Reviewing: 2005 Used Dodge Ram Pickup 2500 4 Dr SLT Crew Cab SB

This is probably the best truck we've had so far. It has great pulling power and can haul anything we have. It costed 40,000 dollars so we're still paying it off. It is very fun to drive because of the feel when you hear the turbo wind up. It is very fun to drive.

Pros — great leg room, plenty power, great seating,turbo
Cons — nothing

- The Cummins is a brute built for work.  It tows my trailer without issue. The engine is smooth, the NV5600 transmission is ok - 3rd gear synchro is very notchy and the box shifts slowly.  The brakes are acceptable, but a truck of this weight and pulling power really should have larger front rotors with larger pads and 4 or 6 piston calipers to improve brake performance and pedal feel.  This may very well be upgraded soon.
- The build quality is above expection of a Chrysler product that was assembled in Mexico.  There are some small issues that are design issues more than assembly related.
- Appearance is solid.
- cost of ownership has been very good.  regular maintenance is easy to perform.  fuel ecomomy has deteriorated since ultra low sulfer diesel was introduced - lost 2.5 mpg - but thank god its is cleaner (ignoring that its burning more now - once again the morons of the EPA have won this one...)
-Overall, this is a solid work horse.  The biggest issue that will be resolved shortly is improving the engine's efficiency with this new ultra low sulfer diesel fuel.

Pros — Strong Performance
Cons — Ultra Low Sulfer Diesel is ruining this fine performer

Pros — Plenty of power. 5.7 HEMI!

It is huge. For example it comes with 33 inch BF Goodrich all-terrain tires and a factory 3 inch lift.  It has a 12,000 lb. winch that can pull anything you come across... even the 8,510 lb. beast that it is attached to.  By the way, another great fact is that it technically weighs 8,510 lbs. therefore, it does not need to have emissions tests because it weighs 10 lbs. over the limit... i'm pretty sure they did that on purpose. which, again, is great.  Also it comes with unlockable sway bars and fender flares.  It almost has better off-roading capabilities than any other truck on the market and it is not far behind Jeeps.  Its approach angle, departure angle, axle clearance, and ramp breakover angle are better than any other truck on the market and are not very far behind the Jeep Wranglers.

Pros — huge. great off-roading capabilities. very comfortable
Cons — bad gas mileage, only 12 mpg. but thats the only con.
