RAM 2500 -- gulp!
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.
Poor
I have been driving Dodge/Chrysler products for fifteen years. My 2005 Dodge pick-up is the worst Dodge/Crysler product I have ever owned. It is pretty sad when you can get stuck in your front yard and have people in two wheel drive vehilces drive by you. I am a local business owner in town and I require the use of 4 wheel drive trucks. Based on my experience I will never own another Dodge truck and will tell people this when they ask me how I like my truck.

Anything less is just a car!
The rear seating being uncomfortable is the biggest complaint we've had from everyone that has sat in the back of our truck. The front middle storage compartment/ seat can't be adjusted to move forward so the person in the back has to have short legs or bear having the seat back on his knees.
