Used 2012 Ram 1500 Consumer Reviews
Revised now After 7 years
Very reliable. It's comfortable and has lots of power when you need it. If you're looking for mpg then don't buy a truck. Ram is still the best! It’s been very reliable and still looks great.

Dropped valve
5.7 broke exhaust bolt off at 40k and dropped a valve wrecking the motor at 80k. Both are cases of using poor quality hardware.

Almost Perfect
I've had my 2012 Ram 1500 Quad Cab "Outoorsman" for just about a year now. Without a doubt the most comfortable and well appointed vehicle I've ever owned. Absolutely no issues that sometimes plague new cars. Car like ride on the road, very quiet for a big truck, yet very capable off road. The off road ride is head and shoulders above any other full size truck. A bit on the expensive side for a truck but all vehicles seem to be excessively priced these days. Gas mileage on the 5.7L Hemi obviously isn't that great but you don't buy a full size truck if fuel economy is priority #1
Happy with the MPG and hauling
Just got my 4.7 Ram about a month ago and I'm pleasantly surprised. For a large truck it averages alittle over 20mpg on the highway, and 17.5mgp in the city while handling like a car. I burn wood and purchase these large pallets full of wood that the seller says he has weighed at close to 600lbs each. I'm able to fit two into the bed of my truck and can notice only a slight drop to the truck. Driving with the load isn't bad either. With the 4.7L the truck acclerates smoothly with little to no lag with the load while hauling the wood up to my house in the mountains. The turning radius is great as well helping to navigate through traffic and parking lots. I had a smaller truck recently and this beast is definetly more nimble in tight spots. I would recommend the purchase as a 5 star and if it changes I'll update my review. I have ordered the K&N kit and will have it installed by next week which I'm anticipating better throttle response as well as some improvement to my mpg-we'll see how it goes.
