1994 Dodge RAM 1500 Preview summaryImage

The Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 half-ton is a machine built for work. There are two engines available in the 1994 Dodge Ram 1500: a 3.9-liter V6 in the 2WD model, or a 5.2-liter V8 in the 4WD. The V6 has 175 hp of pulling power, while the V8 has an impressive 200 hp. All models come with an available 6.5-foot or 8-foot bed. The half-ton pickup easily stands up to its rating.

Comfort-wise, the 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 has a number of options available, depending on the package you want. Options include air conditioning, tilt steering, cruise control, a tachometer, and a cassette player. For driving ease, a 4-speed automatic transmission is available in all models of the Dodge Ram half-ton, though a 5-speed manual comes standard. Gas mileage isn't great, especially in the V8, but that's to be expected from a heavy-duty truck.

Owners of the 1994 Dodge Ram 1500 were generally happy with the truck, though there were a few problems. Transmissions and water pumps needing replacement too early were the main complaints, though a number of people commented on the poor factory paint job that came with the Ram 1500. But over and over, people were happy with the overall performance of the 1994 Dodge Ram, which seems to be a true workhorse.

Like the room in side the cab. The comfy seats and ride that it gives. Not like most trucks where it seems like your driving a lumber wagon. Great body style. Only thing I have a complaint with is the grille. Because the grille is bolted to the hood, and doesn't have much clearance from the front bumper. If hood is closed to hard, it ends up breaking the grille bolting tabs off.Nov 23, 2011

i love that she never stops doing what trucks do. this truck is only a half ton but i have pulled a 23 foot boat with no issues, countless cars on flatbeds with no issues. stopping with large loads is also not an issue. this truck has been through many wrecks so i am definitely not the only one who is continually surprised that it is still rockin in the free worldDec 01, 2010
