The Ram looks and fells strong and with the 5.7 Hemi is all you need. Towing capacity is right there with all 1500 competitors. Also as a owner of a 24 ft boat I have all the power and torque I need.

Roomy and powerful. Nicest truck I have owned

I really like the look of the truck. The Ram box is something I find useful. It came with a plow that the truck handles with ease. The Heim engine is full of power. I can pass cars quickly. Everything is power on the inside. Very convenient features and easy to operate. Over fun vehicle to drive.

Nicest truck I?ve ever owned.

Plenty of cabin space for a truck. Loads of power. The only thing that separates this truck from a top top end vehicle is no leather but I didn?t want that anyways! Black and chrome exterior looks sleek stylish interior. Loaded with feature.

The best truck I have ever owned.

The comfort and ride are excellent. My Ram 1500 has given me 5 years of trouble-free driving 7 days a week.

Best preforming truck I've owned.

This truck has fairly decent mpg, especially considering the size of the vehicular and the engine size. Also, can still tow decent sized trailers with out struggling or making me worry about getting somewhere. I think the RAM trucks are the most reliable on the market.

Best truck I ever owned

Best riding and driving vehicle I ever owned. Got good gas mileage for a truck with a V8 motor and had plent of power. Only thing I would have changed is the rear suspension for towing my boat.

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.
