I purchased my truck living 1,100 miles from the dealership. The salesman, Brandon, was very professional giving me a true description of the truck. Needless to say, I was more than pleased when I saw the truck for the first time. All information given to me by phone was accurate, and the sales process was very smooth. I hope to do business with this dealership, and more especially, Brandon, in the future. I highly recommend to anyone that you consider purchasing your next vehicle from Garven Chrysler Dodge Jeep.
David Peters, took good care of my service needs today. He was very friendly and very helpful. After a quick consultation with David we opted for a "Coolant Flush Service", while I waited.
The waiting room was comfortable, with lots of literature, TV, vending machine, free donuts, coffee and bottled water.
Top quality GM products were used on my (very special to me) Pickup and the price was right. The service only took about an hour and I was on the road.
My overall experience was very pleasant, my vehicle is running fine and I would recommend Sakelaris' service department to a friend.
We found additional vehicles that are close to your year range.
Stuart was awesome he didn't push but helped all he could as a result I now have a new truck
2019 RAM 1500 Laramie Review
Why buy anything eles?

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.
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.
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.

2018 RAM 1500 Big Horn Review
Traded my 2015 Chevy Silverado V8 5.3, 6 spd, 4x2,

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!!
