2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Review: An Unreliable, Outdated Half-Ton Truck With Mechanical Problems

Apr 15, 2022

The 2005 Ram 1500 can last around 250,000 miles, but there are some engine and drive shaft issues. At $3,725 – $12,225, it’s expensive for an old truck with that many problems.

The Good

Interior materials are nice, the HEMI V8 is powerful and there are more airbags than rivals.

The Bad

The cabin is smaller than other trucks, it does not have anti-lock brakes standard and the towing capacity is relatively low.

Is the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 a Good Used Truck?

No, 2005 is a bad year. Owners complain about noise issues, head gasket failures, and high ownership costs.
Reliability ratings are below average. Models from 2008 and newer are a better choice with fewer mechanical problems.
Performance is weak from the V6 engine, but the larger V8 offers excellent power.
The Ram 1500 is a safe truck, earning a perfect 5-star rating in government crash tests.
Fuel economy is poor, at up to 16 MPG combined.

Made to last and withstand most abuse.

Most Dodge rams do typically have front end problems as well as sensors. However, it is still out doing Ford! Dodge can definitely handle off-roading better than any other vehicle I have been in. I've seen a Dodge with 535, 500 miles on it. They are built to last and RAM whatever comes its way.

greg P

180,000 miles and going strong

The body rots out . It a reliable truck.

Vicki B

Durable comfort long lasting and looks great.

It is dependable, has never given us any major problems, very well built, runs great and always has, looks good, long lasting, reliable, that is very important when your days is as hectic as ours, as long as you keep up maintenance on a vehicle it should last as long as this one has for us, we love it.

Cynthia G

There are no unique details about my vehicle.

I really have no problems with my truck. I only dislike that it's a gas hogger and I wish the back row of seats was a little more roomier.

evelyn o

MY DODGE IS A VERY DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. I KNOW I CAN DEPEND ON IT,

I really like our truck. It is good looking.It is dependable and has only a few recalls or repairs

Jimena C

Reliable, steady drive , 6 seater

It performs well. My husband recently got new tires , and changed a fuel pump that was having problems. So we technically have like a brand new truck.

Alexis A

Dodge RAM 1500 4dr comfortable family vehicle.

The Dodge RAM 1500 4dr is one of the best trucks I have had. I have three toddlers so it is very spacious the 4dr helps with getting kids in and out. It is a comfortable truck, does amazing on road trips. The only problems I have had is my battery but that is probably my fault otherwise no complaints on it.

Pat J

Cup holders not attached to console-useable when the console in upright position.

Bought this truck for the leg room. I travel several times a year and the truck has comfortable seating (split bench). The cup holders are not attached to, the console so they can be used if console, is in raised position. Plenty of room in the back seat and plenty of room to pack in the bed. I have attached a hard bed cover. I have looked at newer trucks but none compare to the 2005 model.

Negative Owner Reviews

Emily P

It made a really great and loud noise whenever I drove it. Everybody knew i was coming.

This car is really rough on gas. The power steering went out shortly after i bought it. Lots of mechanical problems. I liked to feel high off the ground though

Windy F

It is a pickup not much highlight on it.

It has a lot on problems, we have had to replace the engine, already for a blown head and looks like we will be replacing it again for the same thing, it seems to me that there is to many little problems that pop up, there is a short in the radio that makes it blink.

Angel G

My thoughts on my 2005 dodge ram truck.

My ram truck is good for going between school, home, and work. It old (2005) so it has a few problems here and there. I can go a whole week without having to fill the tank. It has 2 seats in the front and one in the middle if you lift the armrest but there is like no leg room. It also has two seats in the back that fold down but it is a little cramped.

Gordon G

It's comfortable and big which makes me feel safe in it.

My truck has been very reliable over the past couple years. I have met up with simple maintenance such as oil changes and because of that I haven't had any problems. It's very comfortable, but the only problem I have with it is that it eats up a lot of gas.

Lindsey R

It's big and kind of loud, but gets me from point A to point B.

It has over 300k miles and everything is starting to go out. It isn't the most reliable.

Rachel S

I don't know. There's not really anything important about it.

It's an old pick up truck. It uses too much gas. I really need a smaller car.

Mariah M

Old and need a new one but can't afford a new one yet

It has a lot of miles and front end issues, cracked windshield, the two back tires are going bad, the gauge lights come on for no reason sensor is going out oil gauge and temperatures gauge goes crazy. Goes back and forth lights are out on it hail dents all in it and side scrap on the passenger side

Sarah R

It is a beast in the snow.

It's great for winter driving and towing. It is a pain to constantly fix. Because its a truck I don't get to drive it as much as I would like.

What Do Critics Say About the Ram 1500?

Consumer Reports finds the Ram 1500 to be jittery and difficult to steer, with low owner satisfaction ratings.
Edmunds gives the Ram 1500 a 4.7/5 liking the HEMI V8, but disliking the cramped cabin.
Kelley Blue Book users give the Ram 1500 a 4.5/5 and like the towing performance, but dislike the fuel economy.

What Common Problems Does the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Have?

Problems with the 2005 Ram 1500 are fairly serious and include stalling engines, separated drive shafts, and warped rotors.

Stalling engines are the most common complaint, at around 75,000 miles. There are several sources including EGR valves which cost $380, throttle bodies costing $700, and cylinder head failures at over $2,000.

Drive shaft failures show up on many models at roughly 90,000 miles. The drive shaft separates from the differential, and replacing the entire assembly costs over $2,600. There is a recall related to this issue, but it does not always cover the problem.

Warped brake rotors are another problem happening every 20,000 miles. The rotors tend to get damaged easier than other cars, and a new set is around $400.

There are 12 recalls, with the most serious being for the rear axle pinion nut which can cause the driveshaft to detach, increasing the risk of an accident. Many of the other recalls are for air bags and lighting issues.

How Long Will the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Last?

A properly maintained 2005 Ram 1500 series should last around 250,000 miles, about 100,000 miles shorter than a top competitor like the Tundra. Regular annual maintenance costs are expensive, according to Repair Pal at $495 per year.

Ram 1500 models from 2005 likely have over 100,000 miles, so buyers should prepare to replace radiator hoses for $410, exhaust manifolds costing $550, and ball joints which cost $425.

Caryn B

As of right now it never gave me any problems other than rust by the back tires. It's not that great in the snow..

Rebecca M

I haven't come across any significant problems when I have had it. Just headlights seem to go out pretty fast. Other than that that is really the only problem I have had.

Janice C

Yes it is very reliable. Besides normal wear and tear like wheel bearings and brakes, we have had no problems with it

Michelle K

Very Reliable. It has just started having wear and tear issues, New fuel pump. Needs a new Starter. Probably a sensor but at 2245 we can't complain.

Nick S

Has lights in and sensors go off all the time the front end is not the greatest it has been redone but still isn't good and tires are going bad can't afford much of anything sadly

Claudia C

Incredibly reliable. No problems, whatsoever. Regular maintenance like any vehicle requires, but no problems.

How Much Is the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Worth?

Blue book values range from $3,725 – $12,225, making the Ram 1500 around $500 cheaper than an F-150 or Silverado 1500. When new, the price range was $21,455 to $35,475. Depreciation is similar to other trucks, losing about 5% of its current value per year.

What Engines Come In the Ram 1500?

The base engine is a relatively weak 3.7L V6 with only 215 horsepower, which gets up to 16 MPG combined.
An available upgrade is the slightly more powerful 4.7L V8 making 235 horsepower and getting up to 14 MPG combined.
The most powerful engine is the 5.7L V8, which makes 345 horsepower and gets up to 13 MPG combined. It can tow up to 8,200 pounds when properly equipped.

What Colors Does the Ram 1500 Come In?

How Big Is the Ram 1500?

The 2005 Ram 1500 is an average sized half-ton truck similar to the Silverado and F-150. Passenger space is decent in the largest 4-door model, but the other cabs are very cramped for adults.

There are two bed lengths available including a 6-foot-3-inch standard bed, and 8-foot long-bed.

How Does the Ram 1500 Compare to the Competition?

The Ford F-150 is a close competitor costing about $500 more. Reliability ratings are better in the F-150, but the Ram 1500 has a nicer cabin. We recommend the F-150, which will last much longer.

The Toyota Tundra is another rival which costs about $2,000 more. Life-expectancy is much higher in the Tundra, but the Ram 1500 tows more weight. We recommend the Tundra since it’s a more affordable truck to keep running.

The truck is a great vehicle it gets me where I need to get. It also I am able to get big objects home.

Yes it is a very good vehicle. Have had no mechanical problems besides regular wear and tear. Has made dodge the only type of truck I will ever want

Allison P

Ross S on June 14, 2022

It's a fantastic truck

I have the Daytona edition, I am the 2nd owner and it has 122,000+ miles on it. Yeah it has the ram rot, but still looks good to me.I get lots of compliments on it and offers to buy it. It runs great, has the Hemi and the maintenance is done by me. I have owned it for just shy of 5 years and it has never been a money pit. I think it has only cost me about 3500.00 in total over this period of time, including new tires. It runs and drives great, gas mileage is good for the size oof the engine if you drive it reasonably. I have towed my 79' F-150 on a car trailer multiple times,hauled many yards of mulch and I have absolutely no complaints about this truck.

Rocco on June 12, 2023

Ben on July 4, 2022

Review on this page is biased.

I have a 2005 ram with 270k miles. No engine light, no wierd noises, and definately does not jave a small cabin as stated. The hemi is a simple pushrod design that is much more reliable than an f150 from around the same year that sufferes from cam and spark issues. Again, mine has 270k miles on the orginal transmission and engine.

Wanda Hensley on December 29, 2022

Performance of my 2005 DogeRam

The guy said the egr sensor on a Doge Ram 1500 5.7 hemi cost 485.00.No it don't. Cost me 65 at AutoZone. I put it on. I'm not even a mechanic. But let me tell you. Since I changed it. Omg I get Awesome gas mileage. Totally Awesome....My Ram is badass. I'm Very pleased with the performance.

George on May 17, 2022

Truck runs great

I have 1500 single cab 3.7L V6, automatic, 2WD ABS with 125,000 miles. Had all the maintenance done since I bought it new, first time I ever did that. Truck runs great no problems, just regular servicing.

George on May 17, 2022

Runs great

Arne on August 15, 2023

Love truck..HATE the rust !

Best running, Great towing Rust nightmare... Rust repairs every 2 years for the past 10 years..

Jessica C on March 30, 2021

It's great on gas. Much better than most think.

I love that my truck has a hemi. I have a very powerful truck, it also has a towing gear to help if you have to pull a trailer. It is amazing on gas as well. And it has a sunroof. I think the only thing I do not like about it would be that it has over 200,000 miles. But we are the second owner the truck has ever had.

Ben S on March 13, 2021

Fun truck that gets decent gas mileage when I drive it conservatively.

Very reliable and have had few problems. Would definitely look to buy another one when the time comes.

Toka P on March 12, 2021

We are a Dodge family. Love owning one

We have had the vehicle for almost a year and had only minor problems. We purchased the vehicle used so the maintenance may have been lacking.

Braxton B on March 11, 2021

05 Dodge RAM 1500 perfect package for a daily driver or a work truck.

I love my 05 Dodge RAM 1500 it has the perfect about of torque to horsepower ratio it is got a very comfortable interior as well as it being spacious. It rides very well even with a load behind it the towing features on this truck really help you went towing a heavy load uphill. As far as weight I have safely pulled with this truck it has done just fine with 8 thousand pounds behind it with minimal difference in braking. And lastly when I drive my truck it feels dependable like I just know it will start every day and will take anything I can throw at it.

evelyn o on February 27, 2021

MY DODGE IS A VERY DEPENDABLE VEHICLE. I KNOW I CAN DEPEND ON IT,

I really like our truck. It is good looking.It is dependable and has only a few recalls or repairs

Ashley D on February 26, 2021

2005 dodge ram 1500 hemi review

Rides rough, cheap quality as far as interior appearance and feature, has a lot of road noise while driving, have had constant issues with the shocks in the front it's just a poor design I think, and it's a hemi however it doesn't sound like one and I feel it should sound tough like a hemi.

James M on February 26, 2021

It drives real good too good to be as old as it is.

I like my truck it has new tires I am not trying to sell my truck why would I sell my truck now I just bought It.

vin S on February 22, 2021

The dependability and durability of this truck.

I like the power and the style and love Dodge. I really think I want another Dodge in the future.

Nicholas D on February 21, 2021

It is very comfortable and capable

It is very capable, 4 wheel drive, high towing capacity, comfortable ride

Joseph A on February 19, 2021

The air conditioning is inadequate, despite operating correctly.

I like the way it drives and the utility of it. Wish it had more power and a higher towing capacity.

Ray D on January 28, 2021

Gas mileage isn't very good

Holds up well. It is hard on gas.Easy maintenance

Jerri B on January 20, 2021

It does have some engine problems that I am constantly having repaired.

I love my truck. It's very comfortable on long trips and still looks good to be older. I have had a lot of engine problems over the years.

Penny S on January 13, 2021

Our dodge ram. It saves on gas for a week depending on how much gas we put in it.

Our dodge ram 1500 is a great truck. It run real good and we really haven't had any problems with it. But it is time to change the tire's all four of them.. We depend on our dodge ram. It takes us everywhere. It is really a great truck. And we can travel far and it will make it without stopping.

Jon A on January 12, 2021

Keeps me and my family safe. Very stable and smooth ride.

Gets me from point A to point B safely and securely. Able to haul big items for moving. Comfortable ride.

Marion H on January 6, 2021

With this truck it will be a long time before I buy a new one

I love my truck. When I buy the truck it had 100,000 miles and now it has almost 300,000 and still running strong

Michael S on January 4, 2021

Like a best friend, it looks a bit scruffy, but it is there when you need it.

It is an awesome truck! I have pulled a trailer with a huge pontoon boat, hauled materials for home improvement projects, and even purchased a used 40 foot radio tower to set up at your home. (the tower was disassembled into 8 foot sections. ) The only negative thing is how fast the gas gauge goes from full to empty. But it runs great, always starts when I need it to, and with 4 wheel drive, I can go almost every place I need to.

Alexander T on December 30, 2020

My 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 rumble bee with a 5.7L Hemi Magnum v8

It's a great truck! Love my dodge ram. Then and now she has been a great truck all these 13 years.

Over time, old age. THings break. But this truck has been my truck for 13 years and I loved this truck then and now.

Rachel S on December 26, 2020

I don't know. There's not really anything important about it.

It's an old pick up truck. It uses too much gas. I really need a smaller car.

eva M on December 26, 2020

I have no complaints it is a very reliable truck it gets good gas mileage

I had my truck since 2005. I have no complaints. I had just general maintenance on it no major problems

Linda S on December 24, 2020

It runs great and has decent gas mileage.

It is a good truck and has not given me a lot of trouble. Plan on keeping it as long as I can.. Had to have the air conditioner worked on... I have a cover on the bed and the clear coat is coming off of it and it makes my truck look bad..

Roman P on December 22, 2020

2005 Dodge Ram 1500 Pros and Cons

The Ram 1500 is a very relatable and practical car for people who need to use a car for working and hauling things. The biggest downfall of the car is the fuel economy. Currently I only can get 11 miles to the gallon being that it has a 5.7 liter engine but it very powerful and useful for hauling trailers and such. Strictly speaking about the inside of the Ram 1500 it is very roomy and nice. The black leather insides is very comfortable with the captain's chair included. Lastly, the speaker system end electronics are average to moderate at best.

Sandra S on October 31, 2020

I love dodge ram pickup truck.

I love my dodge ram pickup. It's good on gas mileage and has a lot of 'get up and go' for a 6 cylinder engine. I did have a pretty serious problem with the transmission that had to be worked on a few years back, but other than that, no problems at all.

Terry H on October 19, 2020

I call her Scarlett, my work horse.

My vehicle is a very basic model. It's very comfortable and reliable. The only problems I have had have been normal aging wear and tear. The crimson color is quite marvelous. And while it is only a 1500, it's quite the work horse for my purposes. I love my truck.

Vicki B on October 1, 2020

Durable comfort long lasting and looks great.

Eric S on September 29, 2020

The Dodge Ram 1500 is reliable and has been a good vehicle to drive and own.

My Dodge Ram 1500 has been very reliable and I have not had to replace any major systems like the engine or transmission.

Jimena C on September 14, 2020

Reliable, steady drive , 6 seater

It performs well. My husband recently got new tires , and changed a fuel pump that was having problems. So we technically have like a brand new truck.

David G on September 10, 2020

Big rims although nice can really damage your transmission.

Typical car problems with time, with me personally I suggest not putting rims. Trucks are already heavy as it is so adding rims put more weight which makes your transmission work harder and can potentially damage your transmission. Dodge is a really good brand of trucks, mine is a 2005 and still going strong.

Angela S on September 6, 2020

Dodge RAM has the power to get things done.

My truck is great! No matter what situation I face, I know that I can hop in my truck and I will have no problem getting the job done. I never have to worry if I need to move my truck in a hurry. It is got plenty of power. It will really get up and go when I need it to.

Cynthia G on August 30, 2020

There are no unique details about my vehicle.

I really have no problems with my truck. I only dislike that it's a gas hogger and I wish the back row of seats was a little more roomier.

L S on August 25, 2020

Strongest women put her in a car is our car strong bold independents.

The Durango well it is actually we call her Linda she came into the family in 2007. She has been in two car crashes another were just surfers dents but one of the main problems is with the bumper and the falling of the car. We have gotten her fixed multiple of time but sometimes she will struggle. She has taken us from Michigan to Florida with no problem we do this every year so she has a lot of mileage.

Timothy A on August 21, 2020

Great performance and fuel economy better than expected.

I bought this truck used with 184, 000 miles. Very pleased with the performance of the hemi v8. Being a 14 year old truck it has a lot of squeaks and rattles which is disappointing. I guess it must be normal for the age and mileage. With all said and done I will most likely purchase another Dodge/ RAM product.

GARY C on August 14, 2020

It is a truck so it drives like a truck, rides like a truck. It is fun to drive.

It is easy to work on. It is dependable. Great highway mileage. My wife says it is hard to get into. It could have a bigger gas tank.

Chris W on August 2, 2020

Amazing on gas and has a lot of room also great for families.

My truck is amazing on gas it definitely lasts a lot longer than I thought it would along with other trucks. Fits all the kids and makes my life so much easier. Good for adventures and family trips. Plenty of room and easy with kids as well. Luckily I don't have any issues or problems with my truck and it's one of the best purchases I have made in my life.

Aerial M on July 30, 2020

This truck should be called Old faithful

I love the room and style of my truck. However, it seems to have a lot of issues with the wheel system. I'm no mechanic at all so excuse me if I used the wrong wording. The alignment every thing that connects tires and steering wheel have problems. The seats are very comfortable. You have plenty of storage space available in the truck. The tail bed is big enough to move a single family home. May have to make 2 or 3 trips depending on your furniture. I also like the fact that the truck isn't to high off the ground. That way if you have knee or back problems it won't be rough on you. They also have a good hand and foot support available for all four passengers! All in all its old faithful! So many ways you can customize your truck to make it your own.

J H on July 16, 2020

It's durable and functional. Lasts a really long time.

I love the look outside and in. I love the color and model. I like the room for passengers. I like the towing ability.

Sam H on July 1, 2020

It's old but reliable. The engine is practically new.

It needs body work. It runs like a champ. It could use some new seats maybe.

Tim T on June 25, 2020

The truck always runs for just a basic model without all the bells and whistles.

The Dodge truck I bought back in 2005 is the best truck I have ever bought, I have only had to do the basic maintenance along with the thermostat, 02 sensors and ac fan other than that my truck always starts and runs and never lets me down, it's great for trips and enough room for the family.

Sarah R on June 23, 2020

It is a beast in the snow.

It's great for winter driving and towing. It is a pain to constantly fix. Because its a truck I don't get to drive it as much as I would like.

greg P on June 21, 2020

180,000 miles and going strong

The body rots out . It a reliable truck.

B.M.C on June 16, 2020

Love this truck

I bought in 2016 with 150K on the odometer and it's been good to me except I have some rust repair to do on the wheel wells. The rust isnt showing but I have bubbles in the paint which I didnt when I bought it. The NorthEast winters are brutal and the same with what the town trucks put on the road even though I wash off the salt and etc. As long as you dont drive it like you stole it meaning do the speed limit and you will wont have to worry about rear ends. Check ur fluids in ur diffs. I switched to synthetic oil for all. Which makes a difference. Other than regular maintenance and some rust repair this truck has already saved me in a collision from a car parked in the road and besides just busting my bumber nothing was damaged. Great truck the 05 is. 05 Quad cab 1500 5.7L

al B on June 15, 2020

Always having to fix things

Like the style ,too many problems always having to fix something

Jen P on May 31, 2020

It doesn't get good gas mileage.......................

It is expensive to fix. When one thing needs to be repaired often times many other parts need to be removed.

Amanda W on May 27, 2020

It's gets us where we need to go!

I love our vehicle mainly for sentimental value reason,it was my husbands truck who passed away. It has been a great truck and it's still in descent condition although it's old. The only thing I don't like is the poor gas mileage with such a big engine and now the a/c doesn't work well. Runs good.

Kathy B on May 20, 2020

Dodge ram. The workhorse of the self employed.

Reliable. A real workhorse. Plenty of cabin room and cargo space. Do wish it had the extended cab, though.

Timothy O on May 12, 2020

That it is very reliable and dependable.

The truck has been really reliable. The hemi motor really gives me the power I need when it comes to towing or hauling a load. It is very roomy on the inside and sits 6 people comfortable. I've had the vehicles since 2006 and it has never given me a bit of trouble. Other than regular maintenance it has been really reliable. Could not ask for a better truck even though now I am ready for a brand new one.

Drew P on May 2, 2020

Great, made of pure American steel

Been running great for the time I've had it. It's a beast and can get the job done no matter what it is. I've had no issues at all the most reliable truck I've had. It's red with a v8 engine and four wheel drive never been stuck in snow or anything. It's awesome

Robert R on April 26, 2020

It's a great make and model long lasting truck and it's good for you to get it for you and family

Nothing I love the truck it's never gave me no reason for me to get another one

Durability and best looking truck of all pick-ups

I’m subject to buying a new DODGE RAM which would be my 4th one and travel the USA. My two sons and 3 grandsons just love the RAM. When I travel the USA I probably will drive from Atlanta to Washington State and eastward touching Canada via Massachusetts, New York etc. The. RAM should serve me fine.

Every man should have a truck! It is dependable and always ready for the job!

I love my Dodge Ram. I was looking for another make and model of a truck and came across this truck. Love the way it rides and hauls.
