towing needs very well.
Pricey performance
Fun to drive, but not for everyday use. Gas mileage is horrible and have had problems with fuel injection system.

So far, so good
I have driven Ford trucks for over 18 years until last year when I had several unpleasant experiences at Ford dealers and with my most recent Ford product. So I switched to Dodge, and so far, that was an excellent choice. If you purchase the "Hemi" and the 3.92 rear, you can't go wrong for towing. Ford could take lessons from this. If I get my usual 150,000- 200,000 miles, I'll stay a changed man.
Pete's Hemi
Fun to driver on or off road and has the power you need. When you need it to pull heavy loads, it still has get up and go even in 4x4. All I can say is, sweet!
Dodge Ram 1500
The Dodge Ram 1500 is by far the best value in the full size market. A great looking truck that can work hard and is also affordable.
