Ram 1500 Quad w/ Hemi
Moved up from a Dakota. Nice ride, great improvement, better mileage than the 6 cyl. Dakota.
Hemi is worth it...
I know the options only give you the 4.7 to review/rate so I'm writing this review here. Finally took a while for me to find the "right" combination of options and color scheme but when I did it was worth it. Hemi is second to none, just wish the bolt-on horsepower options (Air intake system, etc.) weren't so much more for the Hemi as compared to other engines. As of now it presents more than enough power. Envy factor has already made a close friend buy one only two months after I got mine.

Should Have Bought This Sooner!
Purchased the last 2005 model the dealer had on the lot. WOW! What a truck. If ever a truck could have too much power (5.7L Hemi)this is it. More standard Horse Power than a Mustang. I have (had) been a Chevy man my whole life. The look, feel, ride, and performance of this truck scream testosterone. PLENTY of room for 6 people (Quad-Cab). I was also informed by the dealer that 2005 is the last year Dodge is offering the 7 Year/70,000 mile powertrain warranty. Sticker on window was $34k but after rebates/incentives drove it off the lot for $22k. It also has the 4WD, SLT package.
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.
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.
