Used 2004 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 for Sale

There are not many negatives with a Dodge Ram 1500. I am short, so the height of the vehicle makes entering the cab a bit of a challenge. Hand holds are available to assist in entry, but it can be a bit of a hassle if you are entering and exiting the truck frequently. The passenger seat has very limited adjustments available, making it somewhat difficult to see all of your surroundings. I wish the passenger side was a little more user-friendly. It can be difficult to adjust the radio or temperature from the right seat. The climate control panel is not lighted, which makes adjusting the temperature in the cab difficult at night. The large console in the middle of the front seat can somewhat obstruct movement. The gas mileage, while very good for a truck, is very low compared to smaller vehicles. I find myself spending more on gas than I'd like, but I am also aware that is the trade-off for towing and hauling ability. I would have liked to choose a smaller engine, but the large Hemi is required to take full advantage of the Ram's towing abilities.

I only have a very basic model and don't like the lack of power features. If I were to buy another I would get some upgrades. Also the gas mileage is pretty bad for the model I purchased. The radio is just okay, but once again that was my choice. Replacement tires are a bit expensive for this vehicle which is another con. I also wish I would have purchased perhaps a 2500 because the towing capacity of the 1500 is a little low.
