Used Dodge Ram 1500 for Sale in San Jose, CA

I purchased my red Dodge Ram 1500 last year 216,000 miles. For the most part, this truck has been a disappointment. Its overall performance has been dismal because of engine and electronic issues. The fuel economy is terrible, and the fuel pump had to be replaced, and oil leaks needed to be plugged. Power windows and locks do not function properly. Sometimes the windows and locks work and sometimes not, which is annoying. In addition, the warning lights turn on even though nothing is wrong. Driving is rough, not smooth except on the highway. However, the exterior of the truck looks great, and the interior is very spacious.

This vehicle is tough. I have driven 8,000 miles in less than two months and haven't had a single issue working it that hard. I live in a rural town where we have nothing but dirt roads, and the pavement we do have is not maintained. I have no loose parts or any type of rattling after daily driving on these roads, so the quality of this vehicle is superb. The interior is very comfortable and has held up well with farm work and kids. There is no wear on the seats whatsoever. The entertainment system is amazing. I can drive safely with the hands-free calling, and the radio can be controlled from the steering wheel. This vehicle has saved me from an accident or two with its braking system as well as the speed in which it accelerates. The performance is amazing! The Ram 1500 also gets decent gas mileage for a V8. I get between 18 and 19 mpg on the freeway and between 17 and 18 mpg when I drive in the city. I also love the style of this truck. It's very sporty looking, which I like. The towing capacity of this truck is also quite impressive. I have pulled our 26-foot travel trailer with it with no problem. The bed of this truck is perfect for hauling my kids' show cattle. I can comfortably fit our "goat tote" in the bed of this truck and load it up with calves and not have to worry about pulling a horse trailer to all the cattle shows!

I was very surprised at how poorly this truck performs. Although the truck is from the Dodge brand, apparently this truck is one of the worst-performing trucks that Dodge has in their product line. While the truck performs fine in the lower gears, it does have problems accelerating or maintaining a high speed in the higher gears. I am incredibly surprised as I have never encountered this problem with any other vehicle.
