Later years of GM & Ford, Dodge cured what ailed.

My begetter instilled GM into me at a very immature historic period and that a Chevy truck was the ONLY one to have aaaand maybe slip in a Ford once in awhile just to confirm y'all should've bought that Chevy. Well, after years of going with how I was raised when it came to buying trucks, and getting fed up with blown transmissions, gauges that seemed to always fail, or sitting off the highway waiting for roadside aid, I became curious about what Contrivance had to offer. 2006 my first Dodge of any kind, but not any kind of Dodge. 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT Coiffure Cab Alone Star Edition rwd with v.7l Hemi. Wow from the get become! So I'grand gonna defer with the expected poor fuel efficiency and tell y'all about how bad ass information technology is that I take one of the most reliable, most capable, powerful, beast of a heavy donkey truck that gets slap-up mileage, all while enjoying a comfortable car like interior, but having a commanding view of what's downwards the road alee, with a conviction of reliability like I've never known before. I've never owned a more powerful vehicle in my life able to booty & tow whatever needed, and practice it without even the slightest fleck of hesitation. Fuel efficiency? With 375 lb ft of torque, coupled with 345 horses... Come on, your not buying a Prius folks. What your getting is the reassurance your truck tin do what you need information technology to, and so some, and so some more. I boilerplate thirteen-fourteen mpg's in town, however this is ok crusade I'yard non driving for any blazon of people send, and I average 21 mpg'south on the highway. Pretty damn expert for the over 6500lbs of truck I'm driving. The only thing I will say I practise not similar is the braking, numb is the discussion I'd apply, and no everything with the braking system is to par it's just how information technology feels to me... numb. Overall couldn't be more satisfied in a truck... Reliability has been smashing... Zippo but normal maintenance: oil & transmission fluid changes, bombardment, restriction pads, an occasional bespeak or headlight seedling. Still today 2020 everything works, normal maintenance, same fuel mileage, nonetheless capable, and I've learned also that one of the dainty things about driving a Ram with a 5.vii l Hemi is knowing that you have zippo to prove. Cruising down the highway it will still beat or go along up the best of them!

I take a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500. For some reason dodge wired the fuel pump relay direct into the circuit board in the fuse box. And then you lot guessed it, when your fuel pump relay because a problem you accept to supercede the whole fuse box. $1000 fix. Won't be buying another Dodge pickup. Very poor engineering.

More reliable than my GMC

By PeteGC from Charleston, SC

Used to ain this machine

The truck met my needs and impressed everyone that rode in it. It was a solid ride with plenty of pulling power but had the worst turning radius of any truck I've owned, great sound system , poor radio and very poor gas mileage.

This Contrivance RAM 1500 fabricated me honey owning a truck. This was my field and subcontract truck, bully for navigating metropolis streets, country roads and hunting fields. Powerful v.7L Hemi engine got me where I needed to get, towed my boat, hauled and moved furniture, supplies and equipment. Shine, confident ride that has enough of life, thank you to engine work done by a professional mechanic who restores vehicles to better than new. Recently moved into a smaller home in town and need to detect a new domicile for the truck as my needs have changed. If you're looking for a practical ride that performs well, this should exist your next best ride.
