Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Powerful engine choices, huge payload and towing capacities, comfortable interior, compliant ride, numerous safety features.
Cons
- Stunted standard bed, no high torque gas engine available, fewer body configurations than the competition.
What’s new
The Laramie model gains more flash via a new grille, body molding and interior accents. A hands-free cell phone with Bluetooth technology is now available, as is a new Off-Road package and a navigation system. Lastly, the Magnum V10 engine is dropped from the power plant roster.
Edmunds says
Although the mighty V10 has been dropped, the heavy-duty Ram still offers serious diesel power, stout suspensions and a well-built, functional interior that makes it an impressive package for hard-core truck users.

Amazing Truck
snowtime, 09/13/2004
2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 4dr Quad Cab SLT 4WD SB (5.9L 6cyl Turbodiesel 6M)
Have a Ram 3500 HO diesel. In a word
the truck is phenomenal. It drives
like a 1/2 ton, it's comfortable,
reliable, has great looks (I recommend
the sport package), and has
unbelievable power. I live in snow
country and it drives through snow (no
matter how deep) like it's not there.
I actually pulled 2 (yes, two) trucks
out that were both stuck in the snow
(an older … dodge and a ford), and my
3500 pulled them both out together!
As if all of this isn't enough, I
average about 14 mpg around town and
always get over 20 mpg on the highway
(makes you think the fuel gauge is
stuck). The Big 3 all
make good trucks - but none better
than this one.

2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 4dr Quad Cab SLT Rwd SB (5.9L 6cyl Turbodiesel 6M)
Had my 04 for 3.5 years now. Have had to replace 3 lights (1-fog, 1 headlight and 1 brake light) and the lift pump. Replaced my Michelins with Bridgestones and am still "paying" for them. Cost me almost 5 mpg. Still get 22+ , but the 28 @ 62 mph was pretty sweet. She loves 75 and 80 , but you better have deep pockets , 17 mpg empty 10.5 pulling fully enclosd car trailer. Bought it when I … retired hoping it would easily outlast me. So far so good .

2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 4dr Quad Cab SLT 4WD SB (5.9L 6cyl Turbodiesel 6M)
I bought this truck so i could
transport everyone in the household in
one vehicle instead of two. This truck
is also able to do the work that i need
it to do. This truck rides like a dream
you would never think a one ton truck
could ride so good. My old 1988 half
ton Dodge didn't ride as good.

2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 4dr Quad Cab Laramie 4WD LB DRW (5.7L 8cyl 5M)
I have had ford, chevy, dodge, and toyota and this is by far and away the best i have had! I have 128,000 miles on my 2004 and have done basically nothing to it (brakes and universal joints) thats it. Reliable as it gets, whether its -30 degrees or 110 the truck will always start the first crank. Great towing capacity and stability. handles like a car and rides good (with a load in the … bed). The 4x4 is the most aggressive i have had. I bought a ford f-450 to replace this truck because i need a utility body and i do not like the ford at all! The dodge is superior in every way except for cabin room. Needless to say i am selling the ford and buying a dodge 4500 utility!!
