A new 2019 Ram Classic Tradesman

The most important thing I need for my locksmith business, is a truck that's dependable, in Alaska, getting to the customer's location in a reliable truck during harsh weather conditions is really important. My goal was finding a reliable truck, one that is a single cab, a 8' box and that was a challenge since most new trucks are fully loaded, extended cabs, short boxes. I was between a rock and a hard spot until I found a new Ram truck just exactly like I wanted. This throwback "Classic" truck, a single cab, 8' box, manual crank windows, rubber floor mat, real brass key in the dash, Hemi 5.7L engine, 8 speed transmission, cruise control, a bonus is the modern radio, hands free phone, steering controls, locking rear end, 4X4, Overall it's a great truck, the discount was unbelievable so I bought the Dodge Ram Classic. The engine on this truck is a 5.7, but its not a gas guzzler.

it feels good to drive a comfortable truck.

the Ram 2109 warlock has a man toy look with a nice size truck that drives smaller than it is. the Warlock black on grey gives it a nice sporty look leaving out the immaturity.

Disappointed

Had to rent a 2019 1500 Classic Big Horn package for 5 weeks while my 2016 Ford F-150 was having hail damage repaired. Disappointing because I had heard many good things about the RAM trucks. Maybe that was all based on the more high end models. This model I found to be very uncomfortable on any lengthy drive times. A couple of hours in the seat left me sore. Not that way with my Ford. This truck seems to have plenty of power, and the fuel mileage agrees. It’s poor. Barely 14 mpg in mixed driving conditions. It is a quiet ride. Truck starts vibrating at 77 mph and gets worse if you continue to gain speed. I’ll probably test drive the new design when it’s time to trade, but I don’t recommend the Classic

Great Truck for towing RV.

It will take you with the RV up the mountains without losing power. I am very please with the style and the performance. It is rooming in the front of the cab and can be rooming in the back which is all depend where the front seat are line up. It is ok with us because the only passenger is our golden retriever.

Its a great value and smooth and comfortable. The quality of workmanship to me is superior to other trucks in its class. Ram has me for a customer for life.

Our second Ram 1500 after all chevy's

We currently have our 2007 Ram for sale after purchasing this new 2019 Ram 1500. It has just the right amount of upgrades for us but the best is the increased gas mileage and the incredibly smooth quiet ride. We cannot comment on reliability since we've only had this for a couple of hundred miles but can attest to the mileage compared to our 2007. The 2007 came with a lifetime powertrain warranty and in 155000 miles not a single powertrain issue but did have some typical things go bad. I did have to replace a water pump and just recently the TIPM (totally integrated power module) failed which completely disabled the vehicle. That was a real disappointment and I have read that many other's have had similar problems in past year models. I am hoping they fixed the issue with this model.

Just purchased a week ago

I bought the base 2019 tradesman classic, with the tow package. It is exact what I wanted as far as a minimalist truck; moreover, its a single cab 4x4 with Bluetooth. Oh!, and a 8 foot box that will haul stuff with the tail gate up.
