All, in all a great Truck. Fuel Economy...,well, it is a Truck. Rust problem over Drivers side, rear wheel well is an obvious Factory design problem. Any Dodge Ram Dealer will look at you like this is the first time that they have heard this. Guy next to me at same Ram Dealer Body Shop, same problem! Mine is Silver, his is,Blue. Thanks, Fiat! Guess that I should have bought, the Blue one......! Undergraduate, Military Vet, Retired LE. GREAT JOB, CHRYSLER!

I bought my 2011 Dodge Ram 1500 ST truck in July of 2022. It had 133k on the odometer and now has 145k. I drive a lot and been driving mopars for decades! This is probably my favorite all time vehicles and I didn't even get the best year. This is the year of the tipm Chinese relay issue Mopar tried to skate around like GM does. Mine has the fuel pump on a stand alone relay probably installed at the dealership or repair shop. But the truck runs great and I can't believe how smooth the ride is. I have the 3.7L V6 that everyone likes to bash. It's said to have poor fuel economy and so far I would have to concur that reality. I use full synthetic oil and fuel injection cleaner in the tank from time to time plus cleaned out the throttle body and put in top of the line spark plugs from njk and the fuel economy didn't improve much. But I tow for a living and my fuel economy sucks anyway. I would say it's the same as a hemi that you get a lot more performance from. I do love the quiet ride and feel of the inside vs my 15, 17, 19 all new, and 2020 classic Rams. I love the Ram 4th gen line but had a horrible experience in the all new 2019 Ram 1500. That truck is a lemon!!!! So the truck is about 12 years old now and the body looks great! Doors and latches are working like new. Engine is super smooth and doesn't leak oil. I replaced the main belt, and hoses as precautions. Also been flushing and changing fluids, like brake, power steering, antifreeze. I will be doing the transmission and rear gear next. So far all fluids look good. Shifts good even when towing. I was surprised when I am not towing and pass on a two lane highway. The rpms are high but the truck will go when the pedal is smashed :) my 17 Ram was the 3.6L all aluminum engine and that was by far a more powerful engine but lacked in sound and refinement. Sometimes when driving the 17 Ram there was a lag or delay when trying to accelerate. Something I don't notice on this truck. All in all I would recommend this Ram as it's stood up to the test of time and still runs strong. Not hard to imagine what it was like brand new.

This is the first pickup truck that I've owned and I couldn't be more impressed. I never thought I'd buy a Dodge, but I took a test drive after reading all the positive reviews and I was blown away. The ride is incredibly smooth, even over rough terrain, and the acceleration with the Hemi is effortless. The interior is comfortable, and loaded with features that make driving this truck a blast. I've just reached 9000 miles without any issues and I have absolutely no regrets about this purchase. Nice job Dodge!

Bought '11 Hemi Express 2WD new at Dealership 3 mos ago.(9/2011) Was Ad truck at @ $19,500 with ST package on top of Express Package. Does not have limited slip or carpet. Has 3.21 rear gear. Have 6k miles. Typically get 16 mpg combined. High of 17.7 low of 14.2 Its been great so far, I'm a big dodge fan after owing a '06 SRT8 charger & '02 2500 4wd V10 The truck is tight and lacks any rattles or moans. Hemi has lots of performance and with 5 speed auto with VVT and 2nd Gen. Cylinder De Activation it's a seemless and modern power plant. Perfect platform for customizing thanks to Ram group and Stacy David of Gearz for the inspiration. Disc brakes are great and interior is quiet & comfortable.

Used 2011 Ram 1500 Quad

I bought a 2011 used Ram 1500 Quad (SLT). I've had it 8 weeks now, so I'm still in the "honeymoon stage". That said; so far it's a great truck. The ride is exceptional in the front seats. The rear seat is cramped (it's a quad not a crew). The quad has more bed length. I have the 4.7, not the Hemi (5.7). On the highway, I get 22mph. With easy city driving, I'm avg. 17 (with the AC off). It has a quiet, smooth ride. The quality apppears to be there inside and out. I have not towed with it yet.
