This truck has tons of power to make my boat go fast when it's out of water. Enjoy having the 4 doors, with 3 car seats in the back this truck still has plenty of room.

I bought this truck brand new. It really grows on you. The ride is very smooth on the highway and handles much better than most would think. I am a fishing guide and tow a 5200lb boat over two hundred days a year. The Hemi does fantastic. I am also 6'2 and have so much room in it. The only down side I have seen so far is if you are like me the rear seat passengers may be a little cramped if they are large adults. I have towed the boat now for almost 2500k so far so good. I will update this at 15k. I would suggest that if you plan on towing anything heavier than 8000lbs go with the diesel.

Traded in a 03f-350cc after test driving the dodge, what a difference.This truck rides and handles so much better.The power of the cummins is unreal. The only complaint is with the ford you get a lot of extras you dont with the dodge. No locking tail gate,no back-up sensor,no running boards...These are not expensive items but handy once you get used to having them. Get with it dodge!!

Overall, the fit, finish, and ride for the 2005 RAM 2500 with the HEMI is quite good. While the chassis is fairly stiff, the ride is reasonable. If you're expecting anything in terms of gas mileage, this isn't your truck. The HEMI works pretty hard at propelling the 6,000 lb truck down the road. If you're looking for a RAM 2500, spend the bucks and get the Cummins. The M5 tranny is for tow-mules only! Mileage is 11-12 in mixed hwy/cty driving mainly because 5th gear is way too high. 1st gear is a granny gear, effectively making this a 4 speed. Overall, it's a pretty decent truck but the Cummins drivetrain is a must. I'll probably sell my HEMI truck in a year.
