Love my Ram...and yes it?s got a hemi

Just bought a new 2018 Ram 1500 express crew cab 4x4. It is the delmonico red pearl color with grey/black interior and the hemi engine and 8 speed automatic transmission. Absolutely love it. Tons of room inside, even in the back seat. Very powerful engine with a great transmission that is averaging around 18 mpg for me. Overall quality of the truck seems to be excellent; no squeaks, rattles, or ill fitting parts. Drives like a Cadillac going down the road. Probably doesn?t have a plethora of options at this trim level, but for the money you get everything that counts in my opinion and then some. Plus, it looks and sounds darn sexy while doing it.

NOT Built Ram Tough

Built Ram Tough! That's a joke. Don't take that Dodge Ram Laramie anywhere off the main highway. 20,000 miles on my 2016 Ram Laramie. I followed the GPS system off the highway on to a road, this road had water cover. This water only became worse so I turned around. Now mind you the water wasn't that deep. But through diagnoses it was somehow determined that it was "my fault" that water went in to the air intake filter, and then the motor. This ceasing up the motor. Warranty refused to cover this. Insurance claim it was. Do you think Ram would at some point stand behind their product? Oh h... No. I asked at very least they cover the $250.00 deductible. That wasn't going to happen. Customer service actually hung up on me when I asked for a supervisor!! Worst product ever!! Worst "customer service" ever!! Chrysler will never get another penny of my hard earned money.. Lifelong customer gone!!

The best 1/2 ton diesel

I currently drive this truck and have been amazed since day one. I get the best fuel mileage with the 3.0 v6 eco diesel engine, but i also have the power of a 3/4 to pull horse and hay trailers up and down the interstate. Wondering why I didn't choose this option of truck sooner, but like my previous Ram 1500, your money goes a long way. Tons of bells and whistles using good quality parts that will last, not cheap plastic that breaks easily. MOPAR has always done me right, and this time they exceeded my expectations.

The Best of Both Worlds between Luxury and Utility

The 2018 RAM 1500 Limited Tungsten Edition 4X4 is in a class by itself. This has all the bells and whistles of a high end European Luxury Sedan and the towing capacity of a 2500 (due to 3.92 rear end option). The air ride suspension with auto leveling and Aero mode on the highway is awesome. Selectable 2WD, 4WD Automatic, 4WD locked & 4WD low make it incredible capable and versatile in ALL terrains and weather conditions. The Crystalline Black Pearlescent Paint with matching running boards and bumpers looks amazing, especially in the sun. The RAM Air hood and Bi-Zenon headlight with special edition LED tail lights also improve looks drastically over even other RAMs let alone any other 1500 class full size truck by any manufacturer. The interior; total wow factor. Power subroof is great to have. Suede headliner. Leather wrapped steering, grab rails, dash and console with baseball style stitching is impressive on its own but add to that the custom embriodery throughout on the doors and seats and it sets itself apart from the rest. The front seats ar eboth heated and cooled. The rear seats have heating as well. The Limited comes with its own unique dash cluster with aluminum bezels and sports gauges. Came with exit/entry level (which my 5ft wife loves) and remote start included. The steering wheel is heated and the pedals adjustable. Both front seats a fully electrically adjustment. The rear seats can be raised to exposed the RAM storage system and in floor storage. The 9 speaker Alpine sound system in concert with all the UCONNECT apps makes for a power entertainment package. I love this truck and the fact I can tow my 8800lb trailer with it and not notice its even back there.

Very Comfortable and High Quality Vehicle

I did not purchase a truck every bell and whistle that RAM has to offer. I just purchased the options that would fill my needs to stay within a price point. I expected that I might feel a feel a reduction in ride quality, noise, performance, or convenience as being part of my decision. I found that not to be the case in the least. Performance, Comfort and Quality are definitely built into my truck even though I may have passed on a little bling.

It is very reliable.

I was not ready to buy a new vehicle but had to get one since mine was totaled. I was wanting to get a truck this time around and I couldn't be happier.
