Faults:

The only bad thing about the truck is the seats start to wear after a long time, and the dash (under the wind shield) is made of cheap plastic, and tends to crack and break.

I love my Dodge Ram! This truck is amazing, sounds great with straight pipes, and has more power than you would expect.

My truck has a ton of miles on it, and I have had no problems whatsoever.

The cab is roomy and comfortable, and it gets warm in the truck pretty fast, even with the heat off.

No matter how large your load is, it will tow it.

I'm getting 22 mpg in the city and on country roads, and 24 on the highway. Sounds crazy I know, but I have calculated it, and the overhead computer tells me it's true.

It will outrun a Ford or a Chevy any day of the week.

Anyone that has bought a Ram and is having problems with it, is either not taking care of it, or the previous owner beat the crap out of it and didn't take care of it. If you take care of your truck, the truck will take care of you.

I, like many others, had ABS light on, check engine light on, and speedometer was not working. Heard about the ABS speed sensor, and it was the one on the middle of the rear axle, you have to look for it, unplug it and twist it off and out of the axle, The new one was around $25.00, and went in much easier. After putting it on, I took the negative battery cable off and turned the key over 2 or 3 times, this resets the codes. All lights went off, and the speedometer started working again. For those of you with this problem, it is not the sensor on the transmission, and you have to undo your battery cable and do the key to reset your codes. Hope this helps!!

Very nice looking truck, drives very good, have had very little problems with it.

Actually the only problem I have had is the A. C drain out is leaking onto my floor board. I love my Dodge, I do not love the gas mileage, but that is to be expected when you have a V-8 in it. And oh yes the drivers seat is already worn out.

"Seats need to be re-designed" they are made "Cheaply"

The truck is very comfortable inside and runs good when it is not broken.
