The v6 may be ok in town but not for highway use. Even the slightest hill and it loses speed. The cruise control can't keep up with traffic on the highway. This thing needs a turbo. It is one thing to have a truck that can't tow anything and we knew that. We have a real truck for towing (96 2500 Ram) but it should be able to keep its speed up. The seating position is also very low. I am 5'9" and I can't see the front corners. When you back up to a dock by yourself it is pure guess work. Really liked the older trucks where you could see out. Check engine light came on the second day and repeatedly since then. It wasn't a big deal with the dealership and they didn't want to work on it until the warranty expired and then they wanted to fix it. With the way the dealership worked us on this truck and the service department, this will probably be the last dodge or ram for us. We have been driving them since we bought the 96 and have had several different ones. Finally solved the issues with this truck.. SOLD IT!

This is the best truck I have ever owned. I have made lots of trips for my friends to get parts for the Chevy or Fords

Best truck I ever owned. Had it for 5 1/2 years. Only things that went wrong were the cruise control button, & wire harness for headlights. Cruise button was still under warranty & te wiring harness was $135. Other than that I paid for regular oil changes, tires, & an air filter. Had 73,000 miles on it when I traded it in. Had 12,000 miles when I bought it used in 2014. It had the 5.7 Hemi with the 6 speed transmission. Crew cab big horn.

2013 Ram 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 6.3 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

I bought a 2013 Ram Laramie 1500 a couple years ago. Here’s my thoughts: this truck handles well, accelerates well and is more comfortable than my 2008 Sierra. It has all of the tech features for the time and the air ride suspension. That suspension is a blessing and a curse. The truck rides very smoothly and quietly and I attribute that to the air suspension. We had a week of very cold weather this last year in Seattle and the truck decided to bottom out to the bump stops and become useless due to the air suspension . This rectifies itself once the weather warms up and the truck will raise itself to a normal driving position. Also, do not try to use the key fob to set the truck to entry exit mode and leave it sitting overnight. The compressor won’t stop running and you’ll wake up to a dead battery. This has happened multiple times. Battery checks out as fully charged but the truck is dead. Not cool. Not ideal when you have to be to work early. MPGs in town have not broken 10ish. It’s a gas hog. On a 3+ hour cross state trip I did get it to 24 mpg. I have projector headlights and replaced with aftermarket HID lights as the stock ones were very weak. The interior LED map lights flicker horribly and need replacing. If you want a RAM of this era, stay away from the air suspension in cold climates and be ready for odd electrical gremlins. I miss my Mercedes Benz GLK. That thing was flawless.
