Used 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 Consumer Reviews

Positive Review
I have been driving this truck since it was new. I now have over 225,000 miles on it. Other than regular maintenance the only thing that has been replaced is the alternator. I actually get about 18 mpg on the highway at approx 65 mph. In the city well that is a different story. It gets about 12 to 13 mpg. I have been very comfortable driving this truck. Even with the high mileage I feel very safe and would not hesitate to take it cross-country if the need should arise.

It goes places the 1500 can't go because of the 2f$
It takes 16 spark plugs.. lol
I love my Dodge I wouldn't trade it for anything else. It's sweet looking and runs like a champ. Although I think it was Dodge's experament. It's a 1500 with a 2500 front end. 8 lug instead of the 6. It's not got the hemi tick thank God. No cracks in the dash. No rips in the seats. No rust. It's a well built beautiful truck. It has the pulling power of the 2500, gets me anyplace i want to go..
I have had no problems with my ram. Only had to replace a battery,tires and brakes. Upholstery and liner is still in good order, It really drives well . If I had any complaints, it would be the turning radius. That is rarely a problem.
Kelly Blue BOOK a joke. They got my vin and said that the 04 is only worth 7,648 . They are freaken nuts it's a 5.9 motor that has less than a 1K on itand install by a dodge dealership that cost 27k to replace . The truck has never been wrecked and has a 8ft bed. Also has a histroy of all work from Dodge dealerships
This is an outstanding vehicle. Still no body rust and the truck has been outside its whole life. Fuel economy runs about 22MPG at 70 mph. Additionally, is does not burn or drop any oil. The Cummins engine has been trouble-free it's whole life with only a water pump and three injectors needing replacement due getting a load of water with a fuel stop.
Good fuel mileage
Could use better air conditioner
240000 miles with nothing more than normal maintenance. Smooth ride, good power, good fuel mileage.
New tires and new brakes, thunderroad model came with 20 inch wheels and tires,has towing package and extra cooler for the transmission.Mantenance was always kept up. Has slite rust above real wheels, Paint is excellent elsewhere. Interior is in good condition.
Pulled horses all over, state to state, MFG stands behind their products
It need a oil pump now and sending unit
Owned since 2094 it’s a left over 2003, has never let me down dependable, starts and pulls everytime, very pleased with it.
Spacious, comfortable, reliable.
Questionable gas mileage
Been rear ended three times and still no damage. The thing has lasted eons with very few issues. If you take care of it, it will take care of you.
