Excellent Truck!

2011 Ram 1500 Sport 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
Purchased my 2011 Ram about a month ago, and I could not be happier.
The truck is very comfortable and rides very nice, for a truck.
The fit and finish is excellent, plenty of cubbyholes for storage and soft touch materials.
The center console with bucket seats is huge and offers two levels of storage
The 5.7L Hemi has plenty of power when needed and gets decent gas mileage for a full … size truck (I am averaging 17.5 for mixed city/highway)
and the transmission is smooth and responsive.
Other than a minor issue with the brakes (sensor was mis-adjusted so the brake lights stayed on and cruise would not work) the build quality is very good.
About 116,000 miles, still rolling

2011 Ram 1500 Sport 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
At 75000 miles and 3 payments left on this truck, I got a leak in the roof. Auto repair facility says they fixed a leaky 3rd brake light at the top of rear window which is what it was.
No more problems with this truck. Somewhere along the way, I had a brake job (I think around 80,000 miles (good brakes)) and replaced the battery around 90,000 miles. On the negative side, my … mileage has slipped from and average of 18 to an average of about 16.5 or so. New plugs, filters etc didnt seems to help. Realistically speaking, this may be a heavier foot. This is a fabulous truck on the highway, love taking trips in it.
136,000 miles I had lifter problems. Mechanic said one of them broke and sent metal shards throughout my engine and oil pan. He said he could repair it but it may leak oil later. We opted that I should buy a new engine which I did. It has 1000,000 mile warranty or 3 years.
At 151,000 miles, my ring and pinion began to make noises and had to be replaced along with some bearings my mechanic mentioned.
Great Truck! Hands down

2011 Ram 1500 Sport 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
My first pickup and a great experience. I bought this one used with only 6K on the odometer. I was looking at Fords but the pricing was out of my reach. My friend has the Ford Platinum and headaches ever since he bought it used. I'm very happy with this truck. Haven't had any significant problems in almost 6 years and 100K miles of driving. Sometimes the remote door locks get finicky but … every car has it's issues. I'll take that one. Great acceleration. Great looks with the center console and duel exhaust. The 5.7 Hemi sounds great starting up every morning. I wish the all manufacturers of pickups could put longer beds on them as standard equipment. Definitely needs backup assistance.
Great to drive

2011 Ram 1500 Sport 4dr Quad Cab SB (5.7L 8cyl 5A)
Purchased used June 2010, 34K miles, now have 68K. Con's: Have heard clicking/grinding noise under pedals when traction breaks. I suspect universal to transfer case, but dealer will verify. Other issue is the Uconnect / radio, cuts out, pops, this too will be dealt with at dealer. No cabin air filter for these trucks, guess that was a cost savings from manufacturer, I installed my own in … 15 min. at a cost of $28.00 great investment. Glad I purchased the warranty. Pro's: Drove on vacation, I always use cruise, 19 MPG avg for trip of 2600 miles.
