So far with about 11,000 miles, no problems, rides good, handles well. I tow a 15,000 pound 38 foot RV back and forth from New York to Florida with no problems. More than enough power and the automatic transmission works well. For a 1 ton truck it rides well, my back doen't bother me on my trips. I tried out a Ford, but the Cummings is far superior.
Great truck for the money

I traded a '02 1500 QC 4x4 on this truck and have not regretted it yet. The power of the CTD engine is unmatched to any gas engine on the market or any other diesel as far as I'm concerned. I just rolled 10K on the odometer and can't wait until this engine is broken in. Fuel economy to date is better than my gasser ever was.

2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 4dr Quad Cab SLT 4WD LB DRW (5.7L 8cyl 5M)

CD player doesn't eject, back up lights don't work, and grab handle broke with 175 lb person lifting themselves in, but the power of the Cummins HO is good, the interior noise level is excellent for a diesel, and the mileage is good. The rear seats are cramped for full size adults, but fine for kids. The six speed manual is a little bit of a pain around town, but when towing it is really nice to know what gear you are in and when you will be shifting. The factory tires only have roughly 10-15,000 miles left on them and I only have 20,000 miles on the truck. Rotate every 5k miles, but they just seem to be cheap tires. So far moderately happy with truck. Paint is a little soft. Scratches easily

Best vehicle I've ever owned. Bought it new in Feb 05. Got 374k and still going strong. The 5.9 purrs, or maybe roars. Shows it getting around 21 mpg but if I put a pencil and paper to it, it's closer to 16mpg. Don't trust the computer. 2/2020 now. Still the best vehicle I've ever owned.

I have had my 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT Quad Cab DRW 4x4 Cummins Turbo Diesel for almost a year now and it is still the biggest baddest most powerfut truck on the road to date. It is the best truck I have ever had. Having a Cummins under the hood just makes me sleep better at night.
