RAM is king.

All I have to say is that after you have had a RAM you will not like any other truck. I have the quad cab and it is the best cab only topped by the megacab for obvious reasons.

Best vehicle ever

After having vehicles like BMW, Audi, Acura, etc. I must say that this is my favorite vehicle so far. I have 45k miles on this longhorn and it still drives and feels like a new truck. Highly recommend it

Behind In Tech

In general Chrysler-Fiat needs to work on their Tech and make it not ?out of date?. Other than that the truck is nice and reliable.

Terrific Fuel Mileage

A great looking truck and with the 3.0 Liter diesel, the truck gets great mileage. Very comfortable with lots of storage. I really like the Ram Box.

Very happy with Ram 1500

I spent close to two years shopping for trucks and finally pulled the trigger on a 2017 Ram 1500. I couldn't be happier, I drove a number of competitor truck brands but none drove as nice as the ram or matched the power of the hemi!

Turbo issues in less than 4K miles

Would not buy it again, buy the Cumins not the Italian lawn-mower engine. It?s got all the things of a FIAT, good paint, nice finishes on the inside, and horrible reliability. I made a big mistake.....

Better than previous years

The 8 speed transmission makes the truck better to cruise at higher speeds without wanting to be in between gears. The MDS has improved over the years but is still slightly buggy. I love the new center console design and appreciate how the stock stereo can have a subwoofer installed without needing to change it. Always been a fan of the new interiors since 2010. What I don't like is how much power is wasted in their ECM design. And you can't unlock it without wrecking your warranty. It is capable of so much more with only 1500 bucks worth of work. And it is even better on fuel after the fact. Without MDS. Other than that, it's a Ram truck. Love it or hate it. I love it

Great truck

Wow what a great truck. Drove it off the lot from garden city Kansas to brownwood Texas. One of the most comfortable 8 hr drive I have ever had. The gas mileage was great, the comfort was unbelievable, and the power you could feel. Love the look and feel of the truck. Everyone was always asking me about it, and if they could look inside. I will be buying another Laramie edition after this one for sure. Great job Legacy Dodge.
