So far so good

I've had a ram 1500 for over a week now and I can't wait to drive it again. Ram trucks is my new favorite underdog that's heavily underrated. So far so good at least. The truck is a regular cab regular 6 ft bed. Very rarely if ever do you find those and on top that it's got a v8 and 6 speed manual transmission. All other brands never make that combination and it's sad. The truck has had two owner and the last one since 17k miles it now has 175k and looks brand new still. I plant to keep this truck til I die.

Best truck I've ever owned!

This truck carries the weight I need it to and I travel in luxury! Descent leg room but a tad crammed if you have an adult sitting you.

Beautiful Truck inside and Out

A very nice truck. Previous owners really took care of it. Runs like brand new. Very comfortable to drive. Lots of bells and whistles. It will take a month of Sundays to figure it all out.

Most difficult to diagnose and repair

Diagnosing and pin pointing needed repairs is very difficult and exspensive. The Dodge Dealerships do not have a diagnostic system that allows for pin pointing the needed repair. Process of elimination replacement of parts until the needed part is eventually replaced and thus discovered to be the part causing your trucks issue is not only exspensive with no concrete guarantee that you have fixed your trucks malfunction or bad part issues. The Dealership will diagnose, get a code for part replacement, that could be or could not be what’s causing the problem. The larger repair will be determined alleviating the mechanics job of narrowing down a more specific smaller or pin point cause. Your trucks symptoms will not conclude a specific cause. Many possible causes will be presented as possibilities and the process of elimination of replacing parts begins.
