Pretty good so far.

The interior noise level(or lack of road and wind noise)is very good. A little hard to judge position when parking and while the 17 inch tires look okay it is a little difficult to get into the cab. A/C works great, even in 100+ temps. Handles well on the road and the sound system is good. One or two inside the cab vibration noises around the steering column(plastic to plastic).Gas mileage is as good as the Kia Sorento that I was driving. A pretty good vehicle so far.

2010 Dodge Ram 1500 SLT

I recently traded in my 2006 Nissan Titan and bought a 2010 Dodge Ram Hemi. I have always been cautious when it comes to Dodge, but this truck is a great buy! When it comes to the price, the Dodge is easily a good 3 or 4 grand cheaper than Ford or Chevy. The power and ride is great, feels like riding in a Cadillac. Previous year model Dodge's really lacked on the interior styling but not the new generation. The gas mileage with the Hemi is actually pretty good for a truck (14 city 20 highway, and it does get 20 on the highway). This truck is as good or better than any other full size pickup on the market.

The best truck on the market. Period.

I own a 2010 Ram 1500 Quad Cab Lone Star 4x4 w/ the 5.7L Hemi. I absolutely love the power and performance of the Hemi! And MDS allows me to get 20mpg on the highway! You can't beat that! The 4wd system works flawlessly, never had a problem getting through the mud an the way to the deer lease. The trucks' style is one of a kind. I get complements all the time. The standard sound system is great! Ram actually uses good speakers in their vehicles so most people will never have to od any upgrades to the sound system. And Sirius Satellite Radio is FREE for the first 12 Months! The interior design is great! Big, easy to use buttons and knobs, all within easy reach of the driver's hands. The controls are simple and straight-forward, so operating the truck is a breeze, even when driving in challenging conditions. The interior quality is great! The seats are very comfortable and the stain and odor resistance cloth material is wonderful for the times you actually work in the truck. Never had an issue getting mud, dirt, or spilled coffee off of them. A quick wipe and they're good as new. The materials fit well. The grains and textures all match, the color scheme is nice, and the fit and finish is excellent. The materials you touch regularlly are soft and pliable, and add a sense of luxury to the truck. Don't get me wrong though, this is still a truck. The bed is spacious and has numerous tie-downs. The tailgate is locking and removable, and unlike some trucks, is fully load bearing! So if you need to load something like an ATV, no need to remove the tailgate. The towing is ridiculously easy. The Hemi hardly notices light loads, and heavy ones only make it sound more aggressive as it pulls them along! The brakes are the largest in the class, which is especially nice when towing. The standard ABS and ESP keep everything under control. The integrated trailer brake is simple to use and works flawlessly. We've towed over the max tow rating on a few occassions moving equipment around our ranch, and the truck did just fine. The rear suspension, which some worry about, has been wonderful. The 5-link eliminates axle wrap and hop and lets you put the power down both on and off-road, and the articluation is great. The ride? Second to none! Even towing, the Ram's ride and control is amazing. The coils do a much better job of controlling the rebound of the suspension thanks to their variable spring rates, this is especially handy when towing. And since the 5-link keeps the axle from twisting when it's compressed, even the largest bumps and heaviest loads will not force the truck to veer left or right. Ram puts both 4- and 7-pin plugs at the back of the truck, above the bumper where they are protected, and in easy reach of the hitch. The Ram truck offers so many features and so many usefull advantages, that when you actually take the time to drive one, you'll fall in love and see just how much better it is. No other trucks looks as good. No other truck offers nearly 400hp AND 20mpg. And no other truck rides as nicely. Best yet, the Ram is THE BEST VALUE! A comparably equipped Chevy/GMC would cost about $2500 more than the Ram. A Ford? Try close to $4000 more! And Toyota is about $3000 more. There is no reason not to buy a Ram truck. If you or anyone you know is considering a truck, tell them to stop by a Ram dealer and drive a Ram truck - once they do, they'll see what I'm talking about.

Best Vehicle I have ever driven

I have a 2010 Dodge Ram Big Horn edition I love this vehicle, It performs very well out in the woods, and highway. The slick rear bumper is formed to the dual exhaust so it gives it a neat look. The hemi in this thing is ridiculous it has lots of power and I get 20-24 mpg on the highway with it. Awesome truck.

BEST LOOKING AND PERFORMING TRUCK.......

"I purchased my 2010 RAM Inferno Red TRX 4X2 (awesome color by the way) in late October 2010. I am VERY happy so far. The ride is awesome- smooth, Do to the new rearend, unlike any truck on the market ,The 4.7 is powerful with 310 horses. It Is plenty of power, much inproved from the last 4.7. The styling is the best on the market with the edgy yet refined parts that make an awesome whole. and I love the free Sirrus radio too. I love the bucket seats and would recommend that option to all that don't need the bench seat up front. I get complimented on the truck all the time. I am happy about mpg i get 16 in the city. I anticipate I will easily get 20-22 mpg on the highway once it is broke in (only 2,000 miles so far)." I would recommend this vehicle to a friend: Yes This vehicle was purchased: New ( If you want to spend money on fancy blinking mirrors and onstar or the other gadets then waste your money on a chevy or ford , But if you want a great truck for a great price and proofing relalibty then buy a dodge ram.

Great F---ing Truck

I love my Ram Lariat. I have driven it for over 18,000 miles. I have had no problems with it and really enjoy yh tfollowing Performance- Its a muscle car in the shape of a truck. Great low end torque. Nice throaty growl. Surprising nimble for a vehicle its size. Interior - I have the crew cab. Its a wonderfull family car with plenty of storage. The seats are comfortable and the leather is holding up. The interior is smartly syled and more luxury car than truck. Head turner - the first car I have ever owned where enthusiats stop me to tlak about it. Its a truck lovers truck. Reliability -The truck hase been through 15 states and driven cross country with a full load. A joy. I recommend this truck to anyone,

Very nice for the money,less than GM

I purchased this truck 30 days ago, my first new MOPAR product. For me to purchase a compatible GM truck, it was $3800 more. The 4.7 (auto) has good power for the 4x4 crew cab. The interior is very friendly,comfortable, easy to reach controls, and the ride is very supple and smooth. The step in the cab is higher than I expected, but gives the truck a commanding view of the road (I will buy boards for it). MPG city is over 16 in the first 3 tanks. So far, very nice, and more than I expected.

Does its job.

I haul 1200-1500 pounds of concrete everyday in the back of this truck and it has still yet to let me down. Rides very smooth with weight in the back though when empty is like any other truck out there. Off roading, it handles itself nicely, however you have to be careful when going about 30+ in dirt, you can start to get you back side swaying and bouncing easily, but thats due to the coil suspension. My truck has the 4.7l v8 which easily matches my bosses 2010 ford f-150's 5.4 v8. Only reason I gave it 4 stars in Performance is the transmission has a gap at 2-3 and 3-4 gear shifts but thats only with the 4.7l the 5.7l doesnt have that problem.

Most comfortable truck I've owned

Great truck for extended trips with plenty of room and storage as well as heated/cooled seats and heated steering wheel. Highway MPG around 19 MPG--not too bad for a pick-up. Very capable light-duty truck for towing and hauling.
