2012 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 - Perfect Family Truck

I absolutely love our Dodge Ram 1500. The ride is exceptionally smooth. We were able to take our 80+ year old Grandmother on the vacation of her dreams in it and never once did she have any issue with back pain caused by jostling like she has in other vehicles. The cab is spacious and comfortable, whether its just my family of 3 out on a shopping trip or my husband and a cab full of guys headed to a firefighting training event. Everyone who has chanced to ride in it is always impressed at the details, capacity, and smoothness. The only complaint we’ve ever had is that its difficult to climb into since it has 22 inch wheels and we nixed the step up bar. However I will say I am only 5’1” and have not problems, so I think the issue lies in the individual’s health, not the truck manufactur... (more)

Story

We were traveling home from a vet appointment on a rainy day with average visibility going about 60 mph down the Highway 34 in Iowa. I was in the middle front with my Rat terrier next to me buckled in the front passenger seat. My husband was driving and our son and our Airedale terrier were secured in the back seat. We were in the left hand lane and off to my right side I noticed a white SUV g... (more)

Pros

There are a huge number of positive attributes that this vehicle has. First, and foremost are the safety features. The wide base and 4-wheel drive make it sure and sound on slick wintery roads in the north. The height of the truck keeps a little flash flooding and other minor road obstructions far from the frame, assuring my husband will make it home to me every night, no matter what might stand in the way of a sedan. The frame of this beast can take a hit too! Within the first 3 years of ownership we have it 3 deer and been hit by an SUV. The whole family was along for the first deer and ... (more)

Cons

In my experience there are very few if any cons, so I will start with what others have told me. The chief complaint of other passengers has been that it is difficult to get into. In their defense we do have 22” wheels and no running board. This is definitely not the first choice of vehicle for handicapped persons. However if you are “short” but in good physical condition you should have not issues. There are plenty of well positioned grab bars to aid in entry if needed. I also hear people worry about gas mileage because trucks are by, in large, for being gas guzzlers. For us, this has actu... (more)

2010 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 - I LOVE MY TRUCK

This is the perfect vehicle for life at the beach. I have a short bed, so its easy to fit into parking spots, but big enough to haul even double kayaks ( I have worked as a kayak ecoguide), a real plus when delivering or picking up kayaks from tourists. Because I have 22" RIMS, I am high enough above the 70,000 cars each season to avoid pedestrians and other cars. This is a real concern here on the island. This truck is my hurricane kit as well. It goes through lots of water securely, and I keep it packed and ready to go. I'm pretty sure it would float! Mechanics are great, all I do is put oil and gas in it (HOPE THIS DOESN'T JINX IT!). The econo feature, which cuts cylinders in stalled traffic, works great. My mileage is about 19 mpg, which is good enough to keep me from feeling guilt... (more)

Story

Well, the bridge to get onto the island is quite high to accommodate the shrimp boats, so bringing a 6' armoire home from the thrift store was exciting. There were three adults in the front seat (fit great), and all we had was string to hold it in over the open tailgate. It worked though, no casualties.

Pros

Satellite radio, 22" rims, greatest acceleration in the universe, really. Which necessitates frequent tire rotations, but totally worth it. You know, at the risk of sounding silly (I AM a little old lady), the imposing grill and upfront presentation really help in getting out into traffic, which during season is not an easy task. (We get lots of New Yorkers here.) I can also stop on a dime when necessary. Oh yeah, the best part, when I'm waiting in traffic for hours to get off island, half my cylinders take a break, so the gas mileage is great. That's important for someone on a fixed income.

Cons

I can't really think of ANY negatives for my RAM 1500. It is a joy to own. It's a single cab, non electric anything (in case it goes into a canal), with a short bed, tow package, and 22" rims. It's perfect.

2013 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 - Reliable and Great Fuel Mileage

The Ram 2013 1500 5.7 Hemi is an great and dependable vehicle that has provided great and dependable service for me and my family for the last two years with no problems. The power of this vehicle as served me well in the area I live in which is rural farm land. On one than one occasion it has pulled me and family members out of a big jams. I've pulled other 4 wheel drive trucks out of the mud when they were unable to and on more than one occasion pulled the company dozer on a trailer to get repaired over 200 miles almost like nothing was even behind me. The fuel mileage has been the best part getting fairly consistently 18 miles to the gallon, minus hauling big loads obviously. My last truck I owned before buying this was my 2005 Ram 1500 which for 8 years and 140,000 miles later... (more)

Story

One time I had a neighbor who had backed their 2008 Honda into grass past their driveway after a big rainstorm and got stuck. They asked their neighbor to the other side to get their 2010 Chevy to pull them out and got bogged. I had to show up and pull them both out of the mud and had ZERO issues getting them out.

Pros

Great fuel mileage. Quiet cab. Excellent power. Extremely roomy interior.

Cons

Non-chrome bumpers. Wheel wells lining is thin plastic.
