Default Now I am getting nervous about the Ram 2500....

Hi everyone,
As many of my posts have indicated I want the 2007 Ram 2500 Quad cab, 4x4, long bed, Hemi. However before I pull the trigger, I am starting to get nervous about the truck and quality. Just today there were two posts telling how bad the trucks are (shake and whine issues). Should I be nervous? How well are they holding up? What are the pro's and con's of the Ram at this point? Are there areas that I should look out for? Please help calm my fears.

Thank you,
Zack

This was by a single member and was told how to fix the issue but only wanted to enjoy his wine. Ask just about any othermember about their truck and you will be hard pressed to find someone who does not like their truck or has more problems than they can deal with.

Our truck has been solid. The HEMI is sweet. The space in the MegaCab is amazing. The mods are fun. This is the best truck I have owned and we have owned Fords and Chevys.

I absolutely love mine, I have the CTD, but you won't be unhappy... That is unless you plan to pull alot of weight, then the cummins reigns supreme... Pull that trigger and never look back my friend

I love mine, I went from a toyota 4x4 (1990) to a 06 1500 Hemi to a 05 2500 CTD. I will have this truck for many years.

There isn't anything to worry about. But do remember, the people that do have these problems, they are just 1 in like 1000 who experience any problem. If you keep digging through the posts, those were the biggest problems, and they came from 1 member! You will find out (by looking through the posts, of course) that the problems people are experience are easily resolved.

i just read in a consumors report thing that the dodge ram and the new tundra are the two best buys for a new pickup truck.....
that being said buy a dodge.....cause the consumors report failed to say how ugly the tundra is.......
