This edition of the Ram 1500 is much improved since the last time we tested one in 2004. It rides and handles better -- and it's quieter. The optional full-time four-wheel-drive system and stability control are definite pluses. But the ride remains jittery, the rear seat is cramped, and getting in and out requires a steep climb. The 2500 heavy-duty version (which we also tested) has a harsher ride and longer braking. Both have disappointing fit and finish.
