KELLEY BLUE BOOK REVIEW
Driving It
Driving Impressions
When it comes to ride comfort, the 2009 Dodge Ram has an advantage over its competitors thanks to a new coil-spring rear suspension. Leaf-spring suspensions tend to ride more harshly and can lead to bounding motions over bumps, but the Ram's coil springs calm those motions and smooth out the ride. Otherwise, the Ram drives like the big truck that it is, the steering is reasonably direct and the brakes are easy to modulate and control, but don't expect this big truck to handle, steer or stop like a sports sedan.
