2009 Dodge Ram Review
"Instead of trying to out muscle every other truck on the market, Dodge is hoping that a more refined interior and an improved ride will lure buyers away from Ford, GM, and now Toyota."— Edmunds.comEdmunds.com: 2009 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Review
- "For 2009, Ram becomes the only full-size pickup to use a coil-spring rear suspension instead of the traditional leaf-spring arrangement. The result is a remarkably compliant ride with little of the rear-end hop normally exhibited by unloaded pickups."
— ConsumerGuideConsumerGuide: 2009 Dodge Ram Road Test
- "The new 2009 Dodge Ram has the bold and brash style that typifies Dodge, but now it's in a more refined package with more amenities for the occupants."
