Scott, builder

I ve only owned my Rebel for about a month but it s every bit as good as my '14 Laramie was that I traded in. Nice ride, interior is exceptional and I really like the sporty appearance. I did sacrifice a couple MPG for this style but it was worth it.

Ram 1500 Bighorn: a great truck

I really like my new truck! Lots of things I thought would be add-ons came standard. I have big plans for what I can do with my new truck.

Beautiful Truck

Cannot Say enough on how happy I am with the 1500... BEAUTIFUL TRUCK! I would recommend this vehicle to all my friends, family, and neighbors. Fun to drive, with the 537 Hemi it has plenty to give. All the features on it is like being in a car... Smooth quite ride, along with an aggressive look! If you can't Dodge it, RAM IT!

The best value for a truck I have ever owned.

My third truck (1954 International and a 1985 Dodge RAM were the previous two) I enjoy the 5.37 Hemi power, the outstanding power train (over 21 MPH) and creature comforts that rival the wife's 2012 CTS Cadillac. This vehicle supersedes every expectation, although price took a little time to accept, I looked at trucks for two years, before I settled on the best value.

Ram Laramie has all the bells and whistles

Love this truck. Its rides better than my car. A bit pricey but I guess you get what you pay for. Comfort is amazing. High Tech for me but I love it

Tradesman base work truck

I needed something dependable as my Ford is getting up there in miles at 196,000 and repairs are becoming a monthly issue lately. I began researching another base F150, but could not find any dealers willing to bend to an out the door price of 23K taxes and everything included....close with roll up windows, but no cigar. I chose the RAM after having put in about 2 weeks of pricing research and compared to the F150, comes with many more convenience options....tow package, heated mirrors, electric windows, rear sliding glass and a locking differential. This is a base Tradesman with a couple of convenience options like the 22b and a couple of others....standard comes spray in liner.......awesome for someone that uses this actually as a truck and not just a go to vehicle. I chose a truck because I feel they are much safer transporting my 10 year old around in than a car which I consider all of them to be unsafe for two simple facts.... that your vision is inhibited by their lower to the ground heights compared to trucks and average height of impact. I have yet to put more than 400 miles as I write this and I drive conservatively so I am confident this truck will last well beyond the sheetmetal in this harsher salted road environment. I own another RAM, but it has a HEMI and is apple to oranges to this as I have done performance work to it...it had never let me down whatsoever so I know this one I can likely count on to follow in it's footsteps as a lighter duty application type vehicle I will be using it for which will be going to the jobsite with tool and occasionally transporting items as well as keeping my daughter safe which is a no brainer choice to me! Thanks Dodge for coming in at a price that is far better than Ford or Chevrolet.......I have owned all them so far........this is my second Dodge and hope to see another before I call it quits!

Love the Ram!! Gets me thru any kind of snowfall

I'm a dog musher , little on the short side, height of Ram is far better than the F150. Much more comfortable and live the Hemi power

RAM REBEL

This is the second RAM 1500 that I have owned at is the best. Style,performance and comfort are all the best on the my new truck. From the HEMI engine to the interior that is the best in the industry, this is a truck line that is number one. I have repaired all the major truck lines and the RAM is the one that I see less in the repair shop and most on the highways.

Best Truck I have owned

I absolutely love my new truck. Plenty of room for the family! It's not bad on gas and it is going to come in very handy this summer pulling our camper. So glad we bought this truck.
