Stunned!

The crew cab has more than enough space for 5 6'5 grown men. The 8 speed transmission makes ride so much smoother than the 6 speed.

Motor and Transmission are junk

It has no get up and go power and the transmission is slipping at 13,000 miles. I brought it in to the dealership because my mom says it is jerking every once in a while. They did an update to the transmission which I thought was ridiculous. I haven't notice the jerking but my mom has, who knows, but I have notice the poor performance in the motor and transmission and have no doubt in my mind that one of them will need to be replaced in the next year or so. Will dodge cover that? Probably not. Also there is no leg room on the passenger side. I don't know if it's the transmission sticking up or what but it's annoying that you have to have your feet together because there is no room to spread them.

Stylish with Great Performance

My first truck with a powerful engine (V8 Hemi) and all the interior features I could ever need. Wife says the truck is fun and easy to drive despite its size. The air suspension system can raise and lower the truck with the push of a button to help my whole family to get in and out of the truck for a fun weekend to go anywhere. The Uconnect touch screen is awesome and rivals the other systems I've seen in friends' vehicles. Only downside is the all terrain drive can be touch in city traffic; however the horsepower and torque make up for that on the open road. I'm definitely happy with my choice to get a RAM.

Comfortable, stylish, powerful and reliable

This truck is powerful, quiet, solid and a joy to drive. The 8.4 infotainment system is exceptional as is the automatic temperature control. The Texas heat was no match for the A/C system.

Love It

Great deal on a low mileage truck. Didn't have every feature I wanted but couldn't pass it up for the price.
