Awesome truck!

LOVE THE STAFF!!! Ms. Theresa was AWESOME!! We drove roughly 2.5 hours to do business with the dealership again! It says a lot about what type of staff they have!

2017 RAM 1500 REBEL

Love the truck. The only complaint I have is the fuel economy isn't as good as the window sticker said it would be. I average 11.5mpg when Im feeling a little aggressive and 12.5mpg when I drive like a grandma.

Wow what a truck

The Ram 1500 Crew cab is excellent. The ride, bells and whistles are truly remarkable. If you are in the arena for a new truck you really should test drive a Ram.

Base truck with a fair amount of amenities....

After spending 2 weeks and several dealers across the nation trying to locate an out the door price of 23K or less on a base F150 with 101a grouping.......no one wanted to budge, so I started looking at the Dodge Rams since I already have an 04 with less than 60K, but it's not work worthy with 4.56 gears and lowered. I found a few Dodge Rams with their equivalent convenience package 22b and they even took it further with spray in bedliners. I wound up getting what I was looking for that MSRP'd at a touch over 30K for 23K out the door taxes everything from DULLES in Leesburg, VA. There were 3 Ford dealers that finally came in with a sub 23K offer, but only on 2016 models and well over a week of attempts and contacts. I even tried Chevrolet, but they were even worse and don't even consider adding any convenience packages and staying under 25K period. After running across an ad that was placed for a quadcab and priced for government purchase, I knew I was not out of line with a single cab, no bling truck..........dealers are just getting lazy. With all this outsourcing of labor and materials in vehicles........trucks should be priced much lower than they are......problem is, everyone has gotten too greedy......DODGE< FORD & CHEVROLET could sell a whole lot more if they wouldn't try to get 40K for trucks and more.........they have forgotten that Americans have been stuck in idle with wages for quite some time and insurance has skyrocketed leaving less, while they have benefited from higher profit margins due to the outsourcing of parts and assembly on all 3 brand names.......Time to wake up and get trucks priced back to reality and enough with all the quadcab everything......I miss the trucks of the 80's when they were built for work and not for bling. (below, I couldn't even choose "work" for primary use of this vehicle........I had to choose commuting or offroad, having fun, family transportation, or towing....goes to show you how out of touch things have become).

retire

This is third Ram !500. This one has little smaller cab and truck not as tall. Has all the power you need at 395 hp. New 8 speed transmission is different but works good at old man speed and when you get down on it. so far, love this truck

My Review of the 2017 RAM Longhorn Limited 1500

4x4 Limited model, in pearl white, a lot of truck for the price I paid. Looking forward to putting some miles on it. Needs some upgrades and RAM needs to get with the program where GMC and Chevy have FULL LED lighting RAM still uses halogen light even in the projector lamps. Also they need to get their car audio upgraded to the latest tech. Other than that its a great value over my GMC, those things I don't think I am going to miss too much.

The best looking truck on the road!

Ram continues to beat out the competition when it comes to the interior and exterior styling of the 2017 RAM 1500. The fit and finish of this truck out classes the rest, and the value is matched by none. No rattles, no shakes, no squeaks or creaks. This is my favourite vehicle I've ever owned. As for reliability, the truck is too new for me to say whether or not this truck will last. but, compared to how my Ford felt, and my previous Dakota, this truck feels more rock solid than both of them.

RAM Delivers!

Love our new truck! Exceptional power and appointments, in my personal opinion. My wife got all the cup holders and storage she wanted, and I got the Hemi!
