Used 2003 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 Consumer Reviews
60,000 miles
Trouble with fuel guage required tank removal and was not covered by guarantee. Early replacement of all 16 spark plugs was costly. Mileage is unsatisfactory. Steering is too sensitive to road bumps. Differential shudders in slow turns. Hemi engine requires special care (extra oil) As a towing vehicle, the truck is satisfactory, and I tow a 30-foot travel trailer or usually tow a fishing boat.
silver bullet
a fine truck,silver color looks great, had a 2002 4x2 with 4.7, had to move up to the hemi 5.7,it has lots of get up and go, I recomend this truck over a ford any day. very sturdy ride, turning is smooth, have st model, get the power locks and window option if you can. I did not and wish I could have. see ya on the road.

Great truck
Wonderful economy for a 3/4 ton truck. I can get about 18 MPG average w/no trailer and 13 MPH with about 10k pounds of cattle and trailer. My kids love the rear seat and there is plenty of storage room. Two complaints: More lumbar support would be nice and my driver side grab handle came loose 2 weeks after I bought the truck. I am 6'0 195, so I should not be too large for it. I am going to get a 2005 for the added HP and torque.
My big Dodge
I've never had a vehicle as fun to drive as my big Ram. I've got the Cummins HO Turbodiesel I-6 instead of the Hemi, and it's like having an F14 afterburner strapped in the bed. While it's not as sprightly as my old Integra, it handles very very well for 4 tons of steel. I'll be watching for starting hassles as the weather gets colder, but nothing so far
1st time Ram Buyer
after 15 years of driving ford trucks this new Dodge Ram 2500 with the 5.7 Hemi is one great truck.it looks good,sounds great and is quick for such a heavy truck. one draw back Dodge could put a little more thought into sound systems.
