Used 2010 Dodge Ram Pickup 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 4WD SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A) Consumer Reviews
Most reliable vehicle I've ever owned
Original owner on my 2010 Ram 1500 crew cab. She now has 122k miles. It is by far the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned (out of 7 vehicles). Aside from a couple recalls, I've had no major issues and few minor issues. Minor issues are: towing plug in had a bad ground (the unit itself) from factory, replaced and works fine now Instrument cluster has a couple background lights that occasionally go off and on. Haven't bothered to fix it yet as it requires dealership programming for the new cluster. The "Hemi tic" (started at around 55k miles, no real known fix for it) Tailgate lock wouldn't engage properly. There is a slide pin that engages in a channel, which moves another piece against a plastic piece. The sliding pin was getting stuck. Carb cleaner cleared the issue up. Steering wheel clicks occasionally when turning the wheel (tic is similar to sound of turn signal clicking off, but sound is there even when signal is already off) That's it, and I'm very rough on my vehicles. She's also been offroading off and on through the years at our local ORV park, as well as driven at an all day racing class (the brakes got hot during laps and required a cool down lap of the parking lot, but she's a lot of truck to stop in a racing situation). Excellent handling in slick conditions such as snow, ice and rain. Far superior to previously owned '97 Sonoma and '05 Colorado. I have yet to find a situation that I've been stuck in, and I hardly ever have to use 4wd. Actual MPG is around 17mpg city/small town driving (spirited driving style). Highway is between 18.5 and 21, depending on various factors.

Very Pleased!
The only truck in its class that truly, finally accomodates taller people. The bucket seating actually supports your leg to your knee, awesome for long trips. Especially if like me your not 5'5 or have a sciatic nerve that rears its ugly head on long trips. They have hit the mark on the interior design, a quiet firm ride. I think the fuel economy is consistent for the truck, right where I expected it to be. I was sick of sitting on chopped seats so a manufacturer can brag about leg room sacrificing my comfort. My Ram is just plain fun to drive with 390hp, long drives go by to quickly with the excellent interior comforts and ride. Overall best truck and ride I've owned.

very nice bull
I like everything in this truck. You don't feel moving at 70 mph. Lots of power on this truck. Should get all the options.
Best ever!
I have owned 14 full size pickups. Ford, Chev, and the even all plastic Tundra. I have never enjoyed driving any vehicle as much as this Dodge truck! Even my BMW stays parked. My avg economy is 18 MPG and I have a heavy right foot. I LOVE THIS TRUCK!
Not a great truck
Previously owned 07 Dodge Mega Cab - best truck ever! 2010 Ram Crew Cab is a far cry from the 07. Serious amounts of rust on all exterior surfaces, especially front bumper after only a few hundred miles (currently have 2100). Transmission shifts HARD when hitting the throttle to pass. Drives and handles more like a smaller SUV - this is not a truck for true truck lovers and is definitely an inferior truck to previous Dodge model years. Make sure you take time to look at all trucks before buying a new Dodge 1500.
