Used 2005 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 4dr Quad Cab SLT 4WD SB (4.7L 8cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews
Can't be beat
I drove Chevy trucks for years. When I test drove the Ram I realized what a truck should be. The Hemi is by far the best aspect of the truck but the fit and finish is solid also. Anyone driving a Ford or Chevy should take a Ram Hemi for a drive and feel what a real truck feels like.
Never again!
I Bought this truck because I had heard good things about the new Dodge trucks in 2005. I have regretted it. Problems include: EGR valve, rough idle (fuel filter is attached to the fuel pump, replacement of one means replacement of both) the adjustable driver's seat track has broken five times in 39,000 miles. When the seat track breaks the seat freely travels back and forth upon acceleration or braking (dangerous and painful). Dodge has told me that they do not care. Their very high up management has told me that the safety of one person is not that important to them since there have not been many other complaints. Never again will I buy a Dodge. They do not believe in their product.

Ford man who bought a Hemi
My experience from my Dodge has been great. My dodge gets more looks and comments from more people then a supermodel. The engine "Hemi of course" has plenty of power to get you 0-60 in quick time but I recommend the optional 34 Gallon fuel tank because the MPG sucks at my average of 11.4. Cruzing at 55-60 miles per hour without stopping I get great milage. Seats are very comfortible in both front and rear. 20" wheels and Tires pick up every nail and screw it can find but looks great on the truck. Exterior nerf Steps made the wife to be like the truck better and we both wish we upgraded the stero system to the Infinity 11 Speakers system. Road noise and ride is very much Average.
Love it BUT!!
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.
Love the Hemi
My Dodge is a very good-looking and strong running truck. love the Hmi, but the 5 speed auto leaves much to be desired! I smell a new trannyin this one before it' over. I have already had it reprogrammed at 5000 miles and it still isn' right. If Dodge would fix their transmission issues, they would sell many more of these hotrods!
