Used 2008 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Consumer Reviews
2008 Ram 1500 4X4 Lonestar Edition
I owned a 2002 Ram 1500 4X4 SLT before and loved it. The 2008 road much smoother, had more power and with the MDS, got better gas mileage. I love the truck, I love driving in the New England snow...and it has been a bad year for snow this winter. Can't wait to get it out on the sandy beaches. The gas mileage has held true, if I keep my foot off the accelerator. It's hard, because it is too much fun. It wants to break loose on the salted/sanded roads...so you have to take it easy. It turns a lot of heads too. I get a lot of looks and comments.
Nice truck
This truck is a real good buy. It rides great, handles great. Plenty of room inside. My daughter has a grooming shop and it is perfect for transporting dogs to various destinations. The six cylinder has got plenty of power. I am very proud to own this vehicle. I've had other trucks, GMC, a Ford nothing as nice as this Ram.
Lemon Law Prospect
I traded an identical 2004 for the 2008 Hemi because of the drive train guarantee. I signed a paper saying the vehicle had 12 miles on the odometer. I signed another paper without noticing that the mileage was recorded as 3030. I called the dealer to inquire about this and was told they could put as many as 5000 miles on demonstrators and still sell them as new. I asked if they had changed the oil at 3000 and was told to bring it in and they would change the oil. I asked about a small dent in the rear bumper and was surprised when I was told that I may have gotten bumped at Krogers or Walmart when they had put 3030 miles on it and I had put less than 300. Steering had to be replaced.
From Rumblebee Ram to Big Horn Ram
It has been 4 years since I had my Hemi Rumblebee. I have been driving a 2005 Lincoln Towncar since 2006. I was having too much trouble hauling things in the trunk so with my GE Partner, Military discounts and the other rebates from Dodge, I got the fever to get a truck. I have not quite seen 2 weeks since I purchased my 2008 "Big Horn" Edition Ram 1500 Quad 4x2. So far I love it. Just hit 400 miles today. The Nerf bars are a must have if you have the 20" wheels. Very cold A/C nice ergonomic features in general.
08 Ram 1500 Grill problems
Hi All, I have owned this truck for only a few days but in the first 100 kms the plastic grill fell apart. It was obviously broken and mended to look good by the previous owner and the dealer has stated they will help me fix the problem (Nissan). The plastic struts appear to be a weak point for the exterior of this vehicle. Has anybody else had problems? Solutions? Thanks JRM Back then. the grill was replaced and since that time I have had brakes routine maintainence done ..Some of the electrical stuff, Door locks, mirrors etc are not working so that is my next problem. Otherwise the truck has served us well!
