The main changes for the Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 in 2005 revolve around a stronger engine and available power sunroof and Sirius Radio in the Quad Cabs. Ram fans can choose from a 5.7 L V8 or a 5.9 L I6 powertrain. 18 trims ensure that you'll find the right configuration to fit your needs.
The '05 Dodge Ram 3500 comes in 2 door, 3 seat and 4 door, 6 seat configurations. As the strongest of the Rams, max towing capacity approaches an impressive 16000 lbs. on all trims. Finally, drivers will have their pick of available 4 and 5 speed automatic transmission or 6 speed manual.
Overall, the 2005 Dodge Ram Pickup 3500 gets props for its power, towing capacity, good safety features, and relatively cushy interior. On the other hand, the critics feel that this powerful pickup could use a couple more seating configurations to match up better with the competition. Despite the relative lack of variety, the '05 Dodge Ram 3500 does its job as a rugged domestic pickup and does it well.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2005 Dodge RAM 3500 appreciate its impressive power and towing capacity, particularly with the Cummins diesel engine. Many drivers enjoy its performance, including strong acceleration and handling. However, some express disappointment with the interior quality, finding it less comfortable compared to competitors like GM and Ford."
Great truck for the money couldnt get the reliability from other truck brands
November 9, 2024Excellent acceleration, very good braking, handles great and it will pull anything. Looks great. I get 18mpg. The only repairs, had turbo replaced under warranty. Apparently you can't pull a travel trailer at 100mph for several hours at a time, who knew. Its fun to race little Toyotas and Hondas and watch their surpised looks from the rearview mirror.
August 22, 2008Overall this truck is great. I have since driven other trucks and the Dodge by far has the most power and towing capacity than the others. I would certainly own another. Once you drive one, you'll be sold on Dodge.

May 14, 2014Large Cummins Power. Big but still fun to drive.
January 5, 2008Supercharged 3.8 liter V6=lots of torque ;) The car has been modified with a smaller supercharger pulley, larger cross-drilled brakes, aftermarket wheels, computer and police handling package. The car is soon to be lowered slightly by about 1 inch. Mods for the near future include intercooler and roller rockers.
June 11, 2009although it looks nice and makes incredible power with the 5.9L cummins diesel this is a work truck it's got a decent interior but is not the most comfortable and is a little bitter cheaper than the gm and ford in regards to quality
February 15, 2008Great horsepower and torque! The cummins diesel engine is awesome and very good on fuel considering its a one ton truck. I just wish that the truck had a manual tranny instead of the automatic trans. I'll probably be doing a tranny swap with in 2 years unless the truck gets traded in!
