Best Truck I'll ever own

My Longhorn eco-diesel, has the best mileage one could ever get from a full size truck. Its got a heavy but smooth ride very comfortable for long drives and all the luxary appointments I was used to from my old Eddie Bauer Expedition. However the gas mileage is a big plus.

For over 60k I expected a little more

Overall the truck looks and drives nice. On a closer look I feel they could have done a better job with meeting the Box, doors, hood all the lines together don't seem to fit perfect. My problem is I've had the truck into the dealership at least once every two months seems to be electrical every time. The motor has good power up to about 50 miles per hour after that it could definitely use more. When it comes to Towing I'm getting the same gas mileage as any V8 would doesn't seem to have much of a fuel mileage difference. After owning it for 18 months I'm getting about 23 to 24 Highway I don't do a lot of City driving so I don't know. Now my biggest problem is my air ride suspension is stuck down my dashboard lights are flickering my low voltage came on and set my truck into limp mode. I guess this means another trip to the dealership. This is my third Dodge I've owned and honestly every one of them has had some sort of problem. I've had the 2002 which had tranny problems the 2012 which had electrical problems that they cannot identify and again with a 2016 seems to have some electrical issues. I'm thinking of giving GMC a try.

Most reliable truck for a little while

Great value overall in the truck. It just feels really scary as soon as the warranty comes off and the quality of the truck greatly depreciates

Big and Comfortable

I love the truck for its space and technological advances. It's hard to believe these trucks ride like a luxury car. I'm very satisfied.

Awesome truck for the money

I love my truck it just snowed heavily I love the four wheel drive system I never have to worry. The engine itself the 5.7 liter gives me all the power I could need or want all the features and accessories inside the car the Bluetooth touch screen back up can sound system puts the truck over the top for me compared to all other vehicles on the market and for the price I bought it for saved me thousands love this truck and rairdon dealership in Kirkland

Sexy Road BOSS

I was never one for trucks...until I sat in a Ram 1500. Chrysler has AMAZING deals, and it was a steal walking away with this truck. Yes they are heavy on gas, Yes they are a little more expensive to maintain, but you will never feel less than on the road behind the wheel of this truck. It has that mean look, with so much comfort offered on the inside. I wouldn't give up our truck for anything.

Terrible customer service

I bought a 2016 tradesman in December of 2015. Once I opened the sliding rear window once water leaks in every time I wash/rain hits it. Took it to two dealerships multiple times but each time they made an excuse and didn't fix/replace the seal. I called ram customer care and ended up talking to/emailing some of the most inept people I have ever met who's final response was too bad that your truck is under warranty and now smells musty from all the water leaking in but we're not doing anything. If they are like that with what started as a small issue I'd hate to see what would happen if something major went wrong. This is the third dodge truck I've owned and will be the last for sure.
