2003 Dodge Ram 2500 consumer reviews

I purchased my truck new on Dec 31, 2002. It is an 03 crew cab, short box, Cummins HO, 6 speed manual. I still own it today with 315,000 miles very few repairs, oil change every 5K, 3 front end rebuilds, one water pump, a fan clutch, a new drivers seat pad and bottom cover, and a steering gear box. Surprisingly enough, I still have factory injectors. Absolutely the best truck I have ever owned BY FAR. Still gets up to 27 MPG and can pull just about anything you hook onto it. still looks new inside and out. I recently converted it to a dually to make it even more stable pulling my fifth wheel. Seems to be worth more today than what I paid for it 20 years ago.

Long time problem with severe front wheel shimmy. I hear they issued a recall but now I’m told not true for my 2500 4door cab.

The newer cummins 6.7l diesels have a variable turbocharger, which is not as reliable. They are also strangled by extensive pollution devices including DEF fluid. These modern additions do NOT add to reliability and most definitely negatively affect fuel economy. This truck and engine combination will run forever.

Never laid anything on dash cleaned it monthly but it cracked in five spots so far. They should recall them an have to fix them

Great Fuel mileage for a 7000 lb truck. Very comfortable and Extremely reliable. Was used for work camping and towing for the past 10 years.

Injectors and fuel lines trash not even 150,000 miles needs overhaul multiple clutches dash bust like Christmas ornaments front end gets death wobble turning curves past 70

This vehicle will do what you expect for a 3/4 ton truck with a tow package installed. Mechanically, the truck is in excellent condition. You would not be disappointed in the performance.

Used it every day for my work. easy truck to deal with. normal issues repaired. the con, was the dash board and paint quality .

It?s reslly nice and in great condition, not worth selling, would definitely keep it. Great for both work and family trips. Snow plow was included

Very reliable runs drives like a new ve hicle pulls 12000 pound loaded trailer like its nothing . The truck get 20 miles to gallon empty and 16 pulling the load it has proven to be a great pickup
