2011 Ram 1500 Sport 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

2 of 5 people found this review helpful

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!

I've owned my 2011 Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 with the 4.7 & 5 speed auto since new. It was relatively trouble free until it hit the 10 year mark. I had regular maintenance at the dealer only...all oil changes, repairs and recalls etc through the dealer. Had replaced the CV axles twice and the steering rack once in that time. I use my truck like a truck - it gets worked hard and put away dirty. Currently at 225,000km (140,000 miles) and almost everything but the transmission has gone bad. In the last 18 months (30,000km/18,000 miles) I have replaced: - Brake pads and rotors all the way around (for the third time) - Both upper control arms and ball joints - Lower ball joints - Power steering rack - Front struts and rear shocks, plus suspension linkages and bushings - TIPM fusebox, which had a relay go out and caused a short to the fuel pump, causing the truck to randomly shut off and/or drain the battery - Wireless Ignition Module (WIN), for a no-start issue - Fan clutch - Blower motor - catalytic converter and y-pipe - both exhaust manifolds - now have some ticking lifters that have failed, meaning more motor work ($$$) This was a great truck when new, and I have put mostly highway miles on it, with only synthetic oil at the dealer every 5000km/3000 miles without fail. Today, I would not recommend buying one used. I will continue to spend money fixing this truck, because there's not much difference between my 2011 and a 2023 "Classic" Ram other than the centre console, a more efficient transmission, and slightly better MPG. I'd rather pay $7k to replace the engine than spend $60k (Canadian) to buy essentially the exact same truck.....the $50k+ difference will buy me a lot of fuel for many years to come.
