2011 Ram 5.7L Hemi QC 4x4 SLT

I couldn't be more impressed with this truck. So far I've got nearly 3k miles on it. I can hardly stay out of it I enjoy driving it so much. The power is there when you need it and the fuel economy is very good for a full size truck. It looks great, and the build quality is light years ahead of the previous generation Ram. I love all of the interior amenities as well. This truck is very functional, and the ride quality is on par with some cars. The coil spring rear suspension is thing of beauty. It's a wonder that this hasn't been in a pickup before. Drove the Ford, and the Chevy and they don't even compare.

Thoroughly Drive This Beast Before You Buy

If you don't mind a "growly" engine and a vibration in the undercarriage in the "constantly seeking eco mode"..this is your truck. If you don't mind poor sight lines over the fenders, this is your truck..if you don't mind poor gas mileage, ( and, I'm talking 11mpg pure city and 16mpg max on long trips), this is your truck. If you don't mind poor paint quality, and poor customer service at the dealership, this is your truck. Never mind the deal you're going to get....it will cost you dearly when you go to sell it a few months later, when you don't enjoy even driving it anymore.

2011 1500 Big Horn

I absolutely love my 2011 1500 Big Horn! This is my 3rd Dodge truck (1995, 2003)! I was crazy about my 03 SLT, but this one may the best of the bunch! It rides awesome and had more that enough power! Great look...great gas mileage and very comfortable. Drove it over 800 miles the first day. This truck has just the right amount of chrome! I'm to see that Dodge is still 'changing the rules'! A++

I bought the 09 TRX4 crew cab and enjoyed the truck a lot. I didn't have any of the nice features I really wanted and being a new gen truck there were recalls to tweak this or fix that. Now that the Ram has a few years under its belt, I can tell it is much more refined and composed. I wanted chrome and 20" rims, so I opted for the Longhorn. I am extremely pleased with it. It has the center console and back up camera that is more helpful than I would have thought. I'm also very happy with the factory spray in bed liner.

This is my truck. Bought it new Dec 2010. Overall, been a total " winner." Very minimal problems... until Autumn 2021. Since last October, fuel pump, total AC rebuild, and replaced cam and all lifters. Touch screen stereo no longer works. In total, a great truck that I hope drive for another 175,000 miles
