2007 Dodge Ram Truck

Pros: It's a good looking truck.
Cons: Hill Start Assist, ESP, Steering

This is a terrible design! This feature is designed to keep brakes engaged while on a hill for a short period of time to keep vehicle from rolling backwards. When releasing the brake on any grade incline, A horrible clicking sound is present. While confronting Daimler On This Problem among a few others, I was assured that this is intentionally how the system is designed...... What? Had I of known of this nuisance of a noise, I would have never bought this vehicle.

To top that The ESP (Electronic Stability Program), which applies brake pressure when vehicle starts to skid or lose control also makes this noise while going around steep curves etc.... Not very satisfied here.

Pros: Diesel power, roominess, mileage, standard features
Cons: Nothing yet.

I have had my Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins Turbo Diesel 4X4 with the 6 speed automatic transmission for about 2 months now. I need a heavy duty truck to pull a coal trailer as well as a horse trailer. I tested all major brands of Heavy Duty diesel Pick-up trucks and the Toyota Tundra(which has no diesel model). The Dodge and Toyota came out on top. Both the Toyota and Dodge share the same 6 speed automatic transmission, handle and stop exceptionally well. Both trucks had excellent room and both trucks back seats had more room than most mid-size cars made today. In the end I choose the Dodge for two reasons; 1) The Cummins diesel reliability reputation.
2) The Dodge just seemed like a truck that wanted to work.
I read a few articles and press releases from Toyota about cam shaft failures in the Tundra, so I felt validated in my decision.
I love my truck, this Dodge pulls my trailers with ease, and it stops just as well with the standard Jacobs engine brake. I do not regret my decision at all. I highly recommend this truck to anyone.

Pros: 18MPG solid well built
Cons: Height ! the bed is to high for my old Gooseneck (so are the others)

I have had Dodges for the last 7 years and this is by far the best
I purchased it 12 months ago and have done 30000 some long halls of over 6000 - I have had one problem ! the thing wouldn't start but I called the free towing service and within 2 hours was back on the road the second time I was outside the dealership and it was dead after 30Mins they tracked the problem to the starter and once again I was back up and running (Zero $0) If you want power this is the truck, I have palled (16 x 16) log cabins up hill horse trailers and even a small dozer and you wouldn't know you were pulling
why oh why are all the pickups so high (I'm not a kid) and want the practical hight so I don't have to lift - come on 3" lower please

Pros: Roomy, Power, Appearance
Cons: Will leave you longing to own one

I will admit that prior to test driving the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500, I was a bit of a sceptic that the truck would not be able to hold a candle to its predecessor. I was not happy that Dodge had decided to get rid of the V8 Magnum and go with the 5.7 liter Hemi with MDS. I automatically assumed that meant less power. However, upon driving the 2007 Ram 1500, I discovered that I was mistaken. The HEMI puts out 345 horsepower and really has good pickup and power. I test drove the Laramie edition and was very pleased with all of the "extras" in the truck. The audio controls were mounted on the steering wheel, which is very convenient, and the rear sliding window was power. Dodge has added a wood trim look to the dash, which adds a touch of elegance to the truck. The seats were very comfortable and there was adequate leg room in the back seat for an adult to ride comfortably. With the current incentives offered by Dodge, the Ram 1500 is a deal that can't be beat.
