1500 Dodge Ram 4 wheel drive. Poor gas mileage. No distinctive features.
The truck is relatively comfortable, back seat not so much, ashtray is not in good proximity of the passenger seat, has no power, very poor gas mileage.

Dodge Ram 1500-almost a perfect truck
My husband and I bought a used 2002 Dodge Ram pick-up. It had been well maintained. I've only found 2 issues that I don't really like: 1) gas mileage 2) certain years have a defective dashboard and it cracks into many pieces and now needs to be replaced. Otherwise, a great truck.

Good gas mileage, good performance.
The truck has proven to be long lasting. It has plenty of seat space, and drives well. Gas mileage is not too bad for being a full size truck. It has started rusting which sucks. Also, the dash has broken so it was not the most durable. I bought it used and at 180,000 miles.

Dodge ram truck is a good work truck.
It has a 4 inch lift kit and a push bar on the front with a light bar. It has 4 wheel drive and is a crew cab. The doors for the crew cab need fixed so at this time they cannot be opened for access to the back seats. It's not good on gas it gets at least 8 miles per gallon. It handles good and makes for a good work truck.

This Dodge RAM van has been a good investment serving it is purpose well.
This Dodge RAM van has been a great vehicle, it is very dependable and reliable requiring the usual maintenance with no major breakdowns. It is great for travel with lots of room for hauling things and comfortable for two passengers. It is easy to handle and does well in traffic. It has good pick up for ease in getting into traffic. It also handles well with heavy cargo. I will definitely purchase another Dodge RAM cargo van in the future even though this vehicle is now sixteen years old it is still in very good condition and I have no plans for selling or trading it in for a newer model anytime soon but when I do I will definitely purchase another Dodge RAM van again! This is the fourth one that I have owned. The only problem that I have encountered with this vehicle is the paint job as it has had a tendency to flake, but I guess this is to be expected whenever a vehicle is not kept inside a garage when not in use and in a hot sunny environment. The cloth seats have not worn well either. In the other vans that I have owned I used seat covers so I didn't encounter this issue with the cloth seats. It also has a great sound system.

Our dodge experience. The engine went with low miles.
Our dodge ram 1500. Its a 2002 with very 88,000 miles on it. My husband and I purchased it used. And not four months after that the engine blew in it. One of the rods in the engine almost shot through the engine casing. The truck itself was nice on the inside. Seemed to be a decent truck. But I suppose not. I would not recommend dodge after this encounter.

Ram 1500 crew cab 4 wheel drive
The truck had very low gas mileage but it is a hefty truck and can be used for hauling large things, a camper or other towable objects. I would not recommend it to someone who would really not need it. Other than that it is a nice truck if that is what you are after

Beautiful white RAM 1500 truck.
I love driving my truck. The seats are super comfortable. I move around a lot so it is super reliable. Being female, I love breaking that stereotype that only males can drive trucks. The only thing I would say I hate about it, is the amount of gas it wastes.
Tanya H
on December 10, 2020
I love the style and look. We installed a DVD system and remote start as well.
I love that it sits up high and I feel safe driving it. We have had problems with a/c and had full replacement, antifreeze evaporation with no solution, sun cracked dashboard in front window, and our battery dies constantly (major pain, dies if not started daily.

It's great on gas for a big truck.
No complaints. I love my truck because I my money from it and it's so big inside that everyone has room, perfect for long trips. Very comfortable, n smooth ride. Love my Dodge ram.

It has 5 seats which is bomb and is pretty compact
He's an old guy with some issues but we're still buds. He is a small dark blue truck with 5 seats making him very convenient for just about all of my needs. I have very few complaints about this vehicle
Joyce H
on November 16, 2020
Good truck for country/farm use.
We bought it used. When we bought it, the a/c didn't work, nor does the heater in really cold weather. The exhaust is loud. We had some issues with shocks. Otherwise, it has been a pretty good workhorse for us. It gets around, and while it is noisy, the ride is good.
Julia B
on November 13, 2020
It is just a very versatile truck.
I have no complaints. I love my truck because I can haul stuff and I can go in the snow. It just looks good.

The truck is black it's got silver trim and has a great working motor it.
Really great car I love it does what I need it to gets me to where I need to go no problems at all get one try yourself they are the best trucks that you will find on the market I like them very much so try them out I did and have not went back the cars that they make are really great at price and they can get the job done at a very cheap price I think that's why I bought the truck.
Victoria F
on November 5, 2020
Very roomy inside the truck. It has 6 seats with an option of it being 5
It is extremely reliable. I need a newer model because mine is just getting old and wear and tear but besides that it fits my family very comfortably
Tamara S

Older model dodge trucks have a few issues, but are basically good vehicles.
I love a dodge truck. But dodge has its own issues. My specific truck had a heater core issue. It was a big pain to fix because of the bad dash that was used in my model. The dash was actually recalled. The fix for it was a big piece of plastic that screwed over the original dash. This was an awesome fix for the dash until my heater core went out. It took me a long time to find someone to replace it for a reasonable price. After I did I have very few complaints. My truck has almost 300,000 miles on it and it runs like a champ. It uses a little oil. And it doesn't get the gas mileage it used to, but it is dependable.
Paula P
on October 30, 2020
Durable family truck. Lovely vehicle.
I love this truck. It is very reliable. Comfortable and rugged looking. I have the basic trim package. Very durable. I do not like that it does not have power windows or locks. It is a good looking truck. I have helped people move with this tough truck. I love my truck.

Good looking dependable truck.
I really love my truck it is very dependable has all that I need in a light duty truck. It does not have a lot of extras that can go out, but it has a comfortable ride it get good gas mileage and is an all around good dependable truck. I would recommend this truck to anybody plus it is good to look at and easy maintenance.
Taylor B

My truck is my get around car I use it for everything.
I need to fix transmission it is not working that well. Also lights due to sensors and the air does not work very well. If I was able to fix the seats I would, also I need to fix my windshield it has a crack I am not able to give my truck the proper care due to income right now.
Julie G

It is old with lots of miles but it is trustworthy.
I love that I can haul pretty much whatever I need in the bed of the truck. It does ride a little rough but it works when I need it.
Leah S
on September 13, 2020
It is two wheel drive and it is old.
I like that it is a full size, four-door truck, but it is old and has some issues. The tires are expensive and I have had to spend a lot to fix it up. But I like having a truck.

It is personalized for my family and it is dependable.

Ups and downs of the 2002 Dodge Ram 1500.
My truck is old and rusty. Sometimes the air does not work in the summer and it gets hot. It is convenient for picking up large cargo. I do not get stuck in the snow during the winter.
Kimberly J

Had to replace engine at only 88k miles.
Had to replace the engine at 98k miles. We bought it in 2015 for a farm truck and two months later we spent $5000 on a new engine. Disappointing since we paid $9400 for it and now we have more in it than it is worth. It has been fairly reliable since the new engine. Starting to rust out though.
maria f
on July 14, 2020
Dodge is a great brand! Ram 1500 was the total way to go
My truck is blue, which is a color i love. I wish i had gotten a four by four, instead of a two wheel drive. My only complain would be that i need more space.

Dependable transportation.
Completely reliable in all situations that me and my family has ever been. Also not to mention all type of weather conditions. Helping people move, tailgating, camping. Trail rides, parades. Also star watching on beautiful nights with the family. Taking long trips with friends and family.
Tammy C

Great use for the four door truck
Very roomy for a truck. Four doors makes it easier for everyone to get in and out of without having to move the seats. Drives smoothly and has great stereo system. The bed of the truck has plenty of room for carrying things. I have had to replace the transmission and the belts, but overall it's a great truck.
Mike R

It's Dependable rugged nice to ride in AC works great
It's very dependable fun to drive It's rugged nice and comfortable.it use a little bit more gas than I like
George S
on May 5, 2020
. The only reason I do not get another is this one is paid for cheaper to fix.
At time of purchase it was comfortable. Problems with this truck is it only has 124, 000 miles on it and the dash has cracked which found out was a problem with Dodge. I have had to replace the rear end twice and also the transmission. It does not leak oil but it does burn a little.
Destiny W
on April 19, 2020
It is a little difficulty to find replacement parts.
I like the 4 door extended cab feature it is big enough for my big family. It is 4 wheel drive which is perfect for my family. We are a big hunting family and the 4 wheel drive and long bed are great for getting in tight places and hauling the fresh game home. The year of the vehicle does make it very hard to find replacement parts at times but it is a very durable vehicle. Dodge has been a very reliable vehicle for me. The powerful engine give it a nice pick up and go. I like the simplicity of not having a lot of crazy new tech in my vehicle. It has power windows and locks and that is the most tech I want in a vehicle. The more tech in a vehicle the more possibilities of having more issues that I can not fix myself.
Stacie R
on March 27, 2020
It works great in all weather types.
I love my truck. It is the best. I can put so much stuff in the bed of the truck. It works great in the winter and when I put my plow on to plow the snow it works awesome. I never have any problems with it.
Linda E
on March 4, 2020
It is durable and gets good mileage for a truck this size.
I like that it has 4 doors. There is not enough room in the back seat. It's great for hauling things. It has cruise control.
Julio Z
on February 23, 2020
My vehicle needs work but is very reliable and hardly breaks down
Due to it being years old, there are troubles with the ac component but can be fixed with certain products that don't require replacing new parts, suspension needs work and the truck needs alignment but isn't learning a to one side heavily but is noticeable. Headlights are dull but still works at night. But runs real smooth and now issues with breaking, the seats are comfortable and is hardly breaks down even if there are issues.
Audrey C
on February 2, 2020
Good truck that could be great.
The truck was used when purchased. It has a rusted hole in exhaust. Has an extended cab with two full bench seats. CD radio power lock power windows. Ac /heater. Bed liner and over a 100,000 miles on it.
JEREMIAH L
on January 11, 2020
This truck is taken care of very well. It is clean inside and out.
I bought the truck used and it was in very good condition with low miles. It has been a dependable truck for me. I am able to complete multiple DIY jobs since I can haul equipment and other things easily.

My great ram. Great tires. Good radio great heater. And a sunroof.
It's a good car. It's got a radio, heater, and steering wheel and 2 door that open up. Its run great. Does all the work of horse. Does Not burn oil or leak oil. It's got 4 brand new tire with new rims mud and snow tires. The radio plays great music on it. The tires are black with white stripe.

American country girl and her truck.
I love my Dodge truck. The handling is good. And the space and interior design is good as well. It has done good for me in all areas. My only complaint is the traction and how light it is yet that does well for rallying and off-road racing. At least for me.
Edward M
on December 12, 2019
Its dependable, and durability.
My truck has over 200k miles on it. Lately it has been on the decline for performance, comfort, and miles per gallon, but It's a very reliable truck considering Its age.
Michael H
on November 30, 2019
The best part of you getting the truck is that you can lift the truck.
All in all it is a very good truck. I never had any problems with the truck and it can haul just about anything you can fit in the bed of the truck so with that being said if you asked me if you should buy the truck I will tell you to go for it because in the end you are going to make out with a good truck.
christopher o

Dodge rams are great for power but not long lasting at all.
Dodge rams are great for power, but they are terrible on durability. They are not lasting especially the transmission. Constantly have to take it to the mechanic every few months.

In short the truck runs great and has good space and features
It's a really nice truck I have the srt version and it's amazing , it's been in my family for years and works great there's enough space for up to 6 passengers and even has storage compartments under the back can seats
Carolyn E

2002 Dodge Ram 1500 still going strong.
Given the age and mileage (over 200, 000), the truck is performing very well. The mileage per gallon of gas is not the greatest, but we didn't buy the vehicle for that reason. We needed something that we could use for hauling supplies for the house and garden, and the truck has done what we wanted.
Larry P
on November 1, 2019
I've only 150,000 thousand miles in 18 yrs. It's aged well.
My truck,.is the extra cab, with the small suicide doors that access a small seating area or raise the seat and it's an indoor cargo space for tools or groceries or whatever that's inside. It has that truck 'sound' if you will. It's just a good truck with no major issues in 18 years. Basic maintenance. Had to change a couple fuses in only 150,000 miles on it.
Nevin G
on October 31, 2019
Reliable truck but costly in gas mileage.
My 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 5. 9 l is a big and loud vehicle which I love. The gas mileage unfortunately is not too great but is reliable in getting back and forth from work. The truck also does well when I take it to the woods and being able to fill the bed with equipment comes in handy.
Corey B
on October 28, 2019
2002 Dodge RAM 1500, all original features and parts are alive and kicking.
Love it, its my everyday vehicle for school and work and not once has it broken down on me. Yeah it's got its dents and bumps but all parts are factory original and I would happily buy another if this one tanked. Dodge RAM 1500s are always going to be my top pick.
Rebecca H
on October 8, 2019
Dodge ram 1500 very dependable and reliable.
I could not ask for a better vehicle. I love the truck have had no major work done to it and it still runs great. Has never left me stranded. Very dependable and reliable vehicle. I own 2 of them and wouldn't trade them for any other vehicle out there.
Amber H
on September 13, 2019
The cab is very spacious for a truck.
I'm having binding problems in the rear drive train. It's making horrible crunching and grinding noises. There's a problem with the radio, hasn't worked since I bought the truck used. And the power windows aren't always working. It was a great truck when we first bought it. The interior is very spacious and nice leather sets. It drives and handles great when it runs.
Pam G
on August 20, 2019
All the benefits of owning a truck.
I love my truck! I do have a problem with the dashboard cracking. This has happened to all 3 of my Dodge trucks. I feel safer in a truck. The gas mileage is a little bit more costly but my families safety is more important. And I love it being a 4 wheel drive. It can go almost everywhere.
Renaldo L
on August 20, 2019
Dodge Ram 1500 owner now and possibly in the future.
I have a 4.7 liter V8 dodge ram 1500. I like the powertrain and the handling of this truck. It is roomy and provides adequate space for my family of 5. The interior dashboard is made of some cheap plastic material and has cracks everywhere from sun damage. I have a faulty oil pressure sensor that has been replaced twice and had to be disconnected. The idle control switch has also been replaced due to stalling when stopped at lights and stop signs. I have 172000 miles on my vehicle and my transmission has started to slip at cruising speeds. I'm not sure how many more miles this truck will give me before a major breakdown. This is my first full size truck and If I were to buy a new truck I would lean towards ownership of a newer Dodge. I hope this helped.
Natasha M

2002 Ram SLT 4x4 5.9. Very comfortable and reliable vehicle.
This vehicle is extremely reliable, with the exception of excessive cold. During those times, starting it can be a chore. Additionally, during the winter the 4 wheel drive is seldom needed. This truck tracks straight in deep snow and on ice and seldom wants to slide. The factory infinity sound system is a pleasure and the truck is spacious and rides very smoothly.
Mike S
on July 7, 2019
The beast will not fail rain or shine she always gets us going.
It has a lot of rust along all the wheel wells! The rear end is wrecked and the exhaust is really loud! The miles are high because 2 drivers share it. The speakers are blown in the front and the passenger window will only roll down from the drivers side power button. But it is big and runs like a beast!!
roy K
on July 5, 2019
It is very reliable for it's age
I love being able to step up into and down out of a vehicle. This has been a very reliable vehicle. It is 16 years old and still runs beautifully. It doesn't get very good mileage but I don't drive many miles each year so that is not a problem. Due to severe rust I will have to replace it next year.
Frank D

My truck is cool. 2002 with 126,000 miles. Time to go fishing.
2002 dodge ram 1500 2x4. 4.7 l v8. I have had only one complaint about my truck. No grease fittings on the ball joints. My truck has been used to tow my bass boat for years. Flat land or mountains, my dodge pulls the boat just fine. We have spent hours in the truck. We call it 'big red'. It is so comfortable cruising on the interstate. Sometimes we do not even play any music because we like the sound of the v8 motor. . My truck has been through several hurricanes, the paint still looks good. The stereo CD player rocks. I will positively buy another dodge truck when the one I own now wears out years from now.
roy h
on March 13, 2019
It has been on of the most reliable vehicles that I have owned
I love that the vehicle is 16 years old and has been very reliable. There has one been one time I had to have it towed. What I hate is it is now rusting out and will not pass another inspection without a lot of work. The cost will be prohibitive and I will have to replace it.
Bruce T

It's a workhorse. Will lull or haul what you need to.

Daniel P

Dodge ram series is the best truck on the road.
The dodge ram is a dependable all around good truck. The 4.7 v8 gets good fuel mileage and the hauling capacity is not surpassed by any other truck on the market. It also has much more cab space to stretch out that ford or Chevy. The dodge ram series in my opinion is the best and handsomest truck on the market and it outperforms any other truck on the road today.
Justin W
on February 18, 2019
This is a good vehicle. Will buy another.
Dashboard on every truck around this year model has cracked severely. Performance of the engine is good and gets good gas mileage.

Love the size. The extra room from having a full backseat.
I love the size of my truck. Sometime parking can be hard. But I am handicapped so if I get one of those spaces it good for me walking and parking. I love everything except the mpg. I feel very safe in my truck. It is height so I can see everything. I live having the back seat full size so I can carry things inside and it is easy for the dogs to get in the backseat.

My van has lots of room, very safe and a lot of fun to drive.
I have a 2002 Dodge van high-top. It is custom with TV, limo lighting, very nice captain chairs with a bench seat in rear. This bench seat folds down to a full size bed. It is a very comfortable van. Very long and tall which makes me feel very safe on trips. I raised my son and several of his buddies in this van. Each seat has a large window, custom lighting, tilts back for relaxing on long trips and they swivel for ease. All captain seats have arm/headrests. There is extra storage above each row of seating. There is polished wood accents, each window has folding blinds. The front main captain seats.

In conclusion, my 2002 Dodge Ram is just simply not a durable truck it has great powers but it's not long lasting.
My 2002 Dodge Ram was a very good powerful truck, but the last of the engine and transmisión is not so great. It's performance dropped dramatically I have to take it to the mechanic quit a bit fixing the breaks and transmisión.
Suzanne G

I find my Dodge Ram to be very dependable.
I have had my truck since 2002. I have replaced the ball joints and had to replace the radiator 3 yrs. Ago. Also brake Calipers were replaced 5 yrs. Ago. Ac works great needs a recharge every couple yrs. And had to replace fan motor 2 yrs. Ago. It is so comfortable love taking it on vacation.

02 Dodge Ram still runs like a champ
Everything about my truck is pretty great, the only downside is it is horrible on gas. The comfort, and reliability are very good. It still runs like a brand new truck and it is 17 years old. It has leather seats and if they are still in very good condition. If the gas mileage wasn't 10mpg it would be the perfect truck. It does everything I need it to do between hauling hay, to pulling the horse trailer.
