Used 2019 RAM 1500 for Sale in Athens, AL

Like most consumers in the market for a vehicle, I’m always apprehensive when purchasing a new car. My experiences with car salesmen in the past has been fraught with charlatons, hard sellers, & dishonest opportunists. In the market for a new A8 & spoke with Austin, what a great experience. He was very knowledgeable, helped me find the right car for my needs, and was very respectful throughout the entire process. I used to think that car salesmen were all of the same cloth, but after spending just a half hour at this dealership, I see my opinions are just stereotypes based off bad experiences. Great employee. I plan on getting my new vehicle from Austin very soon.

I have owned 5 GMC Sierra Denali's and really loved those trucks but the 2019 Ram Limited is on a whole other level. The 5.7 is slightly slower than the 6.2 but in every other category the Ram is superior. I am very pleased with this truck.

I searched specifically for a Ram 1500 with heated mirrors. What I received was a package 2nd to none, with a monthly payment that fit the package offered me. From the initial contact with Champion Auto group in Athens, Tn, to the final good bye, I was most impressed with the "personal commitment" from my Sales Agent, Michael Wooldridge. I was not pressured on the initial contact with Champion Auto group, but a guarantee to me to locate that particular Truck. While enroute to Champion in Athens, Al, it was comforting to receive a phone call from Michael, updating me to the progress of the selection I had made, and to see that I was ok, and directions to the dealership if I needed them. Upon arrival at Champion Auto group in Athens, Al, I was greeted by The Champion Team who knew my name, the hospitality was awesome, offering a warm cup of coffee, and the area to go to freshen up from the Tennessee drive. Michael took a personal interest, giving me confidence that this purchase was an investment that I would really treasure. The smoothness of the paperwork process was like none like I have experienced. Personal commitment from every phase of the paperwork process. As the deal was closed, my paperwork handed to me, the final hand shake, I was impressed on my visit to Champion Auto Group in Athens, Al, I knew when I shook Michael Wooldridge's hand for the final time, he was sincere when He told me, "Cary, feel free to contact me for any concerns you may have on our deal today". Talk about memories made for a lifetime, and a return in the future.

This truck is the nicest vehicle I have ever driven. It’s beautiful to look at from the outside in. It’s extremely comfortable to drive, but also feels like a truck.

4WD Hemi 1500. Just returned from trip from north Ala to Lancaster, PA and back. Interstate, highway and local sightseeing. I average 22.4 miles per gallon. I routinely average between 20 and 21 mpg. Truck has a 3.23 rear axle. Performance/ nimbleness is outstanding. Love this truck. Bought last August.

This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

The 2019 Ram 1500 crew cab Rebel with air suspension, 12" nav display, and the 5.7 Hemi is pretty nice. Pros: comfort, usb-c that quick charges front and back, easy to use nav system, comfortable ride (with caveats), nice convenience features like rain sensing wipers, etc. Awesome sunroof, great styling inside and out. Oh yeah, easy tailgate. Soft down and easy up. Electronic latch. I know that's low on the list but I sure is nice. Cons: ride is not good in aero suspension setting. Have to turn off that feature. Fuel economy is terrible. Typical 11-13 mpg. If someone says it is higher they are either not using it in traffic or they are lying. The back up emergency braking is jarring and over sensitive to the point of being terrible and unusable. I think the rebel is awesome, and the air suspension is a must. But get nerf bars because waiting for it to raise and lower every time you get out or in is not reasonable. It's not so much a con, but bears mentioning. Reliability is anyone's guess, obviously. It is a strong truck. Transmission shifts very smoothly. In the rebel you lose the 4-wheel auto setting, which is a really nice thing to have. My old ram had it and I got into the habit of using it in the rain when I wasn't hauling anything. I do not like the super luxury trucks typically, but the Rebel trim is a great compromise. You get the rubber floor mats standard, reasonable off road capability (face it that's needed even if you don't go mudding), and while it is indeed a"pretty" truck, it can get down to business without you worrying you are going to scratch your Sunday go to meetin' vehicle. I opted for a drop in bedliner which I personally feel does a better job of protecting against dents. In the end, you don't need my or anyone else's review to decide on a new ram. They are excellent vehicles. Far better fit and finish than any Ford, far better materials and comfort than any Chevy. Not that I'm a religious purist about it, but then again, I bought mine because my last truck was a ram. My next one might or might not be. For now, they are a clear winner.

I went to Landers McLarty DCJ to get my 2015 Grand Jeep Cherokee serviced. It was an early morning, so (while I waited) I took a low-threat walk around the lot....I'm not a fan of vulture-like salesmanship. I had been considering trading in my truck for a second Grand Cherokee, and had found one online that was supposedly on the lot. I couldn't physically locate it though, so I poked my head into the salesroom floor to ask about it. Even though it was 45 minutes before they opened, Joe Ashbury readily introduced me to Josh Craig. I gave Josh the VIN of the vehicle I was curious about, and he located it and postured himself to transport me to the location. I declined, and simply gave him the trade-in amount and terms I was looking for. I provided a contact number. I was pessimistic. I anticipated a call later on to the tune of "Boy do I have a deal for you" only to overshoot my terms by a ridiculous amount. Much to my surprise, I received a call from him that same day with terms that were better than I had requested. He and Joe had worked closely with the local banks and saved me thousands. I came in the next morning and we sealed the deal in less than an hour. Mr. Pickett in the Business/Finance office was a true professional, and gave me a great deal on GAP insurance that I would have thought was unaffordable. At Landers McLarty, synergy exists, and the employees work as one unit...it isn't a "this is the salesman's job" and "this is the finance personnel's job"...they communicate with each other along the way. It saved me from explaining my wants time and time again. I wish I would have purchased my 2015 Grand Cherokee from them....the experience I had when I procured it from one of the other "leading" Jeep dealerships in Norther Alabama was a far cry from how I was treated at LMDCJ. My only "complaint" is that I wished they could have coughed up the $286 to throw in one of those cargo security covers for the (I asked the guy back in parts how much one would cost....I didn't get his name, but he was really helpful too). It would be the difference between me giving the transaction a "10" versus a "9". That may be worth it to them though. Again...and excellent experience.

The Ram Bighorn is a very nice looking vehicle, with the performance require. The interior is comfortable and all euipment easy to use. Thr Ram has the ride of a Cadilac.

The all new 2019 Ram 1500 is beautifully designed and engineered as long as you are wanting to spend $58,000 on a piece of yard art. I hope that you enjoy spend a lot of time at your local dealership where you purchased it because it will either be sitting in your yard or at the dealership. I purchased mine on 1/18/19 which was the day the problems began. I noticed a damaged trim piece and I called it to the salespersons attention who in turn got the body shop manager involved. They said they would take care of the issue. When we went to sign the papers no we owe for the trim piece. Oh yeah, I forgot about that, after reminding them the paperwork was filled out. Well, it only took 3 times of ordering the part and trips to the dealer to get the proper piece put on. No big deal, its installed. The real problems started six days after I purchased the truck. Here comes the first recall in the mail. This one has to do with an intermittent steering failure due to a faulty ground connection. No parts in stock. Have to order it. Parts comes in, I have to take it back to have the work performed. Then almost 30 days later here comes the second recall notice in the mail. This one was for the brake pedal that could possibly fall off if you use the adjustable pedals. Again, no parts in stock. Have to order and be put on a waiting list. After several calls to FCA, and being hung up on one of those times, I was told that the repair parts were being issued to dealers in limited quantities. Can’t slow down production to take care of current customer issues, now can we? FCA advised me in the meantime, just don’t use the adjustable pedals. Of course, I already had, and the vehicle will be safe to drive. I don’t know about you but I’m not willing to risk driving a vehicle that the brake pedal could possibly fall off of because a customer service rep from FCA tells me it’s safe. I still haven’t been able to figure out how intermittent steering loss and the possibly of your brake pedal falling off is safe but I digress. FCA did give me four free oil changes for my trouble. SCORE!!! Then the front brakes would squeal terribly during stopping. Apparently, this is a known issue as there is a service bulletin on the condition. The solution, replace both front brake calipers and pads. That’s right, all new front brakes. Mind you there are only 2300 miles on the truck. Most of which was going to and from the dealer. The other issue is the speed adjustable volume can barely be heard at all. Why is the volume adjustment inadequate you ask? The reason the service advisor gave me was because the active noise control module is interfering with the speed adjustable volume. FCA has designed two systems that interfere with each other and installed them on a vehicle. The current solution to this? Use the steering wheel controls to adjust the volume. Service said they tested other 2019 Ram’s on the lot and they all display the same condition so it’s not really a problem. By that logic if every engine explodes at 5000 miles then it’s not really a problem because hey, they all do it. I spent an extra $4,595.00 for the level 2 equipment group and another $1,095.00 for the 12-inch display and this is the answer I get. Completely unacceptable. I have been buying Dodge Ram’s since 2001, which is still on the road, and this by far is the worst Ram I have ever purchased. Three months in with these many issues I don’t want to think of what is next. If you are in need of a new truck now, stay as far away from the Ram as possible. I should have gone with my gut feeling and spent the extra money and bought the Ford. Save yourself a lot of time and trouble and buy something else. Time to see if I can get FCA to hang up on me again.

It was my first time to go to a dealership and test drive a vehicle. (I had purchased exclusively from individuals, so I was a little apprehensive, expecting "high pressure used car dealer" cliche tactics.) I made an appointment with Julie Gallow to test drive 2 pre-owned Chrysler T&C vans. Julie was engaging, friendly, professional and made the experience far less intimidating than I would have imagined it could be. She was well prepared, had all the information I needed for both vehicles. As a result, I bought the vehicle for which I'd been searching: a 2015 Chrysler T&C Platinum van! Don Alexandria explained the warranty possibilities and I wound up purchasing one for my pre-owned van. Gave me peace of mind and, essentially, a new car (at far less than new price!) Enjoyed visiting with Don and left feeling I'd met a friend The van is amazing and the follow up from Julie since my purchase has been amazing, too. Well worth the drive from Mentone to Huntsville!

I have been driving Ford F150 Pick ups for the past 12 years, and this 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie, blows them all away, when looking at new pick ups the Ford has not changed, except to get worse, the interior is now very plasticity and the truck seems old and antiquated. The Ram is all new, rides so much better, looks better, my V-8 has more power than my old Fords turbo V-6 and I am getting 22 mpg, the options are unbelievable with a reclining rear seat and a huge 12" touchscreen that operates everything. The Ram has the Ford beat on payment in a big way, I Saved $40 a month for all New compared to Old and outdated

The new Hemi 5.7 L vat engine is a work of art. Power performance and oh so quiet. The air suspension gives it the smoothest of rides.

My son and I researched the product in advance (RAM 3500 Tradesman w/ Dual Rear Tires). Met with Will and he confirmed the product details and was well aware of the transmission options and towing needs we were considering. Later went for the test drive and purchase. Will Payne is very courteous, knowledgeable, and customer-service oriented. He went back to management 2 times to get our deal together. On a side note, I was still recovering from some surgery a few days prior and did not feel well. I got a coke and asked Will if they had a cup and some ice - they did not have the ice. Later, while we were waiting for finance and closing paperwork, Will walked up with a cup and ice from a neighboring convenience store and I REALLY needed it by then. That's above and beyond! Also, there was nowhere on the closing paperwork that detailed the towing capability and weight maximums for the 4.1 transmission. I wanted that in case I am ever stopped and my max weight is questioned. Will found that info and printed it out for me. All in all, a great experience.

This car has everything that I and my family need. Comfort, security, a beautiful exterior, and interior design. That truck is a bull. My boys love it.

Absolutely love my new truck. A head turner every time I drive it. It’s pure luxury and power with the amazing Hemi. Tap the gas and you’re gone!!

Coming from a 2017 GMC Sierra this truck is hands down a better ride and more powerful. The crew cab is huge compared to others. It rides and performs better then my previous truck and rode better then other new ones I test drove.

I am a businessman by trade, so to say I am highly tuned to the buying and selling process would be accurate. In my search for a new 2019 Ram 1500 I scoured the nation for the best combination of price, dealer, and service. I searched over 25 dealerships through phone, email, and personal visits. I searched as far away as 4500 miles from my home. I received prices from all these dealers but Jim & Ben were able to get me the best price possible. The truck I wanted had to be ordered. Jim, kept me informed throughout the process. I may have called, text, and emailed him more than the norm, but he handled it very well. When I came to pickup the truck Jim gave me a detailed description of every feature. The financing department did their job very well. I am very pleased to have worked with Jim and Ben. I would advise anyone to give these guys a try for their next vehicle.

Absolutely splendid truck. I love it. Ram really hit the mark with the 2019 rebel. My wife is actually wanting one now. Although in another color.

Had the time of my life... Elijah and Kevin , Thank You...and may you be blessed with much success with your future at Landers.... I recommend that they receive a $500... Bonus check for great customer service😘..... See you next year!!!!

I have owned Ram Trucks since 1997. The new 2019 is a huge advancement compared to the previous models. Has a quiet ride and all the power you ever need.

My Chevy with apex 350 HP V8 4x2 was nearly always in the range of 21 MPG, where my 2018 Ram is running about 19 MPG, but is 5.7, and has 4x4, making it a bit heavier, plus about 50 more HP. The Silverado was quick, but the Ram hauls! Learning to keep my foot out of fast... We make an annual trip of about 1000 miles back and forth to COfrom Tucson AZ, will be interesting to see how it does for MPG on highway. Looked closely at the 19s, but purchased a slightly used 18, saving us about 10,000. Am questioning the wisdom of not getting the19, with latest technology?? Bottom line, darned hard to beat an exceptional truck! My toughest adjustment is the hockey puck transmission selector. I nearly purchased a Ram when I purchased the Silverado, but didn’t like the puck, I was correct, still hate it, lowest part of the truck! I’d pay more to have a traditional gear selector!!

Ariana helped us so much in our new car buying decision. Hyundai of Decatur is an amazing place to buy a vehicle . Definitely a five star from me and my husband. Go see Ariana!!

I brought my truck to the dealership to have the airbags replaced (recall notice) and to get an extra key (truck was bought used and only had one remote key). The dealership was good on the airbag replacement (scheduling after parts available and doing the job quickly). However, when I picked the truck up, the Vehicle Security System (VSS) light was on continuously. I asked the Service guy about it and he went and checked with the Tech who said it would go off eventually. I was anxious to leave so I accepted the answer. Well, it did not go off over time. I scheduled an appointment the following week to have them fix it. There was a bit of confusion at first when I showed up but after talking to Chris about the issue, he went and expedited the repair. Turns out the computer got hung up and they had to disconnect the battery and reset the computer. I recognize that life is not perfect and that what works 99% of the time does not work 1% of the time. I think my truck fit into the 1% category with it's symptoms. The dealership did a good job of responding to the glitch and fixing my truck. I am pleased with the service and with Chris as my Service Advisor. I would have given them 4.5 stars because there was a mistake initially but given their recovery action and the choice of 4 or 5 stars, I think 5 stars is appropriate.

The truck has better acceleration than I was expecting. Great fuel mileage, will be testing out the towing soon. Very comfortable and roomy interior design

Leased an Alfa Romeo Giulia from the good folks at Alfa Romeo of Huntsville (Landers McLarty) a few months back. Working with Deonte Sutton via email on a good price was very easy and painless. True to his word, the car was ready for me on the day we agreed upon and the sales transaction was uneventful (which is a GOOD thing). Brian Moultry handled the sale in-store and he was also very easy to work with, as well as pretty knowledgeable about the car I was buying. Lastly, Don Alexandria in Finance provided the quickest and non-aggressive "backroom" dealing I've ever had at a dealership. He was very precise, succinct and most importantly, wasn't too pushy at selling the usual dealership upgrades. There was a mixup with the bank on the paperwork, so I had to come back in to sign a new lease. However, this wasn't their fault in any way, and once again the transaction went flawlessly. No funny business and none of the fast moves were pulled that some dealerships often get associated with. Seriously, if you're in the market for an Alfa in Huntsville, don't hesitate to work with these folks. I will definitely be taking my business back there soon.
