Used RAM 1500 for Sale in Garland, TX

The process of purchasing a car can be rather intimidating for the female buyer. Mr. Alan you are 100% a person of integrity, and I want to thank you for being honest, reliable and so pleasant. Great salesman.

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!!

The quality of service at Rockwall Dodge/Jeep is always top notch. The service staff are efficient, friendly, and continually provide an elevated level of customer service.

My husband told me about Carvana from a commercial ad he heard/saw. I laughed about it and said 'yah right, there's gotta be a hitch somewhere'. A few weeks later, he brought up Carvana again....curious, I decided to check it out online. The key words there was 'check it out'. I ended up buying a vehicle a couple hours later. Yeup, it was just like that. No hassle, no hidden costs or agendas. So after reviewing everything on the site, I started looking at minivans....I started falling in love with minivans....I started buying minivans....all through carvana. Once I locked in the one I wanted, I went through the credit process, documentation process, and pick up date (I chose pick up - because at this point, I still felt a little 'leary' about the whole deal'. It was so simple, and so honest, and so real. Over the course of the next 24 hours, all my submitted documents were approved and we just had two days to go to pick up the new mininvan. When we got to the store, it's not like a dealership with a lot, but it had three beautiful, well lit, very clean, showroom like bays that your vehicle is sitting in for your to do a complete inspection of it. It was very classy. Please note, our particular location does not have the car vending machine just yet. After passing our over check, I hopped in the car and drove it 65 miles home. She ran like a charm and I knew I had 7 days to decide if I wanted to keep her not. At day 3, although I loved her, she didn't have all the bells and whistles I truly wanted so that evening, I was back on the Carvana site, shopping for a replacement minivan....it's so easy to do when it gives you results based on your financial settings....I found the new 'her' a few hours later. I ordered her up and made the quick call explaining I was swapping and chose to have the vehicle delivered instead of going there to save time. The whole swap process took 2 days...they pulled up right to my house with my next new minivan. In my eyes, she was perfect, but I found a flaw before she was even off the truck. There was a huge bolt in the back tire. I was so disappointed. But Carvana took care of that so amazingly over the top.....they still brought her off the truck so I can check out the interior, test drive it, etc. We found a few more things that we felt should be fixed...minor things. Carvana took note of the items, and took the vehicle back on the truck but promised me (because I really wanted her that day) they would bring her back with a new tire....they kept their promise, three hours later she was back with a brand new tire, not one, but TWO brand new back tires. And they put an extra Carvana cup in the car for me. They swapped the minivans and off the old one went and there I sat with the new one. Smile ear to ear. I worked with Carvana on 6 items that we believed needed repair before committing to keep the vehicle. Carvana went above and beyond. I got an estimate for the repairs at a local shop, Carvana approved it, and within a few weeks, all repairs were completed through Carvana and I have the perfect vehicle, no hassle, no hidden agendas. And every person I dealt with on the phone or in person were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING, FRIENDLY, HELPFUL, AND JUST THE BEST!! My Carvana experience was the absolute best. I will never go back to buying a car the old 'car dealership' way. And ironically, we had bought our other vehicle from a dealership just 3 months before being introduced to Carvana. I will give one warning about buying a vehicle through Carvana this way....it can be addicting..lol :-) Yes, I still shop Carvana cars every now and then....I don't even need a car, I just love seeing what Carvana has because it was sooo simple :-) Thank you Carvana for a trememdously wonderful experience.

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.

Buying a car is stressful even if you have a lot of experience. Historically, it has been time consuming, emotionally taxing and most of us go into a dealership with far less knowledge than we ought for a purchase of the magnitude of a car. Salespeople have (understandable) pressures to move inventory and even the most fair-minded is looking to get the highest price they can get away with. It is harrowing at best. With my experience with Carvana, all of these stresses were eliminated. I browsed inventory as widely or narrowly as I wanted, for as long as I needed. I could dictate pricing ranges that were suitable for me. The car I received was *exactly* the car I examined online, right down to some inconsequential bumper scuffs. Beyond this, and *absolutely unlike* any other online business, I could speak to a *real human being* within a few minutes of calling (I had six or seven conversations with Carvana agents over the 3 1/2 weeks from car selection to car receipt). They either had the answers at hand, or researched them and replied promptly with a follow up call. Delivery coordination and drop off (and test drive) were *painless no pressure* experiences???all preparatory contract paperwork was prepared in advance leaving only title transfer stuff to take care of. It took 45 minutes, tops. (I transacted entirely in cash, so I cannot speak to the process when there is financing.) Honestly, the biggest delay was on *my* end getting the insurance transferred (having to wait on hold with my insurance company for 15 minutes). The car was 100% was described???absolutely no surprises. The images on the web site for my car were not stock images. What I saw was what I got. Naturally, it was clean, filled up with a full tank, with new tires and the whole nine yards. Even got a ???free??? Carvana reusable coffee cup and key chain. Nice touch. The part that I found the most extraordinary was the 7-day money-back guarantee, which pretty much covers a change of mind unless you get into an accident or drive it a ton (over 400 miles, and even then, they???ll take it back after a modest per-mile-over-400 charge). All in all, I was dreading buying a car (and selling my used one) and Carvana made it pleasurable. I am absolutely recommending them to all of my friends and coworkers and I hope (as a relatively new company) they keep up the excellent work.

Smooth, good looking, Hemi strong RAM that made you feel like you owned the roads. Could not have asked for more out of a Truck, and I have owned many.

Yes, where do I start. Do I start with this being the best car buying experience I've ever had? That would be too obvious. But it would be the absolute honest truth. I think that everyone is so used to going to the dealership. Being there for 8 hours (you should get paid for being there you're there so long). Sales people trying to up-sell you on every little thing that you didn't ask for. Just an all around miserable experience. Then you go to carvana.com. You put in exactly what you're looking for. Exactly what you want to pay and presto you have a wonderful car. I believe it took me 45 minutes to do this entire transaction. From first going on the site and finding my 2016 Chervolet Equinox (maybe 15 minutes). To uploading my paperwork (5 minutes). To being approved (5 minutes). To having the car delivered, taking a test drive and signing the papers (20 minutes). It was the best transactions I've done since finding my husband. I've told everyone I know about this. We've watched videos of other people getting their cars. Too funny. Thank you Carvana for this wonderful experience. Can't wait to get my Husband a car now.

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

I could not believe how easy - and fast - buying a car could be. I decided a used car was for me, so I started looking online and at local dealerships. All I can say is that that experience was enough to put me off the whole process. Dealer add-ons. Limited or no warranty. ???What are you willing to pay???? Enough!!! I saw an ad online for Carvana, which I had never heard of, and thought ???what the heck.??? Such a great find! From the quick and easy search, to no haggle pricing, to easy payment (I was able to pay cash online, but they also offer financing), to a no-risk 7-day return policy AND an additional 100-day warranty on top of that! There was nothing to lose. It took only a few days for delivery - to my home! - and the paperwork was handled in about 5 minutes. They even had a notary show up! They handle the registration, too - no waiting in line at DMV. Bottom line: I love the car, I got it at a good price, and it could not have been easier. Actually, it???s scary how easy it was. I have to stop myself from looking more on he Carvana website, lol.

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.

I have wanted a Lexus RX since I first saw a family member drive one when I was in grade school (almost 20 yrs ago). So in October of 2017, I came here with my boyfriend to meet with AFTON in hopes of getting a Lexus RX 350 as a birthday gift... Well the numbers just did not work due to the negative equity I had to carryover from my trade-in; I was CRUSHED to say the least. My bf kept telling me you can try it again next year & I was so OVER him saying that until I realized he did it b/c he was going to propose to me a week later... (mic drop) He wanted my birthday to be memorable b/c of him not the car, lol... We got married in July of 2018!!! So here we are an entire year later, my current car is still in good condition but could use some TLC that I was going to have to pay for out of pocket. I looked into multiple other options & dealerships, but the road led me back to AFTON... It was a Sunday evening & I kept thinking about our first interaction when she told me she understood my situation b/c she had been in the same one & worked her way out of it. I couldn???t afford to wait any longer & the clock was ticking on me making the decision to refinance my current car or just get a newer one, so I looked for AFTON???s number (still in my phone from the previous year) & texted her right then... I thought ???This is CRAZY! She???s not going to remember you & it???s SUNDAY... She???s not even at work!??? I???m happy to say I was wrong... She did remember be & she texted me back promptly that same evening. By the next morning (Monday), I had texted her all of the info for my trade-in to see how much they could give me for it; by Thursday evening I was able to visit the showroom again... This time I had ZERO EXPECTATIONS! I told her I just wanted a newer car that was affordable & she said she could definitely do that. She remembered the car I really wanted from the previous year???s notes she???d saved & within 30 minutes had found a newer one in my price range... We took it for a test drive & I FELL IN LOVE, but I still tried not to get my hopes up b/c ???what are the odds this is going to work out now in less than a week???s time & I wasn???t even asking for it?!???... Well it worked! I spoke with AFTON about financing over the next two days (Friday/Saturday) then picked up MY DREAM CAR on Monday afternoon!!! AFTON was wonderful throughout the entire process. She was down to earth, relatable & kept me informed every step of the way! AFTON is AWESOME!!!

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.

I purchased a VERY clean 2011 G37 convertible here a couple of months ago. Everything went smoothly. Nasouh took great care of me and I WILL be back when it's time for my next purchase. VERY satisfied customer!

Will not own another truck besides a dodge ram great truck for the price and performance is outstanding as well as the ride is most comfortable I’ve had I may truxk

Not sure why I can't change my previous review directly, but I will update wit a new one. I was contacted by the Service Director and we re-scheduled my service for today. Everything was flawless, was impressed with the efficiency and professionalism of my service advisor, Justin Holt. If this dealership keeps this high standard of service, they might become one of the best in North Dallas. Thank you, guys!

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 purchased my new Toyota C-HR 2018 at Toyota of Dallas at the lowest price that I can find in DFW metroplex during last Memorial Day 5/28. The selections of all models at this dealer are so huge and the staffs are so friendly and knowledgeable. Although this was a very busy Memorial Day, they managed to complete my purchase in the shortest time that they can and so much quickier than I can expect. From saleperson to sale manager to finance manager, they are all truly professionals ! I strongly recommend this dealer. When you are in need for a new car, you should visit to believe it !

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.

My husband bought a YUKON Denali XL for my birthday in December. I just completed my 3rd service because, well, I drive it a ton. McKinney Buick GMC is so convenient for me to use and the service really is exceptional. I've never had to make an appointment because I'm able to get in and get out without one. There is an excellent service waiting area so I'm able to work while I wait. I've worked with two service advisors and both really took pride in their jobs and it was obvious they enjoy what they do. We didn't know this dealership existed until I googled for GMC's near me where I could get my service clued me in. (My husband went to two GMCs that he passed regularly and didn't know of the McKinney dealership either.)

After a day of car dealerships and not seeing or getting the service I was expecting, I walked into Dodge City of McKinney and was immiedately greeted by Bobby. He could sense the defeat I carried with me but he was persistent on me staying positive, that he has what I was looking for. I initially came looking at the Jeep but switched gears to the Dodge. Bobby worked with me on my credit and my monthly price point. We initially did not agree and C.J. came over to speak with me. After reviewing they were able to get me in an amazing vehicle for an amazing price and interest rate. They stayed positive, bent over backwards and took care of me all the way through. This was by far the best car buying experience I have ever had. Best customer service and perfect vehicle for my family!

Excelente servicio y una atención muy amable y profesional! Los recomiendo 100% ya es mi segundo vehículo comprado en esta agencia Muchas Gracias buen día

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.

Not your typical dealership. Sticker price set very competitively after doing my research homework and shopping around. Upgrades they made to my vehicle were done professionally and really customized my 2017 F250 SD. Lift, tires, wheels and the custom paint made the sale! Worked with Brice to close the deal after the original salesman unexpectedly left. Brice did a great job stepping in and keeping us interested by showing us different products until we settled on the vehicle that was right for us for what our long term needs were. Definitely recommend Hopper Motorplex to friends/family and anyone interested in purchasing a vehicle (yes they sell motorcycles too)! The no pressure sales approach actually made the car buying experience enjoyable. Got what I wanted/needed for a darn fair price. Not a lot of haggling. Shout out to John in finance for getting us the right extended warranty too. Glad ya'll are in business right here in McKinney! Thanks!

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.

Dakota R had the best customer service and also gave me a lot of information for my vehicle i am looking at when i am ready I’ll be buying from him !

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.

My wife and I traveled all over Dallas looking for the best deal on a 2018 Toyota Corolla SE. We fell in love with the vehicle's performance and aesthetics after test driving at a Toyota dealership. We weren't willing to settle for any other vehicle, nor did we want to modify our budget or give up 0% APR/60 mos. financing. After several poor experiences at Toyota dealerships around the DFW Metroplex, we were discouraged in the car buying process. At one particular competing Toyota dealer, we were victims of a bait-and-switch that left my wife in tears. My wife discovered Toyota Atkinson South Dallas close to her workplace and gave Ricky Chavez a text. He promised to beat the best offer we got from competing dealerships. True to his word, Ricky gave us an unbeatable price on the car of our dreams. He was open, honest, friendly and congenial. He guided us through a lengthy onboarding process as first time buyers. He also gave us some insight into his personal and career journey, giving us a sense of ease with the whole process. He answered all our questions. He was never condescending or dismissive of our questions, comments and concerns. In the middle of our buying experience, we stopped by the Customer Lounge. Marcelo Aviles helped us navigate the automated kiosk. We hadn't seen this type of technology in any other Toyota dealership. However, our one qualm would have to be the financing conversation at the very end of the sales experience. We felt intense emotional pressure to pay for GAP insurance and warranty add-ons despite repeatedly pushing back. The type of imagery Mark Havens and his director were using to convince us, such as my wife totaling the car write out of the lot, on the purchase of these add-ons was distressing. It led to an hour of lost time and some difficult conversations among our family. We missed our crucial, mandatory evening prayers as a result. I understand the legality and practicality of these options, but the pitch has much room for improvement. All in all, I would recommend Toyota Atkinson South Dallas to any friends and family looking for the best buying experience with a Toyota vehicle. Most of the staff was friendly, open and transparent. Ricky Chavez in particular is a phenomenal car salesman to work with. Thank you for helping us secure our freedom on the road!

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

Jeff Carter with Mac Haik Desoto Pre-owned Internet Sales This is the best gentleman, in my professional opinion, if you???re in the market for a vehicle you need to get acquainted with how to get the best deal possible. It was as easy as deciding what vehicle I wanted to buy, which was a Jeep Compass Sport, then Jeff searched the internet , then offered me a price lower than what he could find on line. All the shopping was done for me so I knew I was getting the best solution for my needs. Just to be safe I went, I always suggest a person checks this out, to edmonds.com to get a fair market price of the Jeep I was interested in purchasing. Jeff???s price was over $2,000 less than what Edmonds could locate in the area. Kelly???s Blue Book use to be the ???go to??? resource for car worthiness but Edmonds is the most up to date site of true market value. I actually entered the Jeep???s VIN number to do a spot on internet search. Not only do you get the best price, you also get great customer service. I am a person that hates buying cars, going to market in Mexico, and just dealing with price negotiations. I wish what the price was on the car is what you paid at every business that sells automobiles. However, we know that???s not the case unless you go to a place like CarMax which I would not recommend. So by Jeff shopping the internet for me in reference to an identical Jeep, he just beat the best price found so I was confident I was getting a better deal had I spent countless hours researching and shopping myself. Jeff???s fellow employees work together as a team; all put forth an effort to make the process simple. When I signed the buyer papers with the finance manager there were no last minute surprises. She even went as far as discussing my credit report by pointing out suggestions that would improve my score. I have Identity thief and my credit is a mess so I???m currently working with a company getting it cleaned up and accounts that aren???t mine removed. I had totaled my previous jeep so even though it was not the right time in my ID theft resolution, Mac Haik took that into consideration making the financing a breeze. So don???t hesitate to call to get your next car, Jeff Carter at Mac Haik, even if you have challenged credit issues. You can reach Jeff Carter by calling Mac Haik???s main number and asking for him in pre-owned sales: 972-274-8365. Text him at 972-971-7920 and/or email at jcarter@machaikdesoto.com. Most of my interaction with Jeff was from texting and emails; saving me time of constantly going into the dealership which is something as I mentioned above I despise. It took me one day to look, follow-up was from the comfort of my environment by texting, phone, or emails, and then the second visit was delivery of my new Jeep. Can it get much easier? This dealership has really put the car buying industry into the future by utilizing the internet for locating cars for comparison. They simplify the purchasing process, saving me time, money, and most important I felt in control. Due to Mac Haik???s business ethics, coupled with their system approaching customer needs, it was an enjoyable car buying experience that I have never encountered in the past with other dealerships.

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!!

My wife and I live in Georgetown, TX and found a Suburban for sale at this dealership. We called and spoke to Chris Alvarado and told him that we were interested in the vehicle and would like to come and see it, but didn't want to drive three hours one way only to show up and the car was sold. He told us that he could hold it until 7pm that night. We drove up there and arrived at 6:15pm and walked out with our Suburban keys by 8pm!!! There was zero haggling or negotiation to be had. He was upfront with us and honest! I accidentally left my handicap plaque in our old car and he found it and mailed it to us!! Great guy, great service and great dealership!! We will definitely be buying our next car from them!!!

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.

Great customer service team led by a Service Manager who will make certain repairs are done right and you leave happy even if it is causing him to age too fast.��
