Ram 1500 5.7 HEMI 20 Year Owner Review. 300k Miles

Over the last 20 years, I've used two nearly identical Ram 1500's for about 150k miles each. Here are my thoughts on the problems I had, the places these trucks took me, and my undecided opinion on the future of Ram trucks and the new RamCharger and Ram Rev..

I've had my 19' RAM 1500 Laramie 5.7L for 6 years now, and I absolutely love it every single day. Every single time I get into it. My first FCA vehicle, and by far the best truck I've ever owned.

Hemi rams are back and here to stay!!!

I have 238k on my 2010 ram hemi. No big issues. Great truck.

Yea I just bought a a Pearl black 2018 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 Hemi with around 90k miles on it. Previous owner did some exhaust work on it and it sounds absolutely beautiful. Its all blacked out and has a lift on it with some wide off road tires. Absolutely in love with the truck. Got it inspected and besides the typical maintenance that was needed like fluid changes, new battery and what not, its in absolutely pristine condition with no leaks or anything. I have a smile on my face every time i drive it.

I have ram1500 2004 with like 325, 000 km still going strong and I’m the original owner and I absolutely love the truck never had any major problems only a minor things they really don’t make them like they used to

Bought a 2015 Ram 1500 Sport brand new and still driving today. Nothing but fluid changes, brakes and tires. This is my third Ram, all have been fantastic trucks. Do your maintenance they will last. A Lot of people confuse the hemi tick with exhaust manifold leaks which Ram is known for and a minor issue.

2014 ram 1500 hemi, best truck I ever owned so far.

Cool truck. I have a '97 Ram 1500 with a 5.9 360 V8 auto with 303, 450 miles on it so far with the original engine and trans. I've owned it for a little over 11 years now and I've put 111, 000 miles on it myself. I'll drive the old truck until it won't run anymore or I can't drive anymore one. I will never own anything else but a Ram truck for now on, Mopar or no car or truck.

Great video, people treat them like shit and then expect them to last, Oil change every 5k and love her a bit.

Nothing but nice things to say about ram/Dodge trucks

At work I see these Rams coming in with 300 k a lot!!! they are runners!

Man what a great story about a great Truck, Thank you for the video, I’ve been a Dodge Truck and car guy all my life and like you they have always been great trucks, They should have left the 5.7 Hemi alone and not added the E Torque.We just purchased a 2025 Dodge Durango RT blacktop addition, We purchased it because no start stop and no E Torque, The latest word is there bringing it back in the pickup trucks and I heard a Cuda is coming with a Hemi too, Long live the 5.7 Hemi truly a great Engine!!!

Owned a 02 1500 with a 5.9 gasser sold with 300, 000km, a 04 2500 5.9 24v diesel which made it to 560, 000km, and now ive got a 21 1500 5.7 gasser. Loved them all.

[chrishedrick]

My first ram was an 08 1500 4.7 with an 6 speed 2x4, somedays i missed it some days i dont. i now i have a 12 with a hemi and i love it just hit 158. love the video man stay safe and God bless

[joepotaczek]

Hopefully my 2020 ram goes that long. So far so good starter, battery and manifolds is it for me 126000 miles. Thanks for the review gives me hope

[daltongiammusso]

[blofmgk]

Great idea 💡 to carry my kayaks on the latter rack, tanks 👍

09 RAM 1500 HEMI with 140K here going strong!

[eamonob]

Just bought a new Ram 1500. Got it with the V6 Pentastar, not the Hemi because I just didn’t need the Hemi. But it’s the same thing in the sense it’s a naturally aspirated engine that will be reliable and pretty easy to work on. Absolutely love the truck so far. It’s my first truck but I’m already a Ram guy.

[jonthebuildingmanager]

I bought one of the last of the Hemis. It was a no brainer for me…this is our 3rd since we had an 08 that we ran up to 350k.
