2012 Ram 1500 | Tradesman | 4.7L 4x4 std bed | Towing package. After doing three months of research, I chose Ram. Got a great deal with MFR rebates and additional money off. Would have like to go with Ford but it was out of my price range. I do love my Ram and chose the most basic with the least amount of bling. I really just wanted a truck to move, pull and do general truck stuff. Got tired of hauling firewood with my minivan... maybe you saw my butt draggin along the highway?? lol! No More :) Looks impressive in Black! Interior is nice, seats are comfortable. I have a light foot :Mileage 16 city and about 20 hwy. I try not to hit it hard, but it will move when I need it to.
Was a great truck, till about 95,000 miles

When I bought this truck is was great! I traded a Ford for it and this was the first Dodge I ever owned. Around 95,000 miles the transmission went out and I had two broken exhaust manifold bolts. All this was covered under warranty. Then one month later, now out of warranty, some sensor in the intake manifold caused my transmission to shift poorly. This cost me $400 at my local mechanic. Then both front wheel bearing went out. Bought them at Autozone but the threads on the stud were wrong. So I had to get them at Napa, another $500. Then at 123,xxx miles I start getting an engine error code so back to my mechanic. The one of the lifters failed and destroyed the camshaft, another $3000 repair. At the same time my mechanic told me I had a warped exhaust manifold ad that I had broken the same two bolts. So I contacted Chrysler about it. They refused to do anything. Basically, as much as I like this truck, and I gave it a decent review, I would NEVER buy another product from Chrysler...period!!! My wife has owned several Jeeps, all of them have given major trouble. Chrysler can no longer build a good product. If you are shopping for a Ram, quit. They're not worth the money.

Really nice truck. For this model and price, i couldn't Ford or Chevy to come close as far as the amenities. I wish I had Ford Sync, and maybe some more gauges, i.e. oil, etc. I was not pleased with Chevy, unless you got into the higher lines (packages). The motor is so impressive. It is nothing to pass a vehicle on the highway. Watch the brakes on a 100 mph pass if you find yourself jumping back in between cars. I experienced a little swervy swervy in the front. The 4 wheel drive works great. The only issue I have noticed with the trans is that 1st gear extends a bit and releases abruptly. I have not realized any of the previous issues from the previous post except for the mileage.
Very unhappy

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.
Excellent Truck!

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.
