I've now reached 30,000 miles on my Hemi Big Horn Quad Cab with only two issues. A mismatched DC adapter caused the entire vehicle to shut down. Had to disconnect the battery to reset the system. Other is a crack in the windshield caused by a rock. This truck is absolutely fantastic. Smooth powerful ride, towing a 7000 lb boat over Cottonwood pass with ease. I consistently average 18 mpg at 75 mph. Heads turn and thumbs up from the style and rich wine red color. I bought this at the end of '08 for $20K off of sticker and I am completely satisfied with this vehicle. Awesome chrome package that other dodge owners have offered to buy time and time again.

Bought used with only 13.4K miles at 2.5 years old. Still had new truck smell. Love this rig. Came from a 98 Durango, this one so much bigger, much more power. Love the satellite radio. Bright red color, was rear ended and hit the guy in front, bumpers and tow hitch toast, minor dent to tail gate. Stout build. In shop, can't wait to get it back. Hemi engine is awesome. My third Dodge in 25 years, the 98 Durango never gave me any problems, had 170K on it, no power train work at all. Was gonna keep it, but my neighbor came over with an offer I could not refuse. Son 1 has an 06 Dakota, son 2 has an 87 Power Ram.

I have wind noise on the drivers side only. The dealership has replaced the door seals and adjusted the door. No improvement. They told me that I would just have to live with the problem because all the 1500 have the problem. I have trouble believing that. Does anyone else have the problem? Love everything else about the truck. My second Dodge Ram and maybe the last from this dealer.

My brother had bought a 2008 1500 big horn and i drove it to the lake pulling my boat. I couldn't believe how much nicer it was than my chevy with the performance. I had to one up him and get the Dodge with all the options. Turned out in the beginning it was the wrong thing to do. It is a nice truck but the first time we got snow and I went to use the 4wd it burned out a bunch of sensors, causing the lights to flash wipers to turn on by themselves tail lights to flash all the electronics just did what they wanted to do. Dodge did not have a fix for this issue right away. I had to bring it in a few times before the problem was actually corrected. No problems since. Now I love the truck.

I reluctantly purchased a 6 cylinder 2008 Ram Quad with an automatic trans. I have been pleasantly surprised. Even on long trips through the mountains, it did fairly well. Fuel economy has averaged 21 MPG, much better than my Fords (16.5) and competitive with my Chevys (22). However this powertrain is not meant for aggressive drivers. It is not terribly slow, but patience is required.
