Eats gas fairly well. This is a quad cab Big Horn 1500. I'm getting a ticking sound from engine but no problems. I heard the MDS system cause engine problems, but none for me so far. I did get the RAM warranty just in case. Only 66,000 on it so far. Will give a update later

Avoid all RAM 1500 with 8-speed transmission

If you are planning on owning this truck beyond 100K miles, buy something else. The 8-speed transmission is NOT SERVICEABLE. Twice, at about 90K and again about 130K, I begged my dealership to flush/fill, replace filters in the transmission on my 2014 Ram 1500. I was told, "it's a sealed unit, and you can't do that." How do you build a transmission and don't make it serviceable? After all service done at two different Chrysler/Jeep/Ram dealerships (oil changes, water pump, front wheel bearing), my transmission went out at 161K. My dealership told me it would cost $5600 to replace the entire transmission. It was actually the torque converter that went out, but in the Ram 1500, they are one complete unit (you can't just replace the torque converter). I drive a lot, but it's all highway with zero towing. No stress on the transmission and it went out. I called Chrysler and told them what my history was and offered to pay for $1000 - $1500 of the repair. They offered me nothing. Not a few % points off the repair, not a loyalty discount if I traded and purchased another Ram (like I would), nothing at all. The agent I spoke to, put me on hold and talked to a manager, who told her to tell me, "sorry, there's nothing we can do." So I am making it a part-time job to tell everyone I can NOT to buy a Ram 1500. Here's a list of things I did like about it, until the transmission went out. The look, the entertainment system, visibility, acceleration, braking, comfort. Loved it all until the transmission went out. I ended up taking it to Toyota, where I traded for a new Tundra Limited. I owned a Tundra before the Ram and got 300K miles on it (and sold it for $11K). I will never buy another Ram. Don't make the same mistake I did.

3rd new ram pickup. 1st full size. 2014 LoneStar 4x4. White crew cab. Others were Dakota Laramie's. Quad cabs. Major issues with both trannys so I moved up to this one. Other than poor navigation updates and 2 rear wheel bearings that exploded at 7,000 miles I'm very pleased oh... Except heated seats suck. Can't seem to get a Dodge dealer to fix them. Tried 4. All say the work but then I show them what they are doing and the scratch their heads. All Dodge service centers get a 2 on a 10 scale from me. GM has best service hands down but you pay for it. GM trucks cost $8000.00 more for same type truck. GM service gets a 10+. If you don't mind arguing with a Dodge service manager then you'll have no issues I guess. Just try to contact your local Dodge rep. Ha ha. Good frickin luck. Ain't happening ever !!!! Make damn sure you buy the CHRYSLER only extended Warranty. APex warranty sucks. No renter car coverage for minor repairs. Hope you have a spare vehicle or a ride. GM will provide you a ride or car or whatever you want and always deliver your vehicle back you un detailed. Dodge service will deliver it back with added filth on your interior. David from Ft Worth Texas.

So I don’t know if I just bought a lemon or what but this was the worst truck I have ever owned. 14’ Ram Crew Cab short bed with the 3.0 EcoDiesel with 86k miles. It got WAY worst fuel economy than they said it would and it was a dog! I don’t need a ultra-powerful truck, but I bought this for its ability to tow and it’s great fuel economy... it was horrible! At best I was averaging 17mpg Highway and 15 around town. Towing a small two place snowmobile trailer from Michigan to Colorado and back only averaged 14mpg! I could get that with ANY modern truck! Instead I was paying a .40-.50 cents extra a gallon for diesel fuel and still getting crappy fuel economy! Oh and don’t think for a second that you can tow over 70 mph... if you kick it to 75mph the thing won’t ever see 8th gear and you can count on the fuel economy dropping to 12- mpg . You throw this in with the fact that I had to take it to a dealership THREE times in the few weeks I owned it for stupid little crap that a normal truck would not even have a problem with... it was just too much. Don’t believe the hype. The truck it nice but this setup needs a lot of refining before I will ever try the Fiat diesel again. And just so you know that I am not just a Ram hater... I ended up getting the HEMI version of the exact same truck (2018) and I LOVE it! I’m 20 mpg on the highway and 17 in town. I haven’t towed with it yet but even if it is the same as the EcoDiesel I will be happy because I am still spending less on the cost of the fuel AND I have had NO problems with the truck. I truly hope other people have better luck with this power train but for me... I hated every money sucking minute of owning that truck. Oh yeah and if your wondering why this review is for the 3.0 EcoDiesel but the listing that I put in is for the 3.6 gas motor, it is because Edmunds did not have an option to select the 3.0 in the drop down menu for the 2014 truck. 2021 update… yup… still have the Hemi brother of this truck and everything in my first review still holds true. I love the gas version of the 1500 but I would not recommend the 3.0 Diesel version to anyone.

Aside from this whistling noise that sometimes appears in the lower right corner of the windshield it is a great truck - I bought it about a year ago agreat pulling power smooth still fits my hunting crew comfortably. Back up camera went out tried to replace it plus the harness but it didn't work so my ram has started to fall apart a bit there and there.
