Used 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 for Sale

Well I've had my Dodge Ram 1500 truck since 2006. It was used and was a smooth quiet ride for years. Gas mileage not so great due to the fact it is a V-8 engine in the truck. This truck is the third Dodge Ram 1500 I have owned, and I still currently have them all, and they are all running. The reason I am sharing this information with you here is because all three trucks are just five years apart in age, and they all have the same problem that arose on each one around the 80,000 mileage mark. The shocks and springs are noisy as all get out, and it's embarrassing to drive slowly through my subdivision because you can hear them a whole street away from me when I drive. It sounds like rusty old metal scraping, ugh. My mechanic says I don't need new shocks or springs, and he oiled them for me and that lasted about a month. The mechanic said that the Dodge Ram trucks seem to pretty much all have this same issue. The ride is smooth, and the noise level is loud to this problem with these trucks. The truck is a great workhorse and is dependable, so I highly recommend them to friends and family, but I would suggest buying ear plugs around the 80,000 mile mark on the odometer.

This Dodge 1500 pick-up is a dream truck. With a HEMI engine, it has adequate towing capacity for a two-horse trailer and plenty of cargo space for all of the extra gear. The easy lift back seats hide two cargo pits underneath a flat shelf. Over 50,000 miles and there is no rattle, the interior is in good shape and comfortable for those long drives. The long bed provides ample space for hauling feed, tools, furniture or just about anything one can think of moving. With 27" tires, the sports package sets the body up higher than standard. Need extra storage? The console opens up and accommodates spare change with dividers to keep the coins separated. Flip the console up and the middle seat opens to another well for storage. The dashboard keeps everything within reach for radio, CD, drinks, and sunglasses. Electric window and mirror controls make adjustments a breeze. Easy access controls help monitor fuel consumption and direction of travel, plus the outside temperature. Cruise control helps prevent any speeding tickets. Add a spray in liner for the truck bed and it is all set to go. Work or pleasure, the truck handles it all. As with many trucks, it can strain your wallet on fuel. Gas mileage averages about 15-20 mpg.

I have driven this truck well over 30,000 miles with it having over 100,000 miles in total. There are no mechanical flaws with this truck yet. The interior is of great quality and has withstood a lot of abuse with hauling loads and miscellaneous items back and forth across town. The truck bed can hold a lot of weight. I have at one time hauled over 2,000 pounds of nails in the bed of the truck and it held up without problem or complaint. The plastic liner that came with the truck is still in really good shape even after much abuse from moving things into and out of the bed.
