I just upgraded from a Toyota Tacoma, and I love this truck. It's like riding in a luxury car with all the amenities, but it's still a truck. I can't wait to start hauling and towing stuff. I love this truck!

Drove my 2014 for 5 years. Had about 80k miles. Transmission and engine issues. Tons of recall. Also i had multiple issues with Ac. I don't usually write reviews. But after seeing that this piece of junk has almost 4 stars. I had to say something. The only positive is that it looks good. Maybe the best looking truck. But FCA is known for having a bad reputation for reliability. Do some research before buying one.

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.

My truck ran well until 100 k, than one day the timing chain slipped and blew my engine , how does a chain slip? Ram Headquarter says it's normal. $10,500 seem normal? I will never support this brand again and suggest you research other truck brands that have better support from the manufacturer

Update-Update: they are still using the same transmission in the 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 & 2024 Ram 1500. If you plan on owning your Ram 1500 for a long time, this is NOT your truck. I purchased my 2014 Ram 1500 Sport 4x4, new, in July 2014. I loved the truck for four years until this week. Before I tell you why I don't think you should buy it, I'll tell you why I did buy it. The styling was awesome, the power of the 5.7L Hemi was great, the fit & finish were good. For 160K miles, the only problems I had were a wheel bearing (normal for it to wear out after about 120K miles) and a water pump, which broke after about 140K miles. Everything else was normal maintenance. All work was performed at the dealership. As I approached 100K miles, I asked about servicing the transmission. I wanted to replace the transmission fluid and clean the filters. I was told, "the 8-speed transmission is a sealed unit. You cannot service the transmission." I was shocked, but reassured that it would be ok. Well, it turned out to be a big, $5600 problem for me. At 161K miles, I was told that I needed a brand new transmission. The torque converter was malfunctioning, but you can't replace it separately. You have to replace the entire transmission. I drive a lot. I'm just driving from one end of the state to the other, cruise control on. No towing, nothing putting any undue stress on the transmission. My last truck was a 2007 Toyota Tundra 4x4. Lasted for 300K miles and I still sold it for $11K. If you want long-term reliability, get a Tundra. If you plan on trading your truck in every 100K miles, it’s a nice truck. If you plan on driving it longer, buy a Toyota. Ram trucks are not designed to last for the long haul. I think it's funny that this review has gotten so many down votes. Something tells me Ram is trying to keep its readership down.
