02 and up Dodge Ram 1500 question

I have been looking at getting rids of the GTP and maybe moving to a used 1500 quad cab, my question is how is the gas milage compared to my 14-16 around town ad well as reliability and so fourth? Does nayone own one or driven one?

worked in a ton of them, adding in stuff and sucj, never did mechanical work to any…:dunno:

fas millage sucks

also known fron transmission/converter problems

If its a 5.7L Hemi, expect around 9-10 around town.

Ya, i’ve ehard gas milage is bad but evry websight is differnet about that. And my car gets 14-16 town but 20’s highway. My girl gas a TITAN and i like em better than the fords and GM’s but i sure as hell can’t afford a 30g truck right now,lmao

my durango hemi got 14-15 mixed 20 highway with cruise on a good day…19 on a bad day

My buddy just got a 04 1500 w/the Hemi and he’s getting like 12/13 city and 18/19 highway

My dad gets about 17 in his, but it’s a 02 1500 with the 3.7 V6 so I would expect a V8 truck to be a little lower.

get a powerwagon. i think we have a black 06 used one up here.

Powerwagon gives me wood

my friend just bought a powerwagon, its a really nice truck

Damn Devin that is exacly what I was thinking about doing. Where I work we use Rams and it seems like they are solid trucks. I do all the finances for the fleet dept. and I reconcile the invoices, so I see all the repairs. Nothing too crazy ever happens to them. As for the tranny problems I think that was for the older style Rams. The newer Hemi’s shut down 4 cylinders while cruising…so that should help a little on the highway…but Hemi = more $$$. I drive out to the airport everyday and live right next to south park so that is they only thing stopping me from getting one…well that and wedding debt!!!

Yeah Titans are sick…sat in one at the auto show and the quality is awesome. I would love to have one but they are $$$$$.

actually a lot of the dodge dealers were throwing in new hemi’s for no additional charge, not sure if they are still doing it now or not… but then again, thats only on a new truck

Yeah the deals on the 07’s are sweet…you can get a decent 4X4 for like $22K…or take the 0% for 6 years. At least that was the deals like a month ago…may be better now.

remember there is now a lifetime powertrain warranty on all new trucks. minus the diesels i think

That is for 08 and newer…so it would not apply on the leftover 07’s
