Excellent in performance but lacks reliability.

This truck has more than enough space and more than enough power with the 5.7 Hemi but is not the most reliable. Obviously not the best on gas but it's a work horse. Overall not a bad truck but make sure you save a little because this truck does tend to break down every so often. Just my experience.

Favorite Vehicle I have ever owned

The Quad Cab has been more than enough space. The smaller bed has only been a challenge a few times. No mechanical issues, no electrical issues, etc since we purchased Nov 2011

Awesome Truck

He truck is absolutely perfect for me. Plenty of room, plenty of power, and a very smooth ride. These trucks have come a long ways since their early days, and the refinement really shines on this model year. I also own a 2012 Toyota 4Runner that is loaded , but I always find myself behind the wheel of The RAM...I plan on doing just a couple styling upgrades, but they look way better than Chevy or Ford from the factory imo. Definitely would recommend this Truck to anyone in the market for one!

GOOD LOOKS AND POWER FOR THE MONEY

This crew cab tradesman has plenty of room front and back. More than enough horsepower to do anything you need.

Good truck for the money

I bought this truck about a year ago used. it has been reliable. Great power out of the 5.7L Hemi. It has never left me wanting more. it gets decent mpg for a larger v8. sound great. Great sounding sterio system for stock. Very comfortable interior but not very flashy.
