It has over 200k miles on it and it still runs like a top.
As most Dodge pickups I have ever ridden in, ours is a little rough and somewhat loud. Other than those things, love it.

Its dependable. Looks great.
Really reliable. I bought it used and I haven't had any problems with it yet. It's a gas guzzler but it runs great. I put off-road wheels on it and it almost feels like a 4x4 truck. I can haul my trailer with it with no problems. I have had it for 2 years now.

Fun for everyone in the family.
We love this vehicle because it does well in snowy weather, there is plenty of room to hall. There is plenty of seating for the whole family. It has heated seats and sirius radio. There really is nothing to complain about. Most of all the kids really enjoy being in a “big truck”.

It's dependable. It requires little upkeep. Very low maintenance cost.
I love the way it looks. I love the power and towing abilities. It's durable and dependable. Only thing I don't like is it has bad gas mileage

It is also a beautiful shade of blue.
It runs great. It has four wheel drive and an extended cab. The bed is handy for picking up and hauling furniture and other items. It has a great running engine that has eight cylinders. We had a Dodge RAM before, they are rugged, dependable trucks. I love my Dodge ram!

Comfortable but durable and reliable
Love our Dodge Ram, pulls our 27ft travel trailer with ease. Fairly good fuel mileage and does a great job in the winter. Has been a big help in hauling large loads of firewood and and other things.

Still on the fence about this truck
This truck has a very expensive exhaust problem and it just keeps happening. DPF filter keeps pluging up. Very expensive truck to run and operate.

The big white monster ride.
It needs a front in alignment and new tires - it is a little banged up just needs a little love. New engine has just been placed in it. The interior needs a deep clean along with new seats or just seats redone. It has a huge travel box on it - needs to be removed. With a fresh update this bad boy will be back on top and looking good.
accountCircle Tyler F
It is clean cool and on point.
My car is the absolute best in the world, I can't believe how awesome it is. Especially on gas. My car is the absolute only kind of car I want to own.

Is The 2008 Dodge Ram 2500 A Good Value?

Used $10,000 to $20,000. Cheaper than a Chevy but would much rather buy a Chevy. The dodge is not worth that much. It is pretty much a working man's truck and that’s all we use it for.
