Decent truck

This is a good truck. I've owned Chevy's and Ford's, so I know both of the other main brands. The Dodge 1500 holds up to the others.

Best truck I've ever owned, and I've owned several

Previous truck was a Silverado. Loved it at the time but the Dodge surpassed it! This one has every option offered at the time. That, along with the Hemi, made this an awesome vehicle! Extremely reliable and performs as well today as the day I bought it! Only reason I'm selling it is because I'm upgrading to a Ram 2500 diesel!

Traded in a Jeep for the truck

I love my first owned truck. There is so much more room. I love the way it drives and the lift on it. I never would of thought I could afford a truck until yesterday.

The MOST reliable truck I have owned!

Never broken down or left me stranded, always started. Great truck! I have used it for work, hauling, and 4 wheeling. The quad cab was more then roomy for the family. Kept for 10 years and bought another just like it.

Great truck always wanted from when I was young.

Wonderful ride, always wanted a truck and loved the way they looked, that was talked out of getting just because of my family size it was not the best option at this time. But totally loved the ram!

Getting what you need.

This truck fulfilled what I needed at the time of purchase. I put on truck 171,000 and knew it would give me twice as many as I had on it as Long as I did maintenance on truck.

so far, so good

recently purched truck with 96,000 miles on it. prev owner took excellent care. still looks brand new, zero rust, etc. truck feels great driving. mine is a Laramie 4WD. the interior is pretty lack luster. losts of plastic, cup holders arent tall enough and no air vents to back seat. but over all its a great truck.

Worst gas mileage of any truck on the road

Make sure you khow the truck, 08 RAM 1500 4x4 mega cab SXT. The truck looks great, I love the interior space and it rides decent. I have taken very good care of the truck. Absolutely no rust and I have always done the maintenance myself so I can see first hand on how things are looking underneath. The truck runs perfectly but I can hardly afford to drive it due to the HORRIBLE GAS MILEAGE. I average 6.8 mpg towing and 8.7 mpg not towing. So this is no where near what I should be getting. Very disappointing in dodge hemi engines. They have never built a gas engine for there trucks that has ever been worth it.
