Consumer Reviews from Edmunds.com:
"This truck truly deserves all the top ratings! My Ram is a 10 out of 10!! The guys at Dodge really exceeded my expectations here. When I think of trucks I think of performance and though I didn't step up to the big dog Hemi, I am still getting 310 HP from my 4.7L. It has the power to haul what I need and the speed and agility to cruise on the highway. It all comes together once I hop into the cab though. The very best thing about this Ram... the rear suspension. The payload on this truck is at or better than GM, Ford and of course Toyota, and yet the ride is 10x smoother. It's not typical to describe a truck with words like comfort and control, but the Ram is clearly tops!"
"Purchased last day of the year '09, took immediate delivery. All it took was a test drive. The forward look of the grille, the power of the 390HP Hemi, and the 20" wheels...This thing rides like a dream, handles the corners great, and steers with one finger. It's like driving a car on steroids!"
"The only truck in its class that truly, finally accomodates taller people. The bucket seating actually supports your leg to your knee, awesome for long trips. Especially if like me your not 5'5 or have a sciatic nerve that rears its ugly head on long trips. They have hit the mark on the interior design, a quiet firm ride. I think the fuel economy is consistent for the truck, right where I expected it to be. I was sick of sitting on chopped seats so a manufacturer can brag about leg room sacrificing my comfort. My Ram is just plain fun to drive with 390hp, long drives go by to quickly with the excellent interior comforts and ride. Overall best truck and ride I've owned."
"I absolutely love this truck. I have only had it for about 2-months but I cant get in and drive enough. The ride is unreal, like riding on a cloud and for a truck that's saying something. The feel of the road is fabulous. And it pulled my 21' fiberglass bass boat like it wasn't even there."

Take a truck this far, and you start closing in on outright perfection. Introducing the next big leap for pickups - the incredible all-new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500. This is where all-new styling translates into best-in-class* aerodynamics. Where a class-exclusive* five-link coil-spring rear suspension means
exceptional comfort without compromising payload. Where a redesigned 5.7-liter HEMI® V8 featuring the innovative Multi-Displacement System (MDS) generates more power with greater efficiency. In fact, we met the challenge head on, with an all-new model: 2009 Ram Crew 1500 features class-exclusive* storage so innovative, it turns the tables on conventional pickups. This is how you Grab Life by the Horns -with the all-new 2009 Dodge Ram 1500.
NOW THE GOING IS BETTER THAN EVER.
The refinements to all-new 2009 Ram 1500 include interiors that have been completely redesigned,with comfort and convenience setting a new standard.
THE ALL-NEW RAM CREW 1500.
Meet the first true crew cab size for Ram light duty. All-new Ram Crew 1500 expands the Ram family with innovative storage in and out. The larger interior, with three more inches of rear leg room and four more cubic feet of interior volume when compared to Ram Quad Cab,® offers spacious seating for up to six adults. Even expanded, this all-new Ram Crew 1500 is conveniently "garageable."
ALL-NEW SOFT-TOUCH INTERIOR
This all-new pickup distinguishes itself with touches you can immediately feel and see. The redesigned interior features soft-touch upholstery, panels, and door treatments. Cloth seats feature Stain Repel fabrics - also resistant to odors and static.
HEATED STEERING WHEEL.
The available heated steering wheel is another first for Dodge - a fine touch to the interface that keeps you in control of the vehicle. The steering wheel also contains EVIC controls - the Electronic Vehicle Information Center - an interactive digital display on the instrument cluster. The at-a-glance menu displays a wealth of instant information.
*Based on Automotive News full-size pickup segmentation.
1. ALL-NEW INSTRUMENTATION AND CONTROLS
Improvements are everywhere, from fit and finish to the ergonomics of the interior. Attention to small details - like larger controls to better accommodate gloved hands - give all-new Ram 1500 unexpected touches of luxury and convenience throughout.
2. PREMIUM UPHOLSTERY WITH AVAILABLE STITCHING ACCENTS
The all-new interior focuses on total comfort and next-generation convenience. Look for improved leather-trimmed upholstery and seat bolsters, with tailor-made stitching.
3. ALL-NEW VENTILATED FRONT SEATS AND HEATED REAR SEATS
Available for Sport and Laramie: New internal seat fans circulate cooler ambient cabin air while drawing heat away from the seat surfaces. The microscopic vents in the seats allow ventilation. For cool climates, new Ram Crew 1500 features front and rear heated seats.
MORE POWER.
New cylinder heads feature high-flow ports, larger valves and increased compression ratio; results are measured directly in performance. The unique nature of the hemispherical cylinder head is what gives the legendary 5.7-liter HEMI V8 with MDS such clout in the world of trucks - and now it's better than ever.
MORE TORQUE.
New for the HEMI V8 is a technology not uncommon in Formula One race cars - Variable Valve Timing [VVT]. VVT offers increased engine breathing throughout the rpm range by varying the points at which the valves open and close in conjunction with piston position. Results are tangible: better performance, more efficient operation, and increased torque for towing and hauling.
MORE EFFICIENCY. Note the new Short Runner Valve [SRV] Active Intake Manifold. Here, air intake flow is more efficiently controlled by changing port length based on engine rpm. At low speeds, the manifold uses a longer port path for abundant low-end torque; at higher speeds, the manifold uses a short port; air moves faster into the combustion chamber. The SRV manifold contributes to more power and torque.
REAL FUEL SAVINGS WITH MDS.
The innovative Multi-Displacement System [MDS] is genius at work. By seamlessly deactivating half of the cylinders, MDS transforms that legendary V8 into a 4-cylinder fuel sipper.*
5.7-Liter HEMI® V8 with MDS.
Now featuring Variable Valve Timing [VVT] with new Active Intake Manifold, the redesigned HEMI V8 churns out very impressive output - up to 390 horsepower, 407 lb-ft of torque.
4.7-Liter fle x fuel V8.
Highflow cylinder heads and exhaust manifolds - plus dual spark plug technology and E85 compatibility. 310 horsepower, 330 lb-ft of torque. 3.7-Liter V6.
Standard. Competitive in power and torque to larger engines, with Electronic Throttle Control. 215 horsepower, 235 lb-ft of torque. 545RFE 5-speed automatic . Standard with 4.7-liter and 5.7-liter 2WD/4WD applications. Features the ultra-practical Tow/Haul Mode and new Electronic Range Select [ERS]. 42RLE 4-speed automatic . Specific to 3.7-liter 2WD applications. Features Tow/Haul mode and new Electronic Range Select (ERS). NVG243 Trans fer Case . Part-time, two-speed transfer case; three operating ranges plus neutral; aluminum composition, and electronically operated with panel-mounted instrument switch. NVG246 Trans fer Case . This two-speed operates on-demand. Major componentry is of tough magnesium. Features four operating ranges, plus neutral. Electronically operated with instrument panel-mounted switch. At the low range, reduction ratio is a capable 2.72 to 1.
STYLE THAT WORKS.
Yes, all-new Ram 1500 is stunning to look at. But the engineering is all about performance, quality, and capability. THE AERODYNAMIC ADVANTAGE. What you see is a dramatic forward-raking grille and new exterior - but the story is bigger: This redesign is about reducing air friction and drag. The results are best-in-class* aerodynamics, a design touch that helps improve fuel consumption, further reduces wind noise, and channels rain and water away from the windshield much more effectively.
INTEGRATED REAR SPOILER.
As part of the tailgate design, the spoiler also functions to channel airflow away from the body - with measurable improvements helping to reduce drag. TRIPLE-SEALING FOR DOORS. All-new door seals for Ram 1500 are a triple-play of advantages: They help lock out road noise, create an air tight seal, and boost the interior comfort level.
BULLET-PROOF FRAME
Along with an all-new rear suspension design, the new frame is fully boxed and comprised of Advanced High-Strength Steel [AHSS] rated at an astounding 85,000 psi tensile strength. This frame is designed to be the strongest ever in a Ram, with benefits that include reduced weight, increased torsional rigidity and improved structural performance.
SMOOTH RIDE AHEAD.
Taken together, improvements to the 2009 Ram 1500 frame add up to quality of ride: less noise, vibration and harshness, enhanced handling and comfort.
FRONT SUSPENSION.
If you've got a success, build on it: Front suspension improvements range from lighter weight, lower ride height, new front springs and the new tubular
stabilizer bar for greater ride control.
STOP IT. NOW.
When it comes to stopping, we're moving forward: The comprehensive brake system includes 4-wheel vented disc brakes with an antilock braking system
[ABS]. The new Electronic Stability Program [ESP] includes All-Speed Traction Control, Brake Assist, Electronic Roll Mitigation, Hill Start Assist (HSA),
and Trailer Sway Control [TSC]. It's all about safety and security - which is why all of these features are standard on all-new 2009 Ram 1500 models.
FULL SIZE TOWING CAPABILITY:
You think power-train, but we offer a power trip. 2009 Ram 1500 now offers new Electronic Range Select [ERS] and its new available floor console shift lever, allowing you to manually limit the top available gear. Additional towing-made-easy systems - like Trailer Sway Control [TSC] and Brake Assist - come standard; they're all part of the extraordinary Electronic Stability Program* [ESP] system. Even the tow hooks and trailer hitch have been redesigned. It all gives you exceptional payload and towing capability, enhanced control, better ride quality and handling - and stopping power like never before.
INTEGRATED HITCH RECEIVER :
When more towing capability is needed, Ram offers a Class IV hitch receiver. The attachment points of the redesigned hitch-to-frame design offer benefits like reduced torsion on the frame and improved overall vehicle NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) control.
HEMI® V8 Power and torque The redesigned 5.7-liter HEMI V8 features Variable Valve Timing [VVT], dual spark plug technology, and the innovative Multi-Displacement System [MDS], all contributing to fuel efficiency. Power is as impressive - but is now more efficient - than ever.
All-newers with floor console shift lever Electronic Range Select offers enhanced driver control. A simple touch to the left or right results in instantaneous down or up-shifting, for superb towing control based on road and engine speed.
Class-exclusive*, all-new RAMBOX. Meet the RamBox Cargo Management System, for capability that's all-new and all-inclusive: dry, lockable and lighted storage bins, one on each side of the bed, large enough for big tools or a bag of golf clubs; a dual-function bed extender/divider; a cargo rail system with adjustable cleats. Available on all-new 2009 Ram Crew 1500.
Bed extender/divider
It instantly adapts, allowing customization of the cargo area at any time. It's stored at the front of the bed when not in use. Pop it out, unfold it, put it in place - and you've extended your cargo bed by an appreciable amount. Also note the cargo rail system with four fully adjustable cleats. It's all part of the innovative, fully integrated RamBox Cargo Management System.
Iron-clad safety and security features.
Take more than 30 safety and security features along for the ride. Dodge Ram 1500 takes the technology of safety and security to the next level - virtually invisible to the driver and passengers, but right there when you need it. The new chassis features hydro-formed front crush zones, improved side-impact protection, an enhanced Accident Response System, advanced multistage front air bags, and standard supplemental side-curtain air bags.* Topping
it off is the available rear park assist system, ParkSense.® ALL-NEW RAM: BRAKES The most comprehensive and advanced standard braking system ever on Dodge Ram, it's designed to do far more than stop you in your tracks. For 2009, all-new Ram 1500 offers an available power/memory adjustable brake pedal along with the standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP)? braking and towing stability system.
Anti-lock braking system [ABS] Standard, this four-wheel anti-lock brake system is an electronically operated multichannel system that controls each brake individually; the electrical system is independent from all other circuits. ABS is part of the Electronic Stability Program [ESP]. ESP sensors are so sophisticated, they can determine slippage and allowance in off-road conditions - like dirt or gravel hills.
Electronic stability program [ESP] By combining and interpreting information from sensors, driver input, and software, ESP helps the driver maintain
vehicle directional stability under many different driving conditions.
Trailer sway control [TSC] TSC can recognize a swaying trailer and automatically apply any individual wheel's brakes and/or reduce the engine's power
in the attempt to eliminate the trailer sway. TSC applies brake pressure at all four wheels to slow the vehicle, while increasing pressure on one front
wheel to counteract the sway.
All-speed traction control Wheel slippage in wet or icy conditions is controlled across the board, making adjustments to the engine and brakes.
Hill start assist [HSA] Class-exclusive§ HSA is especially valuable on the off-road or on inclines. HSA maintains brake pressure until enough engine
torque is produced for forward motion.
Electronic roll mitigation [ERM] Sophistication at every turn: If the ERM system detects a potential rollover [for example, a corner taken too sharply; a swerve to avoid a problem], it automatically applies the correct brakes and controls the throttle.
Brake Assist This adjunct to the anti-lock braking system senses the speed or force used by the driver to press the brake pedal. If it determines that an emergency stop is underway, it makes sure full brake pressure is applied instantly to help shorten stopping distances.
Tire pressure monitor Should the air pressure in any tire be significantly reduced, you're forewarned by audible and visible warnings from the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System. Standard on all models. protection in milliseconds Dual-action side-curtain air bags* are twice the volume of the previous model, cover all side windows - and stay active for five seconds.
Dodge Invented Dependability:
Durability TESTING
Pre-production testing for all-new 2009 Ram 1500 surpassed nine million customer-equivalent miles. This is a truck built to last a lifetime. It's only fitting that the Dodge brothers coined the term "dependability" in the early 1900s. Dodge pushes pre-production testing to the limit - and then takes it further. We create tests that require these trucks to perform far beyond predictable daily use. We demand that components exceed conventional tolerances. We place power-trains under stresses that are unreasonable in real life. And you benefit. Testing techniques can be summed up in a single word: brutal. Our Power-train Wide-Open Throttle Testing can run continuously - for up to 3,000 hours. Thermodynamic Chamber Testing in controlled cycles takes Ram to literal extremes - from minus 20 up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Add it on, Ram can take it: Electromagnetic Pulse Testing for reliability. Acoustic Lab Testing to ensure minimal noise intrusion.
Emissions Lab Testing to meet current regulations. And the list goes on. In the end, this is the toughest and most reliable benchmark that Dodge has ever built.
For the truest test of Ram endurance and quality, just put them to work in the toughest environments from morning to night - and be prepared to measure
reliable performance over decades. From the recent additions of the ultra-heavy-duty Ram 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs to the newest Ram in the field - all-new 2009 Ram Crew 1500 - here's the strength and sureness to meet any challenge head-on. The family of Ram pickups and Chassis Cabs gives you everything a truck owner could ever want - and then some.

The new chassis features hydro-formed front crush zones, improved side-impact protection, an enhanced Accident Response System, advanced multistage front air bags, and standard supplemental side-curtain air bags.* Topping
it off is the available rear park assist system, ParkSense.® ALL-NEW RAM: BRAKES The most comprehensive and advanced standard braking system ever on Dodge Ram, it's designed to do far more than stop you in your tracks. For 2009, all-new Ram 1500 offers an available power/memory adjustable brake pedal along with the standard Electronic Stability Program (ESP)? braking and towing stability system.
Anti-lock braking system [ABS] Standard, this four-wheel anti-lock brake system is an electronically operated multichannel system that controls each brake individually; the electrical system is independent from all other circuits. ABS is part of the Electronic Stability Program [ESP]. ESP sensors are so sophisticated, they can determine slippage and allowance in off-road conditions - like dirt or gravel hills.
Electronic stability program [ESP] By combining and interpreting information from sensors, driver input, and software, ESP helps the driver maintain
vehicle directional stability under many different driving conditions.
Trailer sway control [TSC] TSC can recognize a swaying trailer and automatically apply any individual wheel's brakes and/or reduce the engine's power
in the attempt to eliminate the trailer sway. TSC applies brake pressure at all four wheels to slow the vehicle, while increasing pressure on one front
wheel to counteract the sway.
All-speed traction control Wheel slippage in wet or icy conditions is controlled across the board, making adjustments to the engine and brakes.
Hill start assist [HSA] Class-exclusive§ HSA is especially valuable on the off-road or on inclines. HSA maintains brake pressure until enough engine
torque is produced for forward motion.
Electronic roll mitigation [ERM] Sophistication at every turn: If the ERM system detects a potential rollover [for example, a corner taken too sharply; a swerve to avoid a problem], it automatically applies the correct brakes and controls the throttle.
Brake Assist This adjunct to the anti-lock braking system senses the speed or force used by the driver to press the brake pedal. If it determines that an emergency stop is underway, it makes sure full brake pressure is applied instantly to help shorten stopping distances.
Tire pressure monitor Should the air pressure in any tire be significantly reduced, you're forewarned by audible and visible warnings from the Tire
Pressure Monitoring System. Standard on all models. protection in milliseconds Dual-action side-curtain air bags* are twice the volume of the previous model, cover all side windows - and stay active for five seconds.
Dodge Invented Dependability:
Durability TESTING
Pre-production testing for all-new 2009 Ram 1500 surpassed nine million customer-equivalent miles. This is a truck built to last a lifetime. It's only fitting that the Dodge brothers coined the term "dependability" in the early 1900s. Dodge pushes pre-production testing to the limit - and then takes it further. We create tests that require these trucks to perform far beyond predictable daily use. We demand that components exceed conventional tolerances. We place power-trains under stresses that are unreasonable in real life. And you benefit. Testing techniques can be summed up in a single word: brutal. Our Power-train Wide-Open Throttle Testing can run continuously - for up to 3,000 hours. Thermodynamic Chamber Testing in controlled cycles takes Ram to literal extremes - from minus 20 up to 180 degrees Fahrenheit. Add it on, Ram can take it: Electromagnetic Pulse Testing for reliability. Acoustic Lab Testing to ensure minimal noise intrusion.
Emissions Lab Testing to meet current regulations. And the list goes on. In the end, this is the toughest and most reliable benchmark that Dodge has ever built.
For the truest test of Ram endurance and quality, just put them to work in the toughest environments from morning to night - and be prepared to measure
reliable performance over decades. From the recent additions of the ultra-heavy-duty Ram 4500 and 5500 Chassis Cabs to the newest Ram in the field - all-new 2009 Ram Crew 1500 - here's the strength and sureness to meet any challenge head-on. The family of Ram pickups and Chassis Cabs gives you everything a truck owner could ever want - and then some.
