Comments on Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi

I'm considering purchacing a Dodge Ram 1500 with the 5.7 Hemi with tow package to tow a travel Trailer weighing 6300 lb dry, probably 6800 lb max loaded. Please give me your comments good or bad about this truck. I think it was truck of the year in 2013. I would think the engine has the bugs worked out after 55 years. How well is the truck built. Is it well put together. How does this 5.7 compare with Toyota 5.7. Thanks

I'd give you a thumbs up , I have two Dodges , work and pleasure , a 2005 Dodge 1500 hemi and a 2008 Dodge 4500 with the 6.7 Cummins and both have been excellent for me , on the 2005 1500 since I got it , it has had a set of front brake pads , a battery and a power door lock mechanism , and has never been in the shop or towed , 98,000 miles and it has done a lot of towing , I pull a 25 ft travel trailer and a 23 ft flat boat ---------- the 4500 I still love but was in the shop for a few warranty repairs , hydro brake booster leak , a/c compressor clutch , and the cooling clutch fan were all replaced ------ but that is nothing to the numerous times my 2006 Ford was in the shop , if I added up all the time the Ford truck was in the shop broke down during the 5 year loan I had on it , I say at least 6 months I paid for it but I didn't have it --------- when I replace the 1500 , I am going with a 2500 and the 6.7 Cummins ------------- the Ford 350 super duty I had was getting 8mpg with 13,000 total weight of the truck and tools in it , this Dodge weighs in a 16,500 and gets 17.5 mpg solid , I ride a lot for work and save enough on fuel to pay the truck note and insurance every month and still have enough for an Outback dinner , I cut my fuel bill over $200 a week switching to Dodge from Ford

sir.. I would HIGHLY recommend the 5.7 hemi.. I owned a 2006 Mega cab with the hemi and drove it until it had 176,000 approx miles on it.. Towed a 29' bumper pull camper and 3 horse slant load trailer on regular occasions.. It had original motor and transmission with only minor mechanical repairs and obviously regular maintenance done to it.. Only reason i am not still driving it is my company blessed me with a company vehicle. The truck is actually still on the road being driven daily by the guy who bought it from me.

Great engine, bad truck. It IS a Chrysler product. There is a reason they are cheaper than the rest.

I appreciate the input.

I just traded in a 2003 Dodge Ram Quad cab with the 4.7 engine, it had 250,000 miles and all I ever changed was the radiator. I pulled a 16' enclosed trailer everyday for 4 years and it was still running good when I traded it in. I would buy another dodge anyday.

Regularly towed a 29-foot bumper-pull trailer and a 3-horse slant-load trailer. The vehicle's motor and transmission were both factory-fresh, and it had clearly been well-maintained and had only needed minor mechanical fixes. fnf mod
