Everything is great

We love it. We mainly bought it to pull our new camper (large). However my wife loves driving it do much , she drives it everyday. Looks great and rides like a car, not a Truck.

Classy, Confident, Charismatic

The RAM 2016 1500 is the perfect fit for someone that is looking for a bold yet classy look. Plus the mpg is not terrible for a truck, and the interior is comfortable and simple. I recently went on a roadtrip with three friends and we could fit everything in the truck and could sit comfortably.

4 wheel drive luxury!

Ram 1500 Laramie is a truck that comes with luxury. The leather is heated and cooled. It rides and drives like a luxury car. Hemi with 8spd lots of power and gets good mpg for a 390hp engine. The Alpine surround sound system sounds amazing. The console built in smartphone holder is a really nice touch. This is best crew cab truck I have ever owned!

The Truck Fails on Economy & the Environment

Fail!!! I bought the Dodge Ram ECO Diesel for the economy and reduce my environmental foot print. Sadly the engine oil of this truck gets contaminated at 3 to 5 times the rate of the Dealers recommended oil change cycle. Each oil change is $250.00. Not cheep and a waste of oil every two months or 3 to 5k KM. Also as safety note I have been advised never to idle the truck, ever! The engine will shut down after a while and leave you stranded. This will damage your engine. So don't get stuck on a snowy mountain road with your family. You won't be able to keep your truck warm by idling.

Newest and best Truck I have owned.

The Dodge truck is going to meet all of my needs for towing and hauling for next 10 years or more. I really like that I was able to find the color that I wanted and such a low mileage truck for a low price.

Nicest truck for the money

I love it. Was looking at Ford and Chevy also. But the interior in the ram is so much nicer and balanced. Only bad thing is there is a lot of wind noise at the doors when doing 65+

Great fuel economy for a large pickup.

Pulls my camper effortlessly while getting almost 12 miles to the gallon. Without the camper behind it it's gets almost 20 mpg as long as I don't get crazy. And, when I do get crazy, the 5.7 hemi combined with a 3:92 limited slip rear end will make this truck very quick, and fast.

Ecodiesel saves money at the pump

Great on diesel average 25 mpg with a 4wd and able to tow everything an average person can think of.

Ran away far and fast!

Stripped gears in steering unit. Driver visor won't stay up. Center console lid won't latch. Rear passenger window won't roll up. Paint peeling on lower body seam under driver door. Start/stop button stuck. Driver side lock button takes multiple presses to work. Ongoing alignment issues due to rear axle thrust angle off (meaning rear axle is mounted crooked) and no adjustment point to correct. Radio acts up when hot. Dealer where purchased refuses to fix. Ram refuses to buy back or fix.
