Definitely the budget version of the big three

It is a decent truck but the quality is not up to the standards of Ford or Chevy. Only five years old and already rusting out.

Can't really score reliability only owned 3 days

This truck was what I needed at a price I could live with. Very comfortable, decent ride, we will see about fuel consumption. Big V8 with plenty of power.

Don’t have the car

The looks of the car is nice but its not performing probably and they are suppose to fix it but keep trying to clear the codes and they keep popping up because something is wrong with it and they refuse to fix it.

8 speed V6 does not go into or stay in top gear

It does not stray or go into top gear long enough so I am not getting the good gas mileage I was expecting. Brakes need replacing, and parking brake sticking at only 30k. ( all my other vehicles good for 6 years at least before brake service and never any parking brake issues.

165K Runs Like New

Great Truck. Bought new. 165K. Well maintained. Early issues with the front end (full replacement) covered under warranty. Otherwise best truck I've ever owned. Lifetime warranty can't be beat. Tows my 30' camper well with minor modifications. Looks and drives like new. In and Out.

Outstanding truck

I've owned several RAM trucks in the past but this one beats them all. Great cockpit controls, handles like a sports car, and I love the onboard diagnostic.
