Ram tough

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

First vehicle I ever bought. Family has always owned Dodge with no problems. I have owned the vehicle for 7 mo and has been in the shop 7 times (mainly due to unreliable technicians). I have a squeek in the dash and passanger door that just wont go away. Recenly the bed of the pickup is offset from the passanger compartment. Also, after 2 hrs of driving the MDS doesn't know what to do (vehicle is constantly surging with the flucuating RPM's).

2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Laramie 4dr Quad Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

After 18 years and the price of diesel going through the roof, I purchased a new 4wd 1500 Laramie loaded. The truck arrived right on time and the dealer gave me the ttx rail tracking numbers to follow my truck from the plant to the showroom. With just under 10,000 miles, I have had no problems with the exception of a after market item which produced a squeak which was quickly fixed. As a 20 year person going back to a gas was tough but with this hemi oh what a ride. Smooth riding, excellent handling, corners great on pavement or gravel. If you keep your foot out of it, and shut off the od in mountains and traffic the mpg improves. Verdict I'm glad I got a dodge hemi.

I purchsed the Dodge during a snow storm and thought I would have to drive very carefully on my way home but with the ESP (electronic stability System), it was almost impossible to get the wheels to break loose. My kids fight over the front seat because of the heated seat feature. I really like the styling and you can't beat the power.
