Pros: powerful, roomy, big cargo capacity
Cons: rides like an ox cart in mud, outdated design, gas mileage
The Bottom Line: A tough-feeling truck with good power and load capacity; but the 2001 Ram has outdated design, lousy economy, and horrendous ride. Check out the Tundra.
Well, now, this is an interesting development, isn't it... Last week when I arrived at my local Enterprise Rent-a-car office to pick up a vehicle to take to Houston, all they had left was a Dodge Ram pickup. That's not their fault, of course -- the...

Pros: Comfortable, powerful, and good-looking, too.
Cons: This truck should attend gasoholic anonymous meetings.
You can carry bundles of 10 foot PVC pipe and 50 cubic feet of compost in a Toyota Camry (really--I've done it). But let's face it, trucks do the job a lot better. So, despite my love for my incredibly reliable 1993 Camry, I yearned for a truck....

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Big, Rugged, Reliable, Grunty, Comfortable, Powerful, Long-living
Cons: Resonates at some pavement frequencies
The Bottom Line: Biggest, best truck with a long life, and the best mileage!
I recently finished up graduate school, moved to Southern California, and bought some horses. My old car wasn't up to the task of carrying a bale of hay, let alone pull two very heavy horses and their trailer. So, I began the tiring search of looking...

Pros: Comfortable ride, roomy cab, cold ac, well laid out instrument panel
Cons: Gas mileage
The Bottom Line: If you are in the market for a truck, give the Dodge Ram 1500 a serious look. Remember to check with your spouse first though, they may have minivan dreams.
I have to admit it, I wasn't exactly thrilled when my husband brought home the 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. We were supposed to be looking at minivans, not trucks. I was the one driving kids and a dog around, running all the errands, grocery shopping- all...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Roomy, tough, great styling, fun to drive
Cons: mileage (duh), tires are a little small
The Bottom Line: All around excellent, tough, fun and with the promise of longevity. Great utility at 10-20K less than most SUVs.
2001 Dodge RAM 1500 Quad Cab Automatic
We vowed never to buy a new car again. It was the whole litany of it losing 3 grand in value as you drive it off the lot. Plus, we;d found lots of used cars that were great deals...why did we need to...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Big, reliable, simple
Cons: It could use some grab bars/straps on the driver side to ease getting in and out
This is my third Dodge Truck. Having owned GM, Dodge, and Ford trucks in the past, I have clearly found my favorite. I have to mention that all the prior trucks I've owned were in the half ton class. My 2001 Dodge is a Ram 2500 (3/4 Ton), extended...

Pros: appearance,rides well
Cons: fuel milage
The Bottom Line: Good pickup,bad fuel milage and will not pull.
I live in Oklahoma and my truck is referred to as the "Texas/Oklahoma Package.The body style is the most appealing as far as 1/2 ton pick-ups go.My truck drives and handles well although it does not pull worth a flip.
I hooked my...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Comfortable interior, nice body styling
Cons: Underpowered V6, hard to find parts for
The Bottom Line: If you want a truck to be a truck, get a Ram.
I bought the Dodge Ram after owning 2 midsize cars and 2 compacts. I bought it in the hopes of getting a boat to pull, which I did last month (see review of Glastron SX 170). Also, now that I live in a rural area, it comes in extremely handy for lugging...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks, tough, room, cargo hauling, towing
Cons: cheap plastic dash
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you want a REAL truck. Mine has taken my abuse and still shines
I normally dont write reviews, but some of the whiners on here dont sound like they have even driven one, or got one that has been throughly used. I got my '01 Ram 1500, 2WD, V6 5spd manual brand new in the summer of 2000. It had about 400 miles on it - ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, dependability, towing ability, handling, and looks.
Cons: The dash deck could have been from better material.
The Bottom Line: An excellent truck, even used. As with any vehicle, routine maintenance will make the difference between a good or bad experience.
I recently purchased a 2001 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT, which was a lease vehicle of one of my local tire stores. It is the standard cab short bed, with 5.9L V-8 Magnum. It had 75,000 miles on it when I got it, but knowing that all the maintenance had been done, ...

Pros: Nice Truck
Cons: Not a good a Chevy
I recently took the top three full size pick-ups for a test drive. I own a 2000 Silverado, and was in the market for another truck for my son. I must say I didn't drive the GMC, because it really is the same as the Chevy. The Dodge was my first...

Pros: looks great, drives great
Cons: it is a truck so don't expect it to ride like a sports car
I believe that every family that owns a house and has two vehicles needs for at least one of the vehicles to be a truck. The problem is trucks have become so loaded with options and the high consumer demand have made them quite expensive. I went in...

Before your read my epinion, read "jrks" as she has had more experience with her "truckie-poo" than I have with Tarantula.
Dodge has certainly undergone an enormous (and positive), metamorphosis with the new line of Ram...

Pros: Powerful V10, roomy interior, great styling, nice interior layout, 4-doors.
Cons: Gas guzzler, squeaks/rattles.
The Bottom Line: If you must buy a full size truck, the Dodge Ram is a great truck. The bottom line? ANY domestic truck will do; they're all fine trucks.
-Very nice interior layout. Intuitive to new drivers. -This is the only pickup I've ever had tha ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Aggressive styling, large cab and lots of cargo room
Cons: Poor gas mileage
The Bottom Line: I would recommend as a second vehicle. The poor fuel economy makes it impractical to drive constantly.
There are lots of good things to be said for the 2001 Dodge Ram. It has a massive bed, and a surprising amount of room in the cab. The dash is well designed, and the center console serves as a great armrest. I'm a small (5'3) female, and I find the...
