"I turned in my 2010 Toyota Tundra and bought the 2011 Ram Big Horn edition with the full towing package and Hemi engine. I only went with it over another Tundra because a friend at the Dodge dealer gave me a great deal (or so I thought). It isn't the big things that bother me, it is lots of little things. The chrome on the interior is a constant irritant with light being reflected into my eyes, a rust spot on the bed, no 2x4 holder in the front of the truck bed, water on the roof drips onto the rear seats, the brakes are not nearly as good as the Tundra, more body roll than the Tundra, and the suspension is clearly not designed to tow the 10,000+ lbs for which it is rated. The entire truck (from roof to brakes) feels like it was designed by a really good mini-van designer, who never tows anything."

"This truck is the best vehicle I've ever owned. Its exterior looks are beautiful. the interior feels great to the touch and is so good looking. The HEMI V8 is flawless. It will burn its tires off the line and shift perfectly every time. the gas millage is good but i have a hard time maintaining it because the sound the motor makes when you drop the hammer is amazing. I have owned many vehicles (BMW,ford,chevy,infiniti,jeep) and this is by far the best. im never going to get rid of it"

"have owned 4 rams before this by far is the best in ride comfort.the new ram sounds even better.purchased a new nissan truck for gas milage reasons with v6 the new ram beats the nissan hands down in gas milage and hated the nissan so i purchased a new ram sorry for pushing ram to the curve.truck has over 40000 miles on it and still no problems. grew up riding in fords and never could love them after seeing daddy fight the problems with the stupid front ends on them. wear front tires out since new."

"bought this truck used in january of 2012.Truck had 35000 miles on has 42000 on it now.So far no problems or complaints.Every manufacture has its problems they are all machines with different names.Ford and chevy owners don't get that.Have owned four more ram trucks in the past from 1995 to present I'm very happy with them.My daddy all ways owned ford when I was growing up.Couldn't keep front tires on it due to the junky front ends that rode good but was junk never could love a ford.When it came time for me to buy my first truck I was going to buy a chevy but I drove a brand new 1992 dodge dakota with a 318 magnum boy was that thing fast loved it.When dodge changed the body style in 1994 on the ram I just had to have one.This truck is comfortable,plenty of power,very pleased with fuel mileage better then my 2004 dodge dakota 4.7.traded it for a nissan frontier was not at all happy with fuel mileage in a v6 or ride.Traded it after putting 5000 miles on it will not do that again sorry dodge keep up the good work."

"Mine is the RAM 1500 SLT Quad. Zero issues and the performance has yet to be matched, especially for the price. Supple Car like ride with truck capability. I will never own any other brand truck! 30,000 miles and nothing to complain!!"

"I've had a Ram 1500 for 8 months, bought it at the end of the year. The pricing sounded great but compared to my 08 GMC 1500 it's gas milage performance sucks. I'm getting 12.5 MPG when I was getting no less than 18 MPG in the GMC, the styling is cheap and the outdoorsman package isn't worth the extra from the standard SLT."

"The pick-up is more like driving a Cadillac and yet, it is built to tow a good size travel trailer. The interior styling and appointments are exceptional. The Laramie contains functionality not found in most luxuary cars. The Ram 1500 is a worthly recommendation to consider, but I would not suggest buying it from the dealer located in Rockaway, NJ."

"Wow, where to begin. I Purchased my 2011 Ram 1500 CC with the 5.7 Hemi Brand new. I was pretty happy with it for about the first 6 months. After that, things started happening. Over the next 15 months i had the truck in the shop 22 times. Everything from the AC compressor, Radio (Twice for this, both just quit working), Driver side Power Window Switch, Cruise Control, A Rattling Noise super annoying in the dash (in 3 diff times), Front right strut Leaking, and others i cant think of right now. The last straw however was the Rear Differential was making a loud humming noise when accelerating. Worst Truck ive ever owned. Finally traded it in, and got something else. I will NEVER purchase another Chrysler Product."

"I looked and looked at trucks. I originally wanted a ram sport but fell in love my my express crew. It looks the same on the outside without the fancy interior and I still get the hemi. I have mostly been a Chevy guy but this truck convinced me to change. The ride, power, room,and MPG are all great. I get 18mpg with a FS crew cab 4x4 with a hemi. I used to own a 2wd 4cyl reg cab s10 and got 24mpg the same trip. This is a lot of truck drive one and you will buy it period."
