Used 2013 Ram 1500 Consumer Reviews

Worth the wait!

I did a very extensive review of Ford, Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ram, Chevy, and Cadillac when I was going to choose my retirement truck. All of these trucks are great and you can't go wrong honestly with any of these amazing vehicles. For me, I'm a father of two (Boy 12, Daughter 10) and a husband. I worked for the military for 20 years and have always wanted a loaded truck for retirement with money not being an object...I still want a good deal though. I didn't need a 4X4 because I never needed it on my Ridgeline so I opted for the two wheel drive and comfort over off road duties. So the Good: This 2013 Laramie is a looker! It just looks amazing with it's aggressive stance and chrome grill and trim. The quality is excellent both inside and out. The leather seats are soft and VENTED and HEATED!!!! the stitching on the dash and seats just set it off. The interior is not a clone interior like the Mustang and the F-150 share just about identical interiors. POWER EVERYTHING! High tech LCD, customizable cluster with analog display as well that are integrated to the central display console in the dash. The blue tooth works like a champ and it very easy and intuitive to use. Navigation is good, but it'll never replace your phone. Plenty of charging docks and USB's for all your power needs and if you need it, you can make your truck a WI-FI hub. The sound system is amazing with clarity, volume, and bass! The ride is like floating and it is very easy to maneuver this beast, especially with the built in back up camera with guiding backup assist that is responsive to your steering inputs! Very cool. PLENTY of power! We towed a camper behind us with zero problems, it was like it wasn't even there. Exhaust sounds deep and strong and the acceleration gets you up to highway speeds and out of trouble FAST!!! The kids are comfortable in the back with plenty of leg room, and when the kids aren't there and you're grabbing groceries, the seats flip up with mini LEDs that light your rear cab located under the seats. Lots of hidden compartments in the front and the back to squirrel away bungie cords, first aid kits, tie down straps, jumper cables etc... I get compliments from people all the time on this truck, she's a looker, has a great personality, strong, smart, and gets along with the family, all for a decent price! Seriously, the price/value is what won the Ram my 40 large for a used 2013 with 12,000 on it. With all the accessories and options, as well as the leather, 5.7 liter, AND a HUGE cab, the competition STILL wanted almost 50 Gs for a 2013 used model. Easily gets 18/20 MPG on the highway. Did I not mention that it looks amazing?! The Bad: The original tires that came from the dealer are garbage and wore VERY fast. I've already had to have the central LCD screen/computer completely replaced (I bought the extended warranty plan) and had to have a hose replaced to put out the check engine light. The cover for my tail hitch bolt cracked and came off making it look ugly (Petty, I know but the cover failed and cracked then fell off). The Fan for the A/C started to make a very LOUD noise while in use and that was replaced (under warranty). In the city it gets 14 MPG (It's a truck, I know, but these are real world stats here). It has a back up camera, but it really needs front sensors too...the hood is so high that I often misjudge how far away I am and have to check and re-park closer. Overall: As you can see, the good vastly outweighs the negative. Ram nailed it and I see RAM trucks everywhere now. For me, the amount of Truck and FEATURES were the most important to me, given the price. Ram's value in the end won it my hard earned cash, I LOVE, that truck!

radio sucks

I have owned 4 new dodge rams over the last 12 years and was overall happy until this last Ram and the radio issues (COMPUTER HUB AS THE DEALER CALLED IT), i have had constant issues with the blue tooth and the radio freezing up and seems to be a very common issue on the web with no help other then lets replace your radio because the down load didn't work at the dealer so 575.00 for a new radio with very a promise that's its fixed - i have never been so set off with a 3 year old truck then i am with Dodge today - last one

2013 Laramie Longhorn

Beautiful and comfortable, purchased as executive transport and winter vehicle. Handling in snow is excellent with 4WD Auto.

Very Poor Electrical systems

My husband & I bought a 2013 Ram 1500 V8-Hemi fully loaded Lonestar package 6 months ago. Electrical problems: Ram box, glove box & reading lights inoperable; Cruise control & traction control dash lights staying on. Mechanical: Check engine light came on due to a faulty injector -required replacement. Not once were we offered a rental car although we purchased the add on comprehensive Zurich vehicle service contract. All repairs required 3 different visits lasting multiple days. We just learned the odometer is reading at least 15 miles above driving speed. We will return for our 4th repair visit tomorrow. We traded a 2003 Dodge ram we drove 10 years that we loved. Very dissappointed!

The 8 speed makes this truck, along with the Interior.....

I am in love with the 13 Ram 1500 Laramie 4x4 8speed Hemi! The engine and 8speed trans is buttery smooth and the 8 speed allows you to really harness the 400hp hemi making it VERY fun to drive. The interior is rated TOP TEN in the world versus any other vehicle on the road! Yes, it is that nice. I drove the 6.2l and Ecoboost Ford F150 and while it was good, the trans is nothing close to the 8 speed and the interior is cheesy at best. I drove the 2014 Chevy and with all the vibration and recall issues,I would not touch it with a 50ft pole, not when spending 45k+. My best advice is, don't think of this as a RAM of old, this is a completely new animal. Very Awesome! MPG is also unreal 17.5ave!!

The best and worst

Hemi. I've owned 3 hemi vehicles: Charger, Challenger, Ram. I've put a lot of miles on the hemi and know how reliable they are, very! Never once had an issue. Yes, they make noises such as ticking and will from day one. They are bullet proof. No burning oil, no cut-outs, lots and lots of power. In the Ram with the windows up, it's very quiet. I mean VERY quiet. Compared against our Porsche Cayenne and Infinity G35; the Ram is the most Quiet, I kid you not. The ride is very smooth. This is easily our favorite car. Nothing like working hard, loading that truck up with supplies to finish our yard, and still having more power and better gas mileage than our Cayenne. Grows on you!!!

This is a luxury truck, not a job site truck

I've got 8000 miles on my truck now, it's white with gold two tone, with the cattle tan interior. I intentionally avoided the laser etched filigree seats as to me, it would have been too much country. Options I have are the 8 speed rotary dial transmission, the multi-level air suspension, Rambox storage, and each of those options to me are an absolute necessity when getting this top of the line model.

5 years still no problem

made this review because this truck had some negative reviews. I have had my truck when she was just a baby with 3 miles on it I haven't had 1 problem with this truck ever the motor has 50k miles on in and still runs like the day I got it. the interior no on tear everything is perfect. hope this helps someone.

My First Dodge

Being my first truck I had no known expectations. I checked out the Ford F150, The GMC, The Chevy Silverado, Toyota Tundra and Nissan Titan. Dodge was not even on my list. After reviewing the trucks above I decided it was between GMC and Ford. On the way home from test driving the Ford for a second time I pulled into the Dodge dealership and was introduced to the Dodge Ram 1500 Big Horn Quad Cab. Even before I test drove it I was immediately impressed with the features and the overall impression that the trucks interior was much larger and wider than the other trucks. The I took it for a test drive and once again I was amazed at the difference in comfort this truck has in comparison.

2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Express 4x4 Quad w/ Hemi

Drove 2013 f150 STX 4x4 ext cab, 7k discount, priced at $27k. Decent truck but kinda cheap interior, just felt it was overall average. Toyota wasnt even close asking 33k for similar equipped truck as ford. And Toyota doesn't discount! Poo poo to them, their vehicles have had lots of issues lately and Tundra is dated. Dodge had the quad express hemi 4x4 discounted 11k down to 24k! Drove it and felt more refined, smooth ride, powerful and great interior. Honestly has everything needed. Navigation, leather, and backup camera are really the only things missing in the express. I get 18mpg combined driving too! No Joke! Friend has ecoboost f150 and he can't get 18mpg and he doesn't have a hemi!

If you don't mind a glitchy electrical system...

My truck is acutally a SLT Big Horn V8, but that option isn't listed. Truck rides nice, looks awesome, carries a lot and has acceleration out the wahzoo. I read all the reviews on these trucks, saw the problems listed for the 2013's & 2014's on websites (like Car complaints). I have owned Ram in the past and really liked them, so I took a chance on this one. But I bought an extended warranty with it (something I never do). Good thing I did, has already paid for itself. And I'm sure it'll pay for itself again. Had it about 4 months and the center info display (behind the steering wheel), blanked out. It was about 14 degrees out, but as soon as the truck warmed up it came on again. Everyday the temp went below 20, the center display would go out. The radio works fine, that screen didn't go out. But these years are notorious for problems with electrical (mainly the TIPM which controls everything). Both of my front struts were leaking, but that's not bad for a 5yr old truck w/85k miles. Warranty paid to replace them. Warranty also covered the exhaust manifold when it developed a leak. Again, expected on a truck this old. I would buy it again, but def with and extended warranty.

Love My Ram

Last week I bought a Ram Express 1500 Crew Cab with the Hemi and 3.92 rear end. It rides like a dream! I only have 500 miles on it, but got 19.3 miles per gallon on a 150 mile round trip. Average between city / highway is 17.4 mpg in the first week. Not bad for a 395 hp V8. I didn't try Ford because I just couldn't justify the price difference. Already own one GM product and it has been in the shop more times than I care to mention. Plus the V8 just doesn't have any balls compared to the Hemi. I am hoping this truck will pull my 6000 TT with ease. Already installed a BedRug and Access Tonneau cover. Also hoping it is reliable. But first week has been great. Rock on Ram! 05/23/2016 - Well, it's been 3 years now and I still love my Ram! Mileage isn't quite as good since my kids have been driving it as I am sure they are opening up the Hemi. But, towing my 6000 pound trailer has been awesome. My Ford E350 with the V10 would actually drop down to about 52 mph on a long hill and nearly overheat. With the Ram I can accelerate up that same hill and hit 70! Plus I get between 7.5 and 8 mpg vs. the 6.5 to 7 mpg I used to get with the Ford. Truck still runs like a watch and hasn't needed anything but standard maintenance. Plus it is worth way more than I owe on it. Yippee. I still highly recommend it. 11/28/2016 - Still loving the truck. Did have to replace the tires at 35,000 miles, but wouldn't change a thing. The van has still been problem free! Still highly recommended. 05/28/2018 - 5 years and 54,000 miles with the truck and still loving it. It has not been problem free, but it has not been a problem either. Had to get both exhaust manifolds fixed as the bolts broke on both due to an expansion / contraction rate issue between the steel manifold and the aluminum engine block. Both were covered under the 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. Also, replaced the brakes around 50,000. Mileage isn't as great as it used to be either (I.e. 16-17) but overall, still love the truck and can't imagine parting with it.

Blown motor, not meaning supercharged either.

79,000 miles and motor needs replacing. I'm original owner and followed all service intervals most of which done at dealership. Cam and main bearings or connecting rod noises. Also have drivetrain hesitation. Come to a stop and a second later will feel a slight clunk in drivetrain.

Cam and Lifters should have a recall

MY 2013 RAM Laramie/Longhorn 1500 hemi 5.7 liter at 137,000 miles and regular oil change/filter etc., come to find out this is a REGULAR BIG ISSUE the Cam and Lifters in this particular engine, this is my second Ram but this one was Mac Daddy with the $$$price$$$ tag to boot, I should not be having these issues with this truck especially when I baby Him, this is NOT the first mechanic that has given me the LOOK when I asked for a second opinion. (mechanic is like)"Mam, this is a problem with these particular engines"...WTH? My hair stands up like a razor back boar, ready for the charge! I am sorry [non-permissible content removed] it was not in my brochure that this was an issue or in my recall list! RAM/DODGE should have a recall and fix this before it becomes a MUCH BIGGER ISSUE with it's consumers. My price tag for this ISSUE will round out to be a MERE $5,000. Then to add more misery There is Now another recall on this particular vehicle. This truck has had more recalls than any vehicles I have owned, this is The 3 Ram we have owned, still have two, I will NOT buy another after this big disappointment

Totally Unreliable

Owned for just over 2 years so far - alignment bad right off dealer lot (never even got home the first day owned), driver visor drops down even after replacement, broken panel on console from factory, console lid won't latch down, rear passenger window won't roll up, start/stop button stuck and left me stranded, clanking noise in front end - stripped gears in rack&pinion assembly, poor paint resulting in rust at body seams in wheel wells, radio drifts frequencies on hot days, leaking rear pinion seal, mileage has dropped about 20% after first 12 months, multiple software updates required in short time I've had it. Great mileage at first, now dropped off, quite comfortable, but weak and sagging rear suspension under moderate load. Dealer refuses to fix all the issues. Dodge refused buy-back under lemon arbitration. Won't stand behind warranty, which of course has now expired.

Beware

I bought a brand new 2013 RAM 1500 and must admit that it was my first brand new purchase for a vehicle. I got a couple blocks away from the dealership when all of a sudden steam and smoke started pouring out from under the hood. I looked down at the temp guage and it was slightly below the red mark. I pulled over and popped the hood and found a rad hose not attached to engine. I called the dealership who sent a tech out to meet me (later found out that the hose is given a plastic peice at the factory to assit in assembly and it was never removed causing the hose to fall off under pressure). I spoke with the dealership and Chrysler Canada and was told too bad basically, your stuck with it.

286,000 miles and unstoppable

This truck is so old no one will probably read this but, 286,000 miles, daily drive 150-160 miles. This truck is still tight, uses no oil and everything works. I change engine oil when indicated, change transmission oil every 50,000, change all heater and engine hoses every 100,000. Preventative Maintenance is the key. I would drive this across the U.S tomorrow with confidence.

No more lower back pain...

I am 62 years old and I have always owned trucks. Personal use only. Trailering the boat. Hunting. Hauling stuff from the lumber yard. Whatever. Having owned just about every brand except for Nissan I can attest to one undeniable fact of life at this point in time. My Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie Longhorn Crew Cab is the best Truck I have ever owned on so many levels. I test drove every truck available in August of 2013 and my first impression always decided for me. If the Driver's seat was unacceptable my lower back would start hurting almost immediately. This is the ONLY Ram Truck that had proper lumbar support and comfort along with cooled and heated front seats that allowed me to drive longer than 5 minutes. State of the Art Tech Package and I like the Ram Side Storage Bins a lot. The 5.5' Bed is to short on several levels but they did not have any with the 6.5' Bed so...Mine had the Spray In Bed-liner. However, with rain the bed does not drain so find an incline, point the nose uphill and drain the bed. The Fuel Economy is exactly as labeled. 13 City and 17 Hwy. However, If you can tolerate 60mph the 5.7 Hemi with Console Shift 6 speed AT will yield 20mpg all day long in NW Florida. 520Watt Alpine Stereo rocks the Cockpit with Pandora Radio from my iPhone via Bluetooth. The U Connect Nav System is not perfect but fairly accurate given where I live and travel. The female living in the Black Box (Ethel) is about the most cooperative woman I have ever asked to call someone. Seriously friendly Bluetooth System with the Ram. Had 4 Factory Recalls in 3 years of Lease and then bought out the Truck at the end of the lease with only 21,000 miles on the clock for $29,500. KBB Excellent Condition Retail in August of 2016 was $40K. Mine was $55,000 new and $44,000 after Rebates and Discounts. Exact OEM Replacement in 2017 runs about $60K. However, IF you drive more than I do I would seriously consider the 3.0 Italian Turbo Diesel. A friend of mine has one in his 2014 Longhorn and claims 30mpg everywhere with the mandatory 8 speed AT. No other maintenance issues per se since new. Annual Oil Changes and Rotate the Tires every 10,000 miles. My OEM H7/94R Battery will get replaced at about the 4 year mark. Wiper Blades every year. Remove the Antenna and tuck in the mirrors for monthly car washes. I crawled under the truck the other day to just have a look and no rust per se anywhere. But seriously, a $4,000 Depreciation over 3 years and 21K Miles in an American Made Half Ton 4x4? Never would have guessed that in a million years. These Trucks have won multiple awards for reliability and longest lasting but that matters little to me if my lower back isn't comfortable for any distance I need to travel. I sincerely hope this will be the last truck I ever own in my lifetime. And, IF I never, ever, ever have to deal with Chrysler Capital again I will die with a smile on my face. JP

Love My Hemi

Prior to buying please be made aware that with the Hemi 5.7 V8 you'll average 16MPG in town and 20MPG on the highway. Truck is a 2013 and has had no problems what-so-ever. Truck was built very well with no rattles. You'll love the Ram and I've heard that the new ones have much more features than mine has. GREAT REBATES GOING ON NOW!!!

Worst vehicle I’ve ever owned

I come from a family that has owned nothing but dodge trucks for the last 40+ years. The truck looks great, and interior is nice. That’s about all I have good to say about it. Now for the bad parts. I preformed all the required maintenance at the intervals the truck required and can’t keep it on the road. At around 50k miles the engine started tapping. I took it in and found out the cam shaft was ruined and lifters were ground off. After 2 months of the dealer having it I get it back (with the gas light on) and the following week the transmission locks into 4th gear. I take it back and after 5 weeks get it back everything seems fine. 3 months later the engine tapping cane back along with transmission issues. This happened a total of 5 times for the engine. THE SAME EXACT PARTS CONTINUING TO FAIL! During this time I contacted Chrysler to see if we can find out what is causing this to happen on both the transmission and the lifters grinding down, I was told that “engineers would look at it and figure it out.” After I get the truck back I had no response from Chrysler. I called and emailed and received no response. So basically I’m stuck with a truck that constantly needs rebuilding of the drivetrain. With Zero help from anyone. In the last 2 years I’ve owned he truck, the dealer has had it a total of 10 months. Half the time I didn’t receive a loaner like the warranty said I should. This is by far the worst experience I’ve had with a vehicle that is supposed to be “ram tough” this is the last dodge I will ever own and warn everyone I can to stay away from this company and their products. 5 engine rebuilds and 5 transmission rebuilds in less than 100k miles is absolutely ridiculous. Buy a ford or Chevy

New Truck Just Quit

We bought the RAM 1500 in Feb 2013. It ran great for 9000 miles, averaging 22 mpg city/25 mpg highway. On a trip to the Florida Keys, the "check engine" symbol was displayed flashing and the truck automatically shut down while we were traveling at 60 mph on a busy highway. VERY unsafe condition. We finally were towed to a dealership. They replaced an ignition coil. Five miles later it happened again. Had to get towed once again. Dealership found that it was a short in the wiring bundle. Problem finally fixed. Overall cost to us - $400 (rental cars, hotels, etc.). Called RAM to see if they would provide some compensation, and they said sorry about that. Nice support there.

Best truck for the money

This review is based on a comparison with my last truck which was an 2014 F150 XLT Supercab with the 3.7L V6 which I sold to purchase the new Ram 2016 regular cab. I purchased this new model in 6/2016. This truck has the 3.7 6 cylinder mated to to Rams 8 speed automatic with active grill shutters which automatically close at highway speeds for economy. Its rated at 17 city, and 25 hwy. I have never gotten less than 20mpg in the city! The ride is smooth and comfortable, the engine is quiet and in my humble opinion, the design beats the domestic rivals hands down in looks and driveability. I got my Tradesman with power windows, locks, satellite radio, cruise, remote tail gate locking, which the Ford did not have, tow package, bedliner etc for about 25k with rebates. Guys you won't find a nicer better looking, and driving truck for this amount. I give it 5 stars. Plus free 5yr roadside assistance and 100k power train warranty

Unimpressed

Can't believe that this is the truck of the year! Have about 2000 miles on it and have scheduled second trip to dealer to try to fix the radio. The touch screen goes black and I can't control the radio. I also have had on several occasions where when I turn the key nothing happens. If I take the key out and try again, then it will start. Not very comfortable feeling if I want to take it out into the woods. I will give it credit for fuel economy with the 6 cyl and 8 speed transmission. Not sure if I like the dial shifter. In light of the other electronic issues I am not confident that will not become an issue down the road. The ride is good, the paint was not the best quality

7yr review of 2013 Ram 1500

2013 SLT BIG Horn w/ 5' 7" bed (option not shown), 6speed auto crew cab. I've had this truck since 55miles on the odometer. 167k miles Used synthetic oil for all but 3 changes. Maintenance issues: Original radio replaced under warranty, 1 tpms sensor replaced, back sliding glass switch acts up when hot outside, water pump replaced at ~140k miles, factory pads/rotors replaced ~150k miles. From around the DC area have done trips to Vermont & Orlando, towed a truck on trailer to Orlando. No big issues/surprises. My first new vehicles and love it. Over the years I've added a tonau cover, 1k pd helper bags, light bar. Gas milage seems decent w/right foot discipline, have gotten up to 25 on hey doing 70 no cargo (flat roads) edit: lil over 206k miles now and despite all deer & mustang attacks it's still going strong!

Ray's Review

A great performing, comfortable and classy truck...I am comfortable taking high-level clients with me during the week and being available to help others who need a pickup truck to haul whatever on the weekend. Actually feel as though I am getting what I paid for!

Lowered 2013 Ram R/T gets looks and is quick

The "R/T" model is actually a Sport. Dealerships may very well have no idea what a Ram R/T is. I bought my 2013 Ram R/T used in 2016; the previous owner installed a Belltech aftermarket 2/4 lowering kit. Rear end of these trucks tends to sway at 40+ mph when lowered and riding on bad shocks. I swapped out to beefier shocks and truck rides great now. Recently, I've installed ARH long tube headers and a custom tune which dramatically "wakes up" the 5.7L Hemi in this truck. The 6 speed trans has a poor reputation but mine has been good so far... shifts a lil slow for my tastes. If looking for a Ram R/T, get the 8 speed if possible as they have a fantastic reputation. Other than knowing my 6 speed trans might fail at some point, I love my truck. Comfortable and powerful. Remote start on cold days with seat and steering wheel warmers is soo nice. Ram boxes are very handy to have on a single cab if you know you'll never use a bed canopy. Note that my MPG in this review reflects a custom tune, headers, and 92 octane fuel. When stock, this truck ran on 89 octane and was getting about 17 mpg in mixed traffic. The engines MDS (a cylinder deactivation technology) does help with improving mileage.

Tows good. Slightly under powered. Runs great

Love the looks and gas mileage. Tows my 18ft pontoon ok with the 4.7.

Lifters and camshaft problems

I have problems with lifters and camshaft about 103000 miles, hemi 5.7 need a recall for lifters, that cost to 5000 dollars

Best looking pickup out there (IMHO)

I'm not a pickup guy but they've gotten so much nicer over the last 10 years that I reconsidered. I'm also a Ford guy and swore I'd never by a Chrysler product. But the Ram 1500 has great styling and features across the whole line. The Longhorn is just nicer looking than the tip-top F150 Limited. Head-turning styling with rugged good looks outside, and a luxury car interior.

Awesome experience!!

If you want a truck this is the truck to get! First off what's better than a hemi?! This is most fun I've ever had driving a vehicle in my life and I've also owned a charger. It's definitely a truck that I would buy more than once and I could drive it for years.

Can't get out of its way

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!

Love the 2013 Ram but.....

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.

Excellent Truck

This is my second Ram 1500 and extremely pleased with quality, fit and finish. First Ram I drove to 390,000 miles this one is 86,275 and both have been great trucks!

Dependable truck

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.

Best gas 4x4

Owned my 2013 for years now. 148k and still a solid, comfortable, and reliable truck. Had a few maintenance issues over the year re: a couple bolts in block broke, water pump, heater core leak. But, I’m at 146k so some issues to be expected. Other than that and regular maintenance, I love my Ram.

Love my Hemi Ram

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

No more ram

Because of dodge ram customer service I am never going to buy ram again also very bad trucks

Ram 1500 4x4 Sport

My Dodge with Hemi

The best truck I have ever owned. The most dependable work and play truck. The 5.7 hemi has got to be one of the best motors.

drives well and does what I need

3.6 liter 6 cylinder has plenty of go for me. All I want and nothing I don't with the SLT package. I took off the goofy plastic cladding from the rims. There are wheels under there! 100k miles. So far so good.

Love the luxury

This vehicle to loaded to the max. Feels like being in a luxury car only better view with towing And hauling ability.

Love it!

Drove to Pittsburgh, Dallas and Nashville from Detroit. Every weekend to the lake about 2.5 hours away. Super comfortable ride, great gas mileage fun to drive. 6 cylinder doesn't like big hills. Very happy with this this truxk

Expensive transmission repair

Required an expensive transmission repair just a few hundred miles past the 100,000 mile power train warranty. Unbelievable. Very frustrating. As a decades-long loyal RAM owner, I'll think twice about purchasing another one.

Nice truck

Nice ride, very well taken care of, has a lot of bells and whistles. So far great truck all around.

I have thoroughly enjoyed owning and driving this truck.

Lucky to get prime condition used truck

All critical components in good working condition, despite 155,000 miles. Truck was obviously well cared for.

Expensive Camshaft /Lifters failure and now ABS mo

I have a 2013 Ram 1500 Lonestar edition. Last May I had to spend over $5k to get the engine rebuilt due to same camshaft / lifter failure mentioned by a number of people. I found out that this is a very common issue with this truck. Then in November or so I started having issues with ABS light coming on. I had it checked by the dealership and was told my ABS module was failing but due to a lawsuit there is a manufacturer hold and the part can't be ordered. By February this year the instrument cluster started flickering and flashing off, all Guages dropping then coming back up at random while driving, constant dinging, etc. I took it into another dealership to get a diagnostic to see if there wasn't something else going on. Still told it was all caused by the failing ABS module that was still on hold (at that time estimated availability this summer). I checked back on the module again in June, nope pushed back to August estimated availability, checked back in August, nope now being told it's not expected to be available until at least October of 2025. Absolutely ridiculous! I'm looking to replace the truck now (despite still making payments) and ditch Ram all together.
