2017 RAM 1500 consumer reviews

So far, this truck has met all my expectations and more. The last Dodge truck I owned was a 1996 Dakota. I Drove it for 21 years and put 245K miles on it. It never got better than 18 mpg. This new RAM 1500 gets an average of 17.5 mpg, is bigger, and has more power. If this new truck goes as far as my old one did, it will more than likely out last me.

Rides and drives great . never thought a truck could ride so smoothly. Plenty of room inside very comfortable

So far I love the truck overall however part of the reasOn i wanted the vehicle was the wifi hotspot. Probably should have looked into the cost deeper but never imagined it would be $50/mo. What a joke. My cell phone plan alone is only $40/mo.

The Ram 1500 is a solid truck. Great exterior styling , aggressive look and V8 hemi engine sound make it a good daily work truck. I Like the Rambox option, but it is a bit tough to find one. Tradesman/ Express, Big Horn models provide tons of value without too many frills. If you like leather seats go for the Laramie or Longhorn models. Both have a nice interior but it gets pricey when you move up to these models.

I've been looking for a comfortable and well equiped car that is both comfortable and good looking. I test drove several cars to include a Cadillac CTS, BMW 535 and Genesis G80. They were all beautiful cars but after a few back surgeries getting in and out of a car was more difficult than the SUV I was driving. Since we already have a 7 passenger SUV I decided to pass on another large SUV and decided to look at trucks. Obviously all of the higher trim trucks from Chevy, Ford, GMC, Toyota and Nissan are very nice and very well equipped but I decided on a loaded Ram 1500. Not only is the interior comparable to a luxury car but the incentives on the 17 Rams made it a no brainer. My kids enjoy the spaciousness of the crew cab and I find the heated/ventilated seats very comfortable and the whole cabin to be spacious, well laid out very functional. The center console is extremely spacious and has multiple spots for charging phones, IPADS and a laptop.The U-Connect system works great, the Navigation is clean and easy to use and the Alpine 10 speaker stereo system sound great. Truck buying is very subjective but I'm happy with all aspects of the Ram from the exterior appearance to the form and function of the interior as well as how well it drives.

After testing other trucks and having owned other makes, this is the best, by far, truck I've owned. Comfort, power, gas mileage...This has it all.

I was bummed when I found out they stopped making the Ram 1500 Eco Diesel. I had to do an upgrade for my company. I looked at the used Eco Diesel because I heard so much good about them. I couldn't get a good deal on one because they are holding their resale and they were "rare" (just ask a dealer :) ). I finally found out they recently started making them again. I test drove the 2017, Big Horn edition...wow! Imagine driving your half ton pickup and getting 25 MPG! Impossible, right? They rate these for around 23 in town and more on the highway. Other owners report it higher (as high as 30 on the highway). The one I test drove had the upgraded radio/Nav/backup camera and a crew cab to boot. Nice ride! Feels like a luxury vehicle and really has only a hint of a noisy diesel sound, but not bad at all (all low end noise). Gas mileage, yep, ran consistently at 23. Plenty of power and a nice ride. I liked it so much...I bought it. With all the rebates and incentives, I paid about as much as the used ones and got great financing. I've been driving it around town like a boss for the past couple of weeks and getting right at that 23 MPG. Very roomy, well equipped, very impressive ride. I couldn't be more happy! I've run across a few others who drive this truck too, and they all feel the same. the only bummer...Dodge makes you pay $700 to download GPS...aww...c'mon man! You can buy a whole GPS system with lifetime maps from any retail store.

Wonderful truck, lots of legroom, very comfortable to drive and ride in. Lots of charging ports. Good visibility from drivers seat.

I love the style of the Ram. The Hemi has more than enough power. The interior has massive amounts of room. Not a big fan of the shift knob.

My Rebel still has less then 400 miles. But I've enjoyed every mile I've put on her. The blend of performance and economy are incredible. The air suspension is smooth yet extremely stout. I love how my Ram remains level even when towing my boat. I'd highly recommend one for you.
