Excelent running truck...even in the cold winters. Starts up in sub-zero temps after sitting for at least 9 hours, without being plugged in, with no problem. Laramie package is comfortable, nice amenities.

Exhaust regenerate needed 1x week if in town driving only...not getting over 40 mph.

This truck has performed great in the winter. The interior is redesigned from my 08 Ram 1500 SXT. This is all around a wonderful truck and the Cummins reputation for durability is second to none. 17 mpg on highway, 9 mpg in town (with #1 Diesel and Power Service additive)

2008 Ram 1500. Test drove 2011 Ford F250 Powerstroke as well...just felt too cheap. Could not sacrifice the Cummins for a test rat engine like the new Powerstroke.

Cummins diesel
truck is built well

interior is a little plain and the seats arent as comfortable as my old Chevy. But the diesel and truck are far better.

24000 miles and nothing...nothing has gone wrong. The truck is capable of 14mpg in town and 18.5 to 20.7 mpg hand calculated highway. And it is a 3/4 ton so I dont have to worry when I haul the slide-in camper. First truck I have ever owned that has not had anything but oil changes in the first two years. Solid truck. The ride isnt bad although it can be a little bouncy on very rough roads. But then again, it is a truck and not a car. I expect the Cummins will go for several hundred thousand miles. Dont try that with a gas motor. Even though diesel is a bit more expensive I can run biodiesel with no downsides and the truck mileage is pretty efficient vs gas trucks I have owned...even 1/2 tons. The exhaust brake in the mountains means my brakes are lasting an unbelievably long time.

Not well built to say the least! Behind the times.

This was a very heavy duty truck at first glance, but that is all you can say about it. Cost a whopping $40,000 and was not worth half that. Had problems from the beginning. Heated up when pulling normal loads in mountains. Dealers said just pull over to cool it off!! Front tires wore out in half the time of normal 1 tons. Front suspension wore out at alarming rate and very expensive for parts to rapair it. Check engine light on often. Brakes shuttered when new. Rode rougher than competitors. All of this happened in 25,000 miles, so we traded and took loss rather than a law suite with Dodge. Was in the shop 3 months total during that time in 5 different dealers!!! Cummins may be a good engine, but not in a Dodge.

Very poor clearance under bumper and front end (ie. scraps or bottoms out in every little ditch). Very poor visibility over hood and windshield wipers. 40/20/40 front seat and nonremoveable plastic tray on floor. Only 2 passengers fit comforably, not a work truck.

Not very well thought out or design tested.

Five speed transmisson. When pulling with over drive off, shifts down to 3rd, I think they should have set it up to only drop to fourth (?)

This is my 3rd Dodge Ram. I wouldn't buy anything else. The Hemi is the best motor in a long time. I pull a 30 foot fifth wheel trailer (9,000 + lbs) like it's not even there. I average 13.7 city and 16.8 Highway (pulling trailer is 8.7 mpg) I'll have a better mpg idea pulling when I come back from vacation (1600 miles to check it out

Great engine, providing plenty of pulling power, and a strong 4x4 suspension for pulling loads over very rough terrian... Plush slt interior is very comfortable for long trips. At 70-72mph the truck is getting 19-21mpg with the cruise set for 3-4 hours at a time!

Back seat is hard as a rock, Truck came with a squeeky belt, I have tried to fix several times, but have not had the time to take back to Dodge to see if they would repair.

I bought this truck from Jennifer at Prebul Dodge July 2002, I have so far put over 41,000 miles on this truck, it has every option that it can have with the turbo diesel auto. I have run 80mph for hours on end with the truck way past gross... Even at this it maintained 9-11mpg.

5.9 diesel has lots of pulling power. I have a travel trailer that is in the 9000 lb range and this truck will pull it up any hil. My old 1996 5.9 gas really struggled on hills and in 60000 miles and 5 transmissions it was time to change.
