2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Reviews and Ratings

just received a letter about a problem

Overall very nice truck. I love the body style. It looks aggressive

I bought The 2009 Ram 1500 SLT Quad cab with 96000 miles. It has all the luxury items I like, such as navigation, u connect, and backup camera. And the Hemi is awesome! I average around 17 mpg. I love this truck!

I bought the SLT single cab with the 4.7 brand new the summer of 09''. Loaded with great options and that rear coil spring suspension, it is like the Cadilliac of trucks. I tow a 19'' boat with v8, and I tow a 24'' travel trailer that is just over 5000 lb. With the weight distributing hitch, it is quite capable of towing all day at 65 or 70 with no problem at all. I would buy a new one, but mine has been so great and the new ones look no better so it looks like I will drive it for a long time to come. If I drive 55 empty, I can see an astounding 25 mpg. That big trailer drops it to 9 mpg.

The 4.7 lacks some power when going up hills but gets pretty good milage as I am averaging 19 MPG. The truck handles great and the ride is better than my 2005 Cadillac ! It tows my boat okay but rattled up very steep hills. If I had to do over again I would have got the hemi.

Great truck bought it a year ago with 36 miles on it and it now has 60. I was worried at first that the 4.7 would be under powered. To my pleasant surprise it is not. I drove from Wisconsin to South Carolina (through the mountains) with the truck loaded and 5 passengers and my 6x12 trailer fully loaded with household goods including fridge stove washer and dryer. It did great it never lost speed up the hills and it averaged 16 mpg for the trip. The other positive is the fuel economy. On the highway it gets between 19-21 mpg and it gets 16 in town.
