2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Review:
I have had my truck for over a year and still love it! It's the best in its class (don't compare to diesels). It tows great, has good breaking and is nice smooth ride. Not too bad for long road trips and has pretty good sound. Great gas mileage for a truck. I like it, I just need a lift~!

Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Ram 1500?
Acceleration.
Smooth shifting transmission.
Quietish engine.
Towing capabilities, having both, tow/haul (this is a great feature) & O/D off choices. (4.7L w 5-spd 545RFE tranny.)
Handles corners pretty well for a truck.
Lifetime power-train warranty for peace of mind (I used to have a 1990 Dodge with the Ultradrive 905c).

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Ram 1500?
The seats lack lumbar support and fatigue can set in early on long trips.
Less hard plastic, more softer plastics.
Reprogram the transmission to not shift from 5th +lockup all the way down to 2nd w/ passing gear engaged (I assume this transmission likes to stay in the top gear for the best Mileage).
Cut down on the Exhaust noise, it's a little annoying @ highway speeds.
Passenger seat back rattles and squeaks on country roads if you have no passenger.
Improve the electronic throttle, it is as annoying as my Toyota's is!

Guide: 5=Perfect; 3=Good; 1=Poor

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Dodge Ram 1500?
Aggressive look.
Smooth ride.
Nice power.
Lots of interior room.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Dodge Ram 1500?
20's need a little bit more aggressive tires rather than gas savers.
Seats are a bit stiff for comfort.
Stereo needs to point to driver more. Glares in sun and is very far away to reach.
Needs a little louder mufler from the factory but not too loud to compromise the integrity of in cab resonance!

2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Review:
Overall the beefiest looking truck on the market with the best rebates possible. It comes with Lifetime Powertrain Warranty!
