Great Truck — This has been a great truck. I bought it in 2006 with 9k miles. Powerful, roomy interior, smooth ride, zero maintenance issues. I would like better gas mileage, but really wouldn't expect it in a full size truck - especially one equipped with a Hemi V8. I would definitely recommend this truck.

Jeff's Take On The 05 Ram 1500 Baby!!! — Best pickup in its class, its sturdy, and powerful. Very roomy and fun to drive. Great acceleration and breaking, as well ad handling. Havent had to put any money into other than basic maintenance. It is a blast to go cruising in, and great for hauling those heavy loads. I would Definitely recommend buying this truck to anyone who is in the market for a newer truck.

Reliable, Powerful, And Gets The Job Done. — Had this truck for a few years now and it had never left me on the side of the road. Replaced the alternator due to a bad bearing and the drive belt while I had it off. Other than that this truck has been extremely reliable, starts every time, and fun to drive.

Primary Use: Utility (towing boats, transporting cargo, etc.)

Great looking truck! Makes you feel like a man! Head Turner!

Awesome Truck!! Definitely Turns Heads And Gets Attention Of Others! — This is my baby but due to the addition of a second child and more car seats, I need to get a better family quality vehicle like a luxury sedan or something! This is a very fun truck to drive.

Primary Use: Commuting to work

If You Cant Dodge It, Ram It. — 4 Low on these trucks will get you out of anything, especially if you have the 5.7 Hemi or large engine. They are roomy, durable, and stylish. I've been in an accident at 80 miles an hour with this truck and the frame didnt even bend. I walked away without a scratch. These are TOUGH

2005 Dodge Quad Cab — 5.7L Hemi powered Quad cab! Lots of power. Like a muscle car in a truck. Mine has an Alpine head unit with iPod interface, Leer top, BedRug bed liner, Infinity subwoofer, SRT-10 replica wheels with fat Yokohamas.

Love Dodge Ram! — Stylish looking truck. Solid styling and very few blind spots. Repairs have been minimal. Normal maintenance and tune ups which have been fair. Truck handles well, gets up and onto the freeway and cruises along nicely. Quiet interior and great for kids etc in the back seat. Dodge has the best under seat storage by far!
