2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Crew Cab 4X4 User Reviews

Pros

Being first at the red light and watching other Ford and Chevy owners try not to make eye contact!!

Cons

Feels too nice to do what a truck is supposed to do!

Purchased As New

I thought my 2004 dodge SLT would be the last truck I would own. After a drunk driver changed all that, my wife said she would only ride in a new truck. After researching what was in store for the '09 dodge - the answer was made simple. We now own the decked out Laramie for $31k. Best deal from Nebraska (Woodhouse) - delivered to Texas.
4x4, ventilated/heated seats, heated steering wheel (insane that it took this long to come up with something so comfortable), in floor storage for tools, beverages, diapers, etc....rides high on 20's - will need to invest in side-step bars...dumbest thing I didn't do was to opt in for the ram box...thought it was a stupid gimmick (boy was I wrong). The dual exhaust is designed into the rear bumper and the exhaust gives you enough of a throaty sound to make people take notice...The hwy mileage will get to 20-21mpg if you can stand setting the cruise control at 65mph or lower. Almost forgot to mention the Alpine sound system...better than any big box store can do...Almost forgot to mention the on-board computer that can rip songs off a friends CD in 5 minutes...oil change intervals have been increased (some dealers will push every 3000 miles, but wouldnb't you if you worked at a dealership)...If you have had a Dodge in the past forget what you knew...this is the new standard. Hope you read about how Nissan is stopping production of the Titan to redovelop in the Dodge's shadow...
