2008 Dodge Ram 2500 consumer reviews

Like dodge trucks great to tow horses very confertable take it camping love road trips ok what else would you like me to write

We were happy with finding a truck with low mileage at a good price. We look forward to using it to haul our 5th wheel camper.

Tom at Prestige Auto in Forest Junction was very friendly, and helpful and was not pushy. This is a little town but the selection of trucks was great.

Apparently the salesman we spoke to lastnight was the "General Manager," truck has been sitting there since early Dec wouldn't budge on sticker which is probably why. Truck has a lot of dents and rust bubbles as well as underbody rust. Blinkers are not working properly and salesman blames it on led interior lights. Hard set glue on windshield from tuner, decent truck but not worth 23,900. Wouldn't even come down to 23,000. It will be there awhile if they do not come down on price! Also shifts very hard.

Powerful truck for the price. No problems, love the ride and dependability. Dodge supported their product extremely well.

I have owned my PW for 2 yrs now and it's the best truck I have owned. I keep on reading reviews people wishing it had a cummins. The last thing I need is a 1300 lb engine weighing me down in the bush. The hemi is more than capable. It rides/hauls/tows and wheels like a truck should. If I want to save on fuel I'll by a smart car. If I want a truck with a cushy ride, I'll by an Impala and take the trunk lid off. Thanks Dodge for keeping an old idea going strong. No other production truck compares.

This is by far the best truck I have owned. I have owned a Ford and a Chevy and this one tops both of them in ALL categories!

First I had a 2004 Ram 1500 Laramie quadcab 4x4 hemi and it was a sweet ride and when we needed a truck to haul our new 34 foot travel trailer decided a 2008 Ram 2500 Megacab 4x4 would be the answer. Thats where things went bad, first this thing rides like a tank and just about knocks your filling out over bumps (why would any manufacturer spec tire pressures of 60f/70r in a truck that is rated to tow less than their own 1/2 tons)to start this 38 trips to the shop in 23 months. 3 windshield wiper motors, 3 blower motors, replaced intermediate steering shaft twice, all the steering components once and a couple twice and the truck still drives like it's on marbles and just wants to wander around, I got used to that but try that with a 34 foot trailer out back. Cruise control works only when it wants to, replaced all the doors and motors on the heater box and then had to replace the entire heater box assy and I won't even know if it works till it hits -35 this coming winter. Everything in the truck rattles or squeaks and the wind noise about makes you want to cut your ears off. The latest we are waiting for a new front wheel bearing and cruise control buttons the god only knows what will happen. The service managaer has admitted this is the worst truck he has ever seen. It is bad enough that Chrysler Canada extended the bumper to bumper from 60,000Km to the 100,000km of the power train but of course they won't replace the truck. I can't even count the number of hours of lost work taking this thing to the shop. And of couse the sales dept would gladly get me out of it for a measly 10 to 15k more for a 2008 quadcab diesel. Gotta love a truck that less than 2 years old is worth way less than half what you paid for it to trade in. This will be the last Dodge I own and I am stuck with this piece of junk for another few years till the loan gets rightside up. I fear whenthe warranty is gone in abt another month this thing will end up setting in the yard broken and I will still be paying through the nose for it and does Dodge care??? Only in your wildest dreams. I get sick to my stomach every time I get in this thing now and it is my daily driver.

I bought my Dodge Quadcab 2500 4x4 Laramie used, with only 2400 miles. It was a demo. It has twice the power of my old '99 Chevy Silverado ext. cab with the 6.0 liter gas engine. The Dodge was purchased so I can tow my 28' fifth wheel and for travel to work (70 mile RT). I do a lot of geocaching so I needed something a little taller than my old Chevy (besides it had 154,000+ miles and I had already replaced a warped manifold). This truck has everything I want. Although the leather seats are stiff and give a rougher ride, they do wear well and are easy to clean. The extra center bins are great for storing things like maps. The DVD player in the back is great for long trips with my adult children. My two issues: 1) The GPS system is fairly old technology and requires a DVD. It can't be refreshed by PC; I need to buy a new disk for $200 from Dodge. The 2nd issue is with the particulate filter; it constantly clogs up even when I am driving at 70 for long distances (600 miles). The dealer (65 miles away) has worked on it numerous times, but it still clogs up. Other than these items, it is a great truck and the 4x4 works pretty well. Be aware that the 2500 is only a 3/4 ton, not like the Chevy 2500HD, which is a 1 ton. I miss the extra capacity, but I am making do. If I were to replace it, I would buy the 1 ton so a truck camper would fit better.

This Dodge 2500 Mega Cab,4x4,6.7 Cummins,6spd.auto, is the best of the best vehicle,I ever owned in 58 years,& I owned a bunch in my 58 years of life.I highly recommend any Dodge Truck,they are superior.
