As seems to be a growing trend among trucks, the 2010 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 fails to see either of the new engines it was scheduled to receive this year – a hybrid and a diesel in this case. Still, fresh from a redesign for the 2009 model year, the Ram 1500 has plenty to wow consumers with its new interior and exterior design, increased features, and more powerful engines.
The base engine is a 3.7-liter V6 that delivers 215 hp and 235 lb-ft of torque, plus an EPA-estimated 14/20 mpg rating with its four-speed automatic transmission. For 95 additional horses and lb-ft of torque, a 4.7-liter V8 is the initial eight-cylinder offering, paired with a five-speed automatic transmission for a 14/19 mpg rating in RWD formation. Four-wheel-drive (4WD) examples will see a 1 mpg penalty in both city and highway driving. The 5.7-liter Hemi V8 offers 390 hp as well as 407 lb-ft of torque, and with Chrysler's Multi Displacement System cylinder deactivation, is capable of a 14/20 return in RWD, with 4WD dropping to 13/18. This engine is also paired with the five-speed automatic, but all come equipped with Chrysler's Interactive Decel Fuel Shut Off, which cuts fuel delivery when decelerating. Maximum towing capacity is 8,950 pounds.
Despite being a smaller engine than GM’s 5.3 or Ford’s 5.4, Dodge's 4.7-liter V8 provides performance that leaves it competitive with its rivals, and the 5.7-liter improves enough on its little brother to make a dramatic difference in both power and delivery. Additionally, the 4.7 is capable of running on E85 gasoline, and all engines require nothing more than regular-grade fuel.
Two of the Ram's biggest improvements last year were in the suspension and the interior. With the inclusion of a coil-spring rear suspension, the Ram became the only full-size pickup truck to utilize this setup as opposed to the more traditional leaf-spring configuration. This has improved its on-road ride substantially, vaulting it past its rivals. Available in ST, SLT, and Laramie trims, the Ram had a significant and long-awaited overhaul of its interior for 2009, which reflects an overall effort on Chrysler’s behalf to improve its much maligned interiors. With fully redesigned controls, accents, improved seating and upholstery, it has so far been a success.
The Ram Pickup 1500 is available in Regular, Quad, and Crew Cab designs, with a 5-foot, 7-inch; 6-foot, 4-inch; or 8-foot box length. While standard drivetrain layout is RWD, all Rams have an available 4WD system – STs and SLTs with a part-time option that cannot be left engaged on dry pavement, and Laramies with a full-time, although both have a low-range gear for off-road use. The NHTSA did not rate side impacts for the 2009 or 2010 Ram 1500, but frontal impacts were awarded five stars, while the Ram 1500 earned a four-star rating for rollover.
What owners say
"Owners generally appreciate the 2010 Dodge RAM 1500 for its powerful performance, spacious interior, and overall reliability. Many love the truck's comfort and excellent features, making it a great choice for both work and everyday use. However, drivers frequently mention concerns about fuel efficiency, noting it can be a bit lacking, especially for those who drive long distances."
outstanding value, great features and in great condition. well worth the price
July 8, 2023I like everything about my truck. The only issue I have had is the electrical system went a little haywire on me when I replaced a damaged driver side mirror. The dash displays a -40 degree which obviously isn't accurate (I live in Alabama). The check engine light came on and the climate controls are acting like it is -40. Every time I start the truck the seat heaters come on, the steering wheel heater comes on and the heater is set to high and on defrost. Once this is resolved I'll have nothing to complain about. If you're in the market for a truck, this is the best one by far!
March 6, 2015This has been an extremely reliable truck that has been maintained to look as feel brand new. The cabin is spacious, has a lot of storage capabilities, and can haul almost anything you need it to. Rides like no other truck I have driven before and handles just like car.

February 2, 20152010 dodge pick up Runs great. Needs no work. Trailer hitch
June 13, 2022Great value, excellent features, super price. Full rear seat, great leg room , Alpine stereo, satellite radio, 2 month free subscription. Sun room power rear sliding window.
January 22, 2021I have always loved dodge trucks and cars, I have owned many in my lifetime. Very stylish and comfortable to drive. I would recommend a dodge truck to everyone thats wants to drive a truck.. Better looking than a ford.
February 21, 2015This truck has everything i wanted in a truck. The only catch is the amont of gas i use. I drive 75 miles a day and am getting 12.4 miles to the gallon. other than that, the truck is great.
April 10, 2014I like just about everything about it. I wish the transmission would shift quicker and more positively. Chrysler engineers should make the sunroof wider, maybe add a panoramic. Shopping for a new one, hate the gold two tone. Gold is so 1980's.
February 5, 2014When you purchase a pick-up truck that has a short bed and regular cab, you know the pros and cons right away. The only negative that took me by surprise is the lack of gas mileage even when set to cruise control on the highway. I did not purchase this truck for gas mi ...so, I'm very happy with this vehicle as is and enjoy driving it very much.
April 5, 2013amazing truck, good with everything except gas is a killer! i love that 5.7 hemi beast. makes towing soo much easier and transporting medium sized stuff cheaper. but overall the truck is a beautiful sexy beast and i love it!
