Although its hard to go go wrong with any full size truck these days except for maybe the Nissan Titan, the initial impression of my new Ram seems to be just a little bit better all around. Even if you have been a "hater" in the past, which many of us are, and for good reason, i strongly urge you to at least test drive one and give it a fair chance. You wont be disappointed. I found it to be the best performing, arguably the best looking, best optioned and with current rebates it was the cheapest. It is my belief that Ram Dodge Fiat (whatever) is trying to make a statement with this truck and in my opinion has done so! although i gave reliability a 5, only time will tell. GIVE RAM A CHANCE!

Just bought 2014 hemi ram crew cab nice straight pipe after the cat converter 33x12.5 x22 toyo tires black mayhem rims 106000 miles gorgeous pristine vehicle no complaints strong and responsive. I'm 64 drove crap all my life so I got this for me. Never knew you could buy a truck like that. 6 years old and it's still like new big tough strong and safe. Like driving a big comphy tank. Very impressed. Turns out my retirement truck is a 2014 hemi ram

Don’t buy for the suspension

Purchased this truck form a dealership and it’s a nice truck in a lot of ways but as soon as cold weather hit (we live in Canada) the suspension compressor went and it is completely unbearable. Dealership wants to charge $4000 to replace the compressor which they can’t even confirm will fix the issue. Basically whenever it is cold we have no suspension. We specifically bought for this feature as we have a trailer and boat to tow. Only other option is swapping out the air suspension for hard which apparent most people do. Shame on you Dodge for creating and marketing a feature that doesn’t actually work!

Transmission Leaking Day 1

I purchased this 1500 9-1-14 to replace my aging Titan (10 years old). The dealership was offering some great incentives for the holiday and the truck seemed to be rated pretty good so I thought it was a no-brainer. Until, I took it over my friends house (concrete driveway) and he informed me that I leaked transmission fluid all over it. I then looked under the truck and sure enough, it was leaking. Well, it has been to the dealer 4 times now and they still are having trouble fixing it. It is now at the dealer again. When they picked it up this morning, it had 1568 miles on it and most of them are from them doing test drives. Contact Chrysler support yesterday and waiting them...

We traded our 2012 Silverado in on this new Ram a few months ago, and so far, love the truck. The Chevys 5.3 ltr had very sluggish acceleration, and an irratic shifting 6 speed transmission. I test drove another new 2014 Silverado, a 2014 F150, and then the Ram. The 2014 Chevy was once again, sluggish. The Ford was ok, but the Rams performance and handling, IMO, was the one that was the most enjoyable to drive. The acceleration is amazing, and the 8 speed transmission is precise. The Hemi engine is powerful, yet we have been getting 25 MPG on the highway. Pretty amazing truck all the way around, plus it was priced thousands less than the Ford & Chevy.
