5,000 miles in approx. 1 month. 6 cylinder, auto, no frills, manual windows, vinyl floors, seats. Roomy, added Work Rack and boxes. Felt engine lacked power, downshifted too often on inclines. Added K&N air filter. Big improvement. Better mileage, too. Good truck. Comfortable.

I am the former owner of a 2008 Dodge Ram with quad cab and a camper shell, and hemi engine. My truck was loaded with all my belongings when I pulled in to the parking lot of a Courtyard Marriot in Lebanon, New Hampshire, close to Dartmouth Hitchcock Medical Facility. As I eased into a parking space, my foot slipped from brake to accelerator and suddenly I was roaring through a wrought iron fence and flying through the air, down a 100 ft. cliff. I was securely buckled in. I landed on all four wheels and never moved from the comfort of the drivers seat. The engine was still running. The truck is totaled but it is a testament to Dodge that this is one very very tough truck.

In 2009 I bought a 2008 Ram 1500 3.6L with 9k miles. The truck has been used for transportation only, no hauling or towing, it now has 53K miles. I had to replace the power steering pump $450 and now need a new transmission $1800. Buyer beware, the unlimited powertrain warranty does not transfer. I will not buy another Dodge product. Expensive lesson learned.
Warranty Disapointment

When I purchased my vehicle it came with a lifetime warranty on the drivetrain. I was told by dodge corporate and sales people to keep all maintenance receipts and said warranty will stay if effect. There is a 5 year inspection that was never told to me. I did have the tuck inspected by a certified dodge dealer a two years after the 5 year mark! If the the truck passed at 7 years it would have passed at 5! Dodge corporate refused to reinstate my warranty even though I have every receipt for maintenance since I have owned my truck. Dodge corporate used the fine print over the employees of their dealership and refused to honor a certified report from the dealer stating the vehicle passsed. I would advise anyone looking for a new vehicle to look into any other brand but Dodge! UPDATE: 09-16-2017 as of this date dodge still refuses to honor the lifetime warranty for my Dodge Ram ! This is a sad way for Dodge corporate to slap the face of myself and its employees. To this date my truck still passes the required inspection from a certified Dodge dealer however corporate still refuses to reinstate the lifetime warranty! This was the main reason I purchased the vehicle in the first place! Once again i ask all who are looking to buy a new vehicle consider any other type vehicle but a Dodge product!! They will do anything they can to void their own promotions!!! Dodge corporate should be embarrassed!!! As of 03-19-18 still no call from Dodge ! They just want me to go away or for my truck to get wrecked for a total loss. How sad.

Here it is folks. I run my trucks in the service industry. I've had Fords, Chevys, and Dodge trucks. I annualy put on 18000 miles per yr on gravel/26000 hwy . If you want reliability(hands down)buy a Dodge diesel. Interior appointments OK but not as nice as Chevys. If you want a nice hiway truck, buy a diesel (expect nickle and dime repairs over 60000 miles lots of them) if you work this truck. Great tranny and motor though. Fords hum. To each his own but I cannot see me purchasing another Ford in the near future.
