DODGE RAM 1500

THE TRUCK IS GREAT LOOKING. MORE THOUGHT COULD HAVE BEEN PUT INTO INTERIOR DESIGN. THE RIDE IS HARSH TO SAY THE LEAST. I HAVE A VIBRATION IN THE DRIVETRAIN OR SUSPENSION THAT THE DEALER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEGE. THE HEMI ENGINE HAS AN ANNOYING TICKING SOUND THAT THE DEALER SAYS IS "NORMAL." THE DRIVER'S SEAT SHIFTS WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOP-STILL NOT FIXED. ENGINE AND TRANS ARE A GOOD MATCH AND FEEL STRONG.

Love this truck. Handling,take off and comfort. I installed a K&N cold air filter and Flow Master Duel muffler-neither helped my gas mileage. The 5 speed auto transmission won't go into over drive until you get above 58 mph-dealer says not enough torque. So I get about 11.5 mpg city and 15.5 highway it came with 17" rims not 20"--BUT I DO LOVE THIS TRUCK. It's fun to drive and the grand kids love to ride in it. Just wish the MPG was better and Trans shifted smoother. But I plan to keep it.

Worth every penny

2005 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 SRT-10 2dr Regular Cab Rwd SB (8.3L 10cyl 6M)

This truck is awesome! I own a 1969 Plymouth GTX with a 4spd and 440-6pac engine and this truck brings all that power and fun back...AND MORE! 500HP and A/C? You cant beat that. I would stay away from the new 4 door version. This truck is a head turner and a magnet for anyone that appreciates a true factory performance vehicle. I was getting food at the local fast food joint and some kid who worked at the jiffy lube across the street ran down just to get a picture of it so he could tell he friends that he actually saw a REAL SRT-10 Ram in person! When did that ever happen to you in any of your cars? If you dont mind replacing a tire for $350 a piece, this truck is for you!

My new to me Ram 1500

I wanted to get back into a truck, so I started researching different trucks online. I've had 3 Ford's, 2 Chevy's, 2 Jeep's and 1 Nissan Frontier. I'm really a Ford guy, but their gas mileage stinks! Dodge's popped up and I saw that they get better gas mileage than my Grand Cherokee. I've had my '05 1500 for a week now and I love it. I got the Hemi and the gas mileage is actually pretty good. My Dad is a Die-hard Ford guy and just bought a brand new F150 and now wants to trade it in for a Ram because he likes mine so much. I test drove a few 4.7L Ram's and if you really are looking for the best gas mileage out of any trucks, that's the one to get. It's not the same as the Hemi, but it'll go!
