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.

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!

Excellent all-around truck for work, commuting, and getting the family around. Very comfortable to drive, with power seating option. Great visibility in poor weather on the interstate as compared to a previous GMC that sat lower to the ground. Tows very well with excellent stability. Corners very well with 20 inch wheel option. Stops on a dime. Never felt more in control when driving a truck. No mechanical problems of any kind with over 47K miles on this truck. I just had the brakes checked at my last service interval and they had about 60% remaining on the pads, so it's definitely a low maintenance vehicle. The 4.7L V-8 is adequate, but the Hemi would be even more fun.

This truck has it all, it's great for riding around the country and it's extremely handy when just running errands around town. The best thing is it can tow a boatload of stuff and the boat or whatever you want to hook-up to. Mine has the 5.7L Hemi. If I had to make the choice again I would still get it with gas at $2.37 a gallon. There is no substitute for a well made engine with great reliability. The truck itself has great visibility and looks sharp.

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.
