Great so far

I've only had the truck for a couple of weeks and so far I love it. It rides great and tows my enclosed like it isn't there. Plain white isn't too exciting, but the price was right.

Ram truck

Found the perfect truck for my husband and will be his primary farm truck. The truck was really clean with low miles.

2013 Ram 1500 Sport

We just bought a 2013 Ram 1500 Sport in white and I absolutely love it. It is the third Dodge truck I've owned and second hemi and I will say, these trucks run strong for a LONG time. I never had any issues w my 2004 hemi and I absolutely love the look and feel of my 2013 hemi. Has to power to tow a wide variety of things though I don't have anything to tow at the moment, very comfortable ride and Dodge/Ram really stepped it up w their interior I love the interior of my Ram Sport. Id highly recommend this truck to anyone out there. They hold their value relatively well as well! The only thing I don't care for is the ECO mode as it does nothing for the gas mileage really. My truck is on 35s (not lifted though) and gets an average of 12mpg. Hemis are definitely gas suckers.

Nice functional truck

For a low end model, the 2013 RAM 1500 Tradesman is great all around truck. Ride is comfortable and it is very powerful with the 5.7 HEMI. Too soon to report reliability, but believe it will be fine.

2013 Dodge Ram 4x4 1500 hit a home run

Love my dodge ram 1500. I have never had a problem with it other than the driver side window. 4 years later and it works sometimes and other times it does not. Too cheap to go get it fixed. Im pretty sure its a loose connection due to it sometimes working 75% of the time. But over all i am super happy about the performance, handling, and styling. Gas milage is average giving about 16 mpg, within the specs of the window sticker. Just wish it was a bit better. I have the Hemi 5.7 with the the MDS, 4x4, Quad cab, 6' 5" bed. Plenty of get up and go and the engine and exhaust sound awesome for all stock factory parts!! Never modified anything aside from a spray on bed liner.

First Dealership Purchase Ever

I bought my "new-to-me" 2013 RAM 1500 Quad-Cab - 4X4 - V-8 HEMI truck on Christmas Eve 2015. Had been working out of an '87 Ford Ranger for over 6 years, was well overdue for an upgrade. I am sure glad I did! I gave up some gas mileage going with the V-8 HEMI over the Rangers 4 cyl., but the additional space, power, ride, look, performance, work-ability, just can't be beat. I love my new truck, great choice, other than gas mileage. 5 stars from me.

Don't buy American

I am 62 and have had my fill of American vehicles. I quit. In a weak moment Ipurchased a 2013 Ram 1500 with hemi. Right out of warrany period.....$600.00 computer chip needs to be replaced. To add insult to injury.....the part is not available locally.....so they had to order it from Dallas, TX. That takes over week and a half to get here despite that fact that their are probably 10 dealershops in a 15 mile radius. So here I sit......not making money. I could RENT a car from them......that is out of warranty also. NEVER AGAIN. Viva la TUNDRA!!!! Thats what I should have bought originally!!

RAM 1500 2013 Longhorn

I purchased this used 6 months ago, fully loaded and 55K miles on it. About 8K miles later, no issues, runs like a dream, acceleration is better than any car I've had (since I was younger, anyway). The interior is the nicest I've seen in any car (and it beats, in my opinion, BMW/Lexus 'luxury' interiors). Sound system (my truck as an Alpine system) is unbeatable. I'm 50, have owned many cars, this is the finest automobile I've yet to have in my driveway.

Best decision I've ever made.

My Ram 1500 is the best vehicle I've ever owned. I couldn't believe someone still made an awesome muscle truck. I thought about a mustang or camaro but who needs an uncomfortable muscle car that's bad in the corners anyway? This R/T truck stays as planted in a corner as any muscle car I've ever driven. Its way easier to throw the backend around on quick a u-turn too. Lightning fast for a truck too my 0-60 times are right around 5.1! The 8 speed transmission is the smoothest transmission I've ever had in a car or truck. HUGE IMPROVEMENT OVER THE 6 SPEED. I'm averaging 19mpg lifetime. Perforated leather heated seats? Alpine Audio? 8.5" screen? And you MUST get the remote start to let that v8 warmup while you toast your pop tart in the morning. The truck knows whether to run the A/C or turn on heated seats/steering wheel :-)

Awesome Truck with lots of power

The Ram 1500 Tradesman is plenty for what I need and mostly basic, but still stands out. With the Hemi it has enough power for anybody! Great little regular cab short box!
