2003 Dodge Ram SLT review from North America

"A truck that all people should have!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Nothing, except for the truck pulsates when driving down the road with only the rear window (s) down.

General comments?

Amazing truck, with the only complaint being it has almost too much power. yesterday on the freeway I was doing about 60 and it was misty out, adn I went to pass someone, so I gunned it and the back end came loose, revving the engine up to almost red line. I fishtailed across the lane and almost into the center divider, and it was honestly scary, the ground was only damp from overnight mist. but it is fun on empty out-of-the-way streets where you can just stop and let it loose, its fun. the exhuast note is intoxicating.

Now, to the more real-life part. this truck tows my 7000lb trailer FAIRLY easily, but I can definately tell its there. is also very comfortable, heated suede seats, and a lot of other little things that add to its overall appeal and comfort. the ride is smooth for a truck, and on the mountain roads its solid and quiet. I average 10.6 mpg in mixed driving, which is low, but it is a truck.

One thing that does take away from it all, is that when I am driving down the road with only the back windows down, the truck seems to vibrate/pulse, and too the point where it hurts my ears. this goes away when I crack a front window. is this normal?

Off road it performs admirably, and I have yet to get stuck, but once again, sometimes the power is a bit much.

If anyone is looking for a solid, tough, powerful, and beautiful truck, I highly recommend this one.
