I bought this truck in October (I live in maine), I think the truck is good but I really do use it as a family truck and a work truck. It's is the best family truck but let's see what you get when you take it off road. Make sure to see pros and cons.

My truck is a work truck. I have a cushy car and this is not it. This takes things to the dump, takes me where I need to go and most importantly takes my travel trailer wherever I want to wake up the next day! My first work truck was a 1969 Dodge (yes I am that old) and they have only improved. The ride of these trucks is like no other truck! The coil springs make all the difference. I have a smaller V8 (4.7) as that is what I found when I was looking for a truck. I bought mine with 25000 miles on it. I have a friend with a 2007 with 225,000 on his and and I don't see any reason not to do that with this one.... if I live that long. Everything just works. It all fits together like it was meant to be one whole vehicle and not a box of parts. This thing is SOLID and really good looking too. They can be had used for a good price. I paid $15k for mine, with the towing package. What's not to like!

After owning fords for 22 years I bought this Ram 1500. I love the power and the interior features. Worried about floppy rear windows that rattle when down. It also shudders between 35-45 mph when not accelerating hard. With slight gas pedal the truck feels like its in the wrong gear. It feels like my f-150 that dropped a coil.

Well I have a 2012 ram 1500 with 48000km on it was very pleased with it up until 2 days ago. When I hit a bump doing 40km breaking the lower control arm at the ball joint. I had it towed to the dealership where it was purchase after they took pictures of the broken arm and the rest of the damage done to the truck emailing them of to a engineer. They called me back telling me that I must have be mudding and they will not cover the damage to the truck. At this point I am very upset with the way they have treated this situation and made up there own story of what happened. Witch is not one bit true leaving me with a 4000 bill the truck will be fixed and I will be going back to chev.

I purchased the Ram 1500 ST Quad Cab 4x4 (Black). I've had the truck for 3 months now. No complaints. I love it. I owned a 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 before this and I must admit there is no comparison. The Ram is better in ride, comfort and in my opinion, performance. I love the sound of the 5.7 Hemi (390 hp) engine. Very aggressive. The outside of the vehicle looks great as well. I got the 20" chrome wheels, dual rear exhaust with bright tips and I also added a tonneau hard cover for the bed. Looks absolutely fantastic. It's perfect for commuting to the office or hauling toys on the weekend. Take one for a test drive. You will not be disappointed.
