Dodge Ram.. simply the best!

We walked away from a black Ice rolloverat 60 mph. With no roll bar! This truck is sturdy and the Hemi gets great gas mileage with the MDS system.

Ram is ok but....

Ok so I test drove an 08 with 87,000 miles. She moves, lots of power. Nice simple interior. The bad? The MDS system(its cuts the motor down to 4 cylinders). Its not noticeable with the stock exhaust but the one I drove had a performance exhaust so you can hear the engine constantly change from 8-4 & it makes the truck sound like crap. Dodge get rid of this please.

This truck was my faithful companion

I bought this truck in TX for a business, then drove to AZ with all my belongings in it to start another life. This truck has accompanied me on many adventures around AZ, and even sheltered me during a rough time when I lost my place to live. Always started, always ran well, always there when I needed it. Super well built, never any quality complaints, solid RAM construction. After 120k miles I wore out the clutch, but after being replaced it's going strong again. First RAM I've owned, but now I am definitely a fan!

Nice overall for the money

It lacks in newer technology but overall a very competitive truck for price. It lacks a bit of horsepower when towing. And could use a better stereo system

Pile of crap. Gas burning money pit.

Will never buy a dodge truck again! Has cost me in the thousands of dollars for fuel pump replacements Now the tierod end broke while driving. Would enjoy watching this pile of crap burn. Is a 2008 .Just paid off. Amount of repair bills last 2 years exceeds 3000.$$. Never dodge again.

I have been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, it's made it hard to get up in my big girl. (ram) Custom interior all done in RAM.black and Red. It's also fuel flex so it's good on gas for the size. Everything works perfectly. Clean title, clean carfaz, always up to date on service. It does have the recall on passenger tocata airbag but The man I took care of died in 2017, I continued to take care of his farm. He was in the military for 70 years and died at age 95 in my arms. He gave it to me. His greedy kids made me pay. That's oVERY LOW MILES- Silver 2008 Dodge Ram 1500. 4.7L Automatic 4wd, tow package, lift package, bed liner. ☆Great, immaculate☆truck.
