Review

I bought my truck new about a year ago. I opted for the proven 5.9L Cummins and automatic transmission. Power is awesome and fuel mileage is great considering the size and weight of the truck. I average about 20 MPG mixed driving. The heaviest load I ever pulled was about 6000 LBS; you don't even know it is back there. I am 6'2" and love the roomy interior. Seats were comfortable on a 1100 mile trip. This is my fifth Dodge Ram and the second with a Cummins. Before I bought this one I test drove a Duramax. No comparison!

Favorite Features

Sirius radio, navigation system, power, room, fuel consumption, and the bold looks.

Suggested Improvements

Offer larger tires; as soon as I bought my truck I put 295/70-17 Nitto's on it. That is the way the truck should look when it comes from the factory (my opinion). Offer some darker interior colors. Add Mopar tube steps for easier entry.

Review

I recently purchased my 2007 Ram Quad Cab 4x4 with the new 6.7 Cummins. Wow what a powerful machine. The 325hp is apparent when you hammer the throttle. Mileage wise not to bad either 15/18 only 4,000 miles on it so should get better as it breaks in. Comfortable seats but agree with other reviews that the material is a little soft. See over time how it wears.

Favorite Features

Cummins power, roomy interior, under seat storage, Sirius radio, exhaust brake, and the get out of my way front end.

Suggested Improvements

Factory tube steps or steps of some sort would make it easier for smaller framed people to get in and out of as it sits high.

Mega Cab 4x4

Review

This is my 4th brand new ram since 2000. The cummins is deffinetly the best of all diesels. It's proven itself several times with its towing, fuel economy and dependibilty. Not to fond of the new look of both the interior and exterior. The tires completely kill the look of the truck. My last ram was a Hemi sport and it definetly killed me having to upgrade to a pickup that doesn't look very appealing. Need to have a sport option and a darker color interior.

Favorite Features

Diesel power, back seat (2 kids w/1 on the way), infinity stereo, its a RAam.

Suggested Improvements

Dodge please improve interior, the new center console has no purpose except for clutter, the interior (cloth) is to light in color and the interior overall has no appeal except for size, I'm a huge fan of Ram's sport models but none are offered for mega cab, tires!!! Whats up with the tire size?

Last of the 5.9's

Review

After extensive analysis and research I opted to buy one of the last new 5.9 Cummins diesels. What a truck! It is like piloting a freight train. The power is truly awesome. We took the truck on a 1,400 mile trip and got 19 mpg going 75+ with the A/C on. It is very high off the ground. Side steps may be mandatory for some folks. The range on a tank of fuel is amazaing as well - over 600 miles. Got the "Big Horn" package and like all the "Heavy Duty" features. Of course the Sirius Radio is great and the seats are comfortable. The motor is truly and engineering masterpiece. I am glad I purchased one of the last relatively un- smogged Diesels. I fear the enviro reg's may ruin these.

Favorite Features

Cummins 5.9! Bold look and ride height. Unstoppable freight train attitude. Solid front axle; stout 4x4 system

Suggested Improvements

Nothing really. It is all that is hyped up to be. But, how about adjustable shocks (like Rancho's) that would allow you to soften the ride a bit when the load is light, no?

Great Mileage, needs better interior

Review

5.7L Cummings is very powerful, as much power as we'll ever need. Carry a 11ft loaded truck camper, had to add stabilizer, still needs airbags, squishy ride with big load, but still lots of power left in the Cummins. Lots of storage is great, fold down back seat is used frequently, can fit 2 kids and a big dog in the back seat easily. Needs more comfortable seats, no lumbar support and very hard. Tough on long trips, but the mileage with camper loaded is 14 including mountain passes. Empty commuting is getting 20-21 (75% freeway/25% in town). Not sure what it is on road trips w/o camper yet. Electrical system easy to wire to add things, simple. Too tall, need to have a stepstool to get in

Favorite Features

Power, mileage, storage, several plugs for cell phone/laptop, etc. Color (new bright blue color is great)

Suggested Improvements

Interior comfort, Too high for average size person to easily get in, older people can't get into the truck. Lower this thing, will ya? I don't want to have to buy another Chevy so I can take my parents out to dinner once in a while.

Great Truck

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 SLT 4dr Quad Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 6M)

Review

The best truck I ever bought (5.9 L Cummins). Fuel economy 18mpg city and nearly 20mpg highway with full cargo in the back after only 500 miles. Suggest filling tires with more air. Anti spin differential a must; body of truck more firm than 2002 model. A bit rougher on a bumpy road than my old 1999 Dodge truck.

Favorite Features

Power without having to pay high at the fuel pump. More room for the kids.

Suggested Improvements

Would have preferred the U-connect installed.

Nice truck, love the diesel engine. Body is lighter weight metal compared to my '05. Looks too much like a Mercedes on the dash.

Dodge 2500 Mega Cab

2007 Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 SLT 4dr Mega Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)

Review

This is the first Chrysler product I have owned and I am surprisingly pleased with the overall quality. The Cummins is very reliable and powerful. Used the plug in heater during the winter and had no problems with cold morning starts. As for traveling, my kids love the space in back. Trips are not a problem anymore. Mind you, this is a huge truck. Compact parking spots are not an option. Yet for the interior room and carrying capacity, I can walk the extra few feet. Entry and exit with the 4x2 is much easier than the 4x4. Although it is a truck, the ride is quite comfortable and the diesel noise is not overbearing. Fantastic buy. I am now hooked on Dodge.

Favorite Features

Size of Mega Cab. Cummins diesel- smooth and reliable. Six passenger seating.

Suggested Improvements

None.

A great truck and daily driver

Review

This is my third Dodge Ram, but I am not Dodge loyal. We spend too much money on vehicles to blindly buy one brand over another. I test drove the new Chevy and looked at the Fords. Ford diesel scares me due to the notorious problems, and the Chevy's new interior was undesirable, at least to me. Mine is the 5.9l Diesel, but that was not selectable above. So far I've been on several trips, and the fuel mileage has gone up with every fill up. Currently I am getting 19.5 mpg hwy and 13 mpg city. My commute is only 4 miles with 6 stop lights so my city mileage is absolute worst case scenario. The Cummins is a great add on; resale and reliability of the diesel makes the extra cost worth it.

Favorite Features

The Cummins just feels unstoppable. I've towed excavators, a boat, and my BBQ pit. Truck loves to work. Fuel mileage is great for a 4WD rig of this size. The Mega cab is HUGE, and the back seat is enormous. he back seat reclines, offering even more comfort for longer trips. Interior is quiet.

Suggested Improvements

Interior is nice, but needs to be updated to keep up with competition. Should be a larger tire option; tires are pretty large, but look unproportional in the Dodge's huge wheel wells. would be nice if the windshield wipers would hide a bit better when not in use. More cup holders in the rear

Diesel 5.9 6m 4x4 quad SB SLT

Review

I feel this truck is solid and very fun to drive. A real head turner. I purchased the truck to be a daily driver and some farm work. I am satified with the fit and finish on delivery as well as the mechanicals. The 6 speed is fun to drive and great on fuel. With short shifting and a lite foot I am consistently at 20-24 cty and 19.5 - 20.1 on the highway. If I lead-foot it is at 18. I am hoping for a longterm ownership and with only 800 miles I am satified. I did have to bring the tires up to 80psi as the dealer had tires at 52 psi. I saw an increase in mileage thereafter.

Favorite Features

Cummins + 6M + 4x4 + Quad + Shortbed + limited slip = A great and functional daily driver. Also, great diesel mileagewith a light foot.

Suggested Improvements

Sirrius radio should have text. Also, I feel the front springs/shocks are a little mushy over the bumps. Front seats(cloth) are nice, but I hope they last over the years. The material seems very soft.
