i loved this truck until it hit 100k miles

I have a 2012 ram 1500 5.7 hemi outdoorsman package. I loved this tuck. it handled well and has a comfortable interior. it had plenty of power. I like the looks of it and for the longest time the only issue I had was the passenger side headlight wiring was and still is giving me fits. I was a die hard mopar fan from a young age but this truck has turned me. my truck had 40k miles on it when I bought it and when it rolled over 100k I started getting a miss fire under a load so I changed the plugs and the coil pack on #3 cylinder and it did not fix the issue so I started researching about them. turn out after pulling the valve cover that the lifter roller had locked up on the #3 intake valve and has shaved the cam lobe down. ive heard about this issue in my area on 6 other truck with the 5.7 hemi and that's just in my area. ill never own another one. I drove a 95 ford escort and it had 350k on it when I sold it. completely disappointed and have my hands tied with this truck for atlest 2 more years

Great truck!

Purchased this truck with 6000 miles and have been extremely satisfied with every aspect. Selling to upgrade to a crew cab because of large grandkids!

This truck, I found on auto gurus in Columbus Ohio bought it. Brought it to Texas. Love it so much. Has plenty of power v8 with 4.7L engine is perfect in city traffic and give me an edge so I can maneuver through rush hour. Very happy and feel safe inside while driving in any weather.

Very reliable truck

This truck runs great and is comfortable for road trips. Plenty of leg room with coolers under the rear floor mats. 4 wheel drive is great when you need it

Dependable truck

I bought this 2012 Ram 1500 Big Horn four years ago, it was previously owned and well cared for. The only real issue I had was the right side exhaust manifold bolts broke. I was on vacation at the time and I took it to a local Dodge Ram dealer (I have the extended warranty) and they busted a gut to repair it and get me back on the road. The extended warranty covered the repairs, however I did have fork over the 100 dollar deductible. The truck has close to 98,000 miles on it, has given me good service and I have no complaints.

Kick xxx truck!

This is the best vehicle I have ever purchased. It rides comfortably, accelerates quickly, and its beautiful! 5.7L HEMI. I have yet to see one flaw in this vehicle.
