Hey all,

I'm considering buying the 07 dodge ram 1500 quad cab. 2 wd With the 5.7 hemi. I drove it tonight and think it is a nice ride for a truck. I also have the dodge charger, I'm giving that to my wife and it only has 10,000 miles on it. She has a pt cruiser and we both hate it. She says she would rather drive the charger anyhow. I told her that I would get her the new car and keep my charger. For some unknown reason she just wants the charger. So long story short, what do you all think. Am i going to be pissed off and hate the truck. Do you all think it will be a nice truck. Ive been reading your postings and seem to be seeing some of the same problems. someone even posted somthing about dodge knowing the problems and not caring about the consumer. I have not noted this though. Opinions please. be honest.[8D]

 

You will absolutely hate the gas milage. I haven`t heard of a Dodge truck get any good milage. I love my 2000 Ram Sport but the milage killed me , especially when I added 20s.

I had a large feeling from research that i did that the milage sucked. I love the truck.

 

bueler, bueler

 

I love my truck, as everyone has said the gas mpg's suck *****, sometimes dodge corp can be some big asses but for the most part you will enjoy the new truck, I mean who wouldnt enjoy a new truck with a hemi, I say get it, but be aware of thesoundofaftermarket exhaustwith MDS it takes some getting use to

 

I think you should go witht he diesel and have a truck that you can put 300,000 plus miles without a worry and pull tree stumps if needed.

 

jimmy how much did your diesel cost you? jw

 

I also love my trucks,i would get it. So what the gas milage sucks,you look good.

 

Post this in the 3rd Gen Forum and you will get many more replies. I also agree that if you can afford the diesel go with it. I got 23 mpg the other day traveling from dallas to corpus christi

 

thank you guys. I'll try posting in the 3rd gen.
