2008 Quad Cab 4.7 Liter

I've had the truck for a couple of weeks now and love it. The new 4.7 liter engine has plenty of power for my needs. The only negative I have is that I wish mpg was a little better in the city. But it is a truck so what do you expect. On the highway I've gotten between 18 and 20 crusing around 65 so that's not too bad. It seems pretty solid to me and is probably the best buy for the money.

08 Ram 1500 QC "Big Horn" 5.7L HEMI

I've had it for a couple months now and it's been great! Sole purpose of getting the truck, is to tow our Toy Hauler. I am towing about 8400 lbs fully loaded and the 5.7 L HEMI has no problem! I installed a pair of Timbrens in the rear which helps a lot when towing. For the engine, I installed an aftermarket air intake/Gibson exhaust/JET Chip and recently, a throttle body spacer which has made a difference in MPG, I get a few more miles. Overall, I would recommend this truck to all that want a truck that can tow/haul or if you just want the most torque in it's class.

So Far So Good

I have only owned the car for about a month now, but I love it. I came from a Mini Cooper. Obviously a big step up in size and less fuel economy. But I love my Ram. The Hemi pulls extremely hard. I opted for the Big Horn package and the 20" rims give the truck a little more height. Overall its a great truck. Let just hope it stays that way!

Great truck! Turns surprisingly well for a large pickup. Plenty of power when towing my camper (5000 lbs) or when the bed is loaded. 4wd gripping is great. Went up an unpaved, icy, 300 foot driveway at about a 25% to 30% grade without slipping at all.

08 Ram Hemi

This is my second Dodge truck. Last one was good, so got another. This one has a Hemi/Auto trans/LSD diff. Truck is good fun to drive, with some upgrades: 180 degree T-stat, cold air intake, exhaust, and Diablo tuner- performance 93 octane tune(also turns off that nasty MDS, didn't get a Hemi for gas milage?). Have changed all oil fluids over to Mobil-1, and added PML covers on trans/diff, they add fluid capaicity. Truck goes like stink. But i will stick to severe maintance schedule and change fluids twice as much as normal, the stealership gets enoungh of my money. So far - so good. Garry.
