I bought this truck when Dodge was having the fire sale prices in fall of 2008- the sticker price was a little over $ 34K and I paid $ 18, 250.00 I had always been a Ford man but i couldn't pass up the price. So far the truck has been a pleasant surprise- driven it 30K miles in just over a year- once to Maine and on several long trips. Very comfortable, very nice styling and only a few problems- all taken care of under warranty- the windshield developed a stress crack and one of the front shocks leaked- the stealership replaced both fronts at no charge. Gas mileage is decent as I always average about 19mpg on highway. Those of you who complain about gas mileage should do the speed limit!

I've owned my ram big horn for about two months and it's an amazing piece of machinery. I've had no problems and it is the funnest drive ever! Performance of a sports car power of an 8 wheeler. ;D

Traded in a 2005 Chevy Malibu.Actually drove a Doge Ram reg cab(2007)this past May when my Malibu was in for warranty work at the Chevy dealer. Did NOT like it at first, drove the Ram for the day and walked away subconsciously impressed. I started looking at the Ram more and more. Then came the sale price, 10 grand in rebates, lifetime powertrain warranty to boot. Went to the dealer and took a close look, checked the quad cab out, and purchased the next day. And Lovin IT! Thanks to the NO pressure folks at Swift Dodge in Davis, CA. I actually left the lot on a Saturday evening to think about the purchase, NO hassles at all. Smooth transaction at the dealer, great dealer! AWJ

Get truck so far, I love the feel, very comfortable ride with plenty of power in the pedal. Around town gas mileage so far is between 15.5 & 16.4 but I keep my foot out of it too. The 310HP V8 is really nice to have when you need to get out into traffic in a hurry, general set up/layout of the interior is good, exterior goes without saying! Awesome. Hope this review helps, so far the best truck I have every owned and I have had them all in the past.

Pleasantly Surprised

I bought my 2008 RAM with 41,000 and am pleasantly surprised. I really never considered buying a RAM pickup until a friend of mine had me drive one. I was amazed at the responsiveness of the 5.7 L HEMI; clearly a step above the Chevy and Ford. I've now run 5 tanks of fuel through the truck and I've never had less than 18 MPG - far better than my Ford F-150 and better than my 4.7L Jeep Grand Cherokee thanks to the MDS. The interior is not flashy, but I find the simpleness pleasing and clean. The navigation and bluetooth is better than my Acura TL's. The sound system is decent and the brakes are incredible. Top this off with a comfortable ride and is very easy to drive. Buy one, worth it
