Pros: What do you like about 2009 Dodge Ram 1500?
Love the ride and extra horse power. A lot quicker then my 2006 Ram. Smooth tranny shifting feels like I'm driving a sports car.
Great looking interior. I have the laramie quad cab with bucket seats and floor shifter. Dodge did a great job on this aspect off the Ram. You need to add a few inches to the quad and crew cab pan lengths to improve the look.
Cons: How would you improve 2009 Dodge Ram 1500?
The ride height was a big turn off for me and I suspect a lot of other Ram buyers as well. It's a good thing there were lift kits or I would not have brought the new Ram. The pan on the truck looks a bit odd, too, almost like a MINI, a MINI from certain angles, especially on the crew cab which I didn't like at all.
Also give me a choice in off road tires and I'll pay the extra cost. Factory tires are garbage for off roading. Make these changes on the exterior. I'll bet Dodge wins Motor Trend award. I know my trucks.

2009 Dodge Ram 1500 Review:
I am very satisfied with my new truck. This is my second Ram 1500, I also had the 1st model of the new/old body style (2002). Compared to my old truck, it rides a whole lot smoother, not as harsh to steer on bumpy roads.
