Great truck. Very reliable.

Impressed with RAM. Prior drove Toyota Tundra. RAM is a great value for the money and very reliable, would definitely buy again in the future.

Comfort and ruggedness in the same package

The truck is comfortable to ride in and fun to drive. The interior is well thought out. The body style is pleasing to the eye IMO. Wish RAM had offered the quad cab with the longer bed in 2017, they do now.

Best truck for the money

This truck checked every box I had while vehicle shopping, under $30K, under 30K miles, and a V8. Plenty of leg room in the cab for every passenger, 8 cup holders in the cab. Rear seats flip up for extra storage and it came with 2 built in drink coolers with removable liners. The only thing this lonestar edition didnt come with was leather seats.

Most comfortable, stylish truck I have ever owned

I bought a 2017 Ram 1500 Longhorn Laramie. The interior is amazing. Comfortable, and all the bells and whistles. The look of saddle seats and saddle bag rear seat pockets, real wood dash inserts, and beautiful leather is wonderful. The dash is amazing. It did take me some time to get used to a dial gear “shifter” But that was minor. I had always owned Fords, But the ride in the Dodge, the quick responsiveness of the V8 Hemi The better performance while towing, is a huge difference. Never even looked at other brands. Saw the interior of the Laramie Longhorn, did some research on Edmunds, blue book, and Carfax, and thought I would test drive and compare to the Ford F 150 Platinum model. No comparison. The Dodge hands down felt better driving, handled batter, and was just more comfortable

Dodge..... Enough said :)

This truck truly meets all of my needs and plus. It has plenty of leg room, front and back. I love that it has more than one USB port. I?m glad that it has hands free calling. I wish our truck had the radio controls on the steering wheel.

So far I am loving it but I have only owned it for

As long as you don?t require all the extras ( blue tooth, CD player etc) it is a great truck. I have only owned it for 3 days

Truck's OK. Dealers , Not So Much

Fifth Ram I owned, trucks are extremely good, some small recalls, but dealer network is no so good for repairs and Ram does not seem to want to correct this.

RAM Consistently Stepping Up Their Game

This is my 3rd Ram, a 2017 Laramie. The truck performs at a level more than what I need. Power, towing, and comfort are the best in the game.
