Outstanding vehicle! Reliable, powerful, comfort

The only thing. I would change is getting a full crew cab. The quad cab is too small for some people.

Best Truck I ever had, should?ve never traded it

Why did I trade it? Cause I thought I?d save some money, but in reality I wasn?t spending that much on it. It was the Laramie package and had literally every bell and whistle you could think of and was super reliable and everyone loved it. Bought it for 21k had it for a year and put about 20k miles on it and was valued at 20k so great Truck, I recommend the newer years most definitely, BEST TRUCK TO OWN.

Awesome Bang for your Buck

Great towing capacity, crazy amounts of room inside, great lines and love the grill. I've had this as my daily driver for over a year and love it.

Great truck except in constant need of repair.

This was my second Dodge truck. I absolutely hated to get rid of it but it was constantly need one repair or another. I accepting the gas guzzler portion knowing full well that that is what "hem" engines do. However the frequent repair rate was not appealing at all.

Great technology mechanically, but poor reliabilit

Good truck. Good value. Cost to maintain may be a little higher than most. It has some innovative technology, such as the rear suspension and the braking system. I have had troubles with the drive train specifically the lifters.

Trouble free.

This is a superior vehicle. Capable of 20 mpg with the Hemi, tows a 6500 lb boat well even in hilly terrain and has been trouble free. The Ram Boxes on the sides of the bed are fabulous. It had a recall to check the torque on the rear end pinion nut but it was OK. Got 64K miles on the original tires. I would get another one.

My favorite vehicle

Absolutely love this truck. I will probably own this truck till it dies. My kids fight over who gets it when they get their licenses.

GREAT LOOKING TRUCK IN AND OUT !

Truck exceeds my expectations.... Great design, looks awesome especially with flowmaster 40 series exhaust. It's what I been looking for. Not super big truck but, not small either. It's rite up there with the ford & chevy. Wish it had a better quality interior ( seats) other then that... great truck! And affordable.
