So far...I really like it!

2015 Ram 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.3 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
I bought a new 2015 Laramie 1500 4x4 in June. So far it has met and even exceeded most of my expectations. I traded in my beloved 2006 Toyota Tundra 4x4, however I didn't know what I was missing. The Laramie, for being a good sized truck drives extremely easy...its crazy. The interior is well designed and easy to use. The Uconnect system is one of the easiest systems I have ever … used. Everything from the GPS, Bluetooth, air conditioned/heated seats and setting up internet in the truck is simple. The Alpine system puts out incredible sound and the speakers in the ceiling is just cool in my opinion.
The 5.7 Hemi, 8 speed transmission w/ 321 gears...is also one of my favorite features. The truck has a lot of power! I have averaged from day one--17 MPG. I have seen as high as 22.7 on the highway and as low as 14 pulling my boat. My Toyota never saw over 19 MPG and it's 800 lbs lighter and had 125 less HP. So I am very happy with the Laramie's mileage. Hopefully as it breaks in even more, I will see a little higher MPG. But, fair warning...the motor puts out 495 hp. If your heavy in the gas, your mileage will suffer. I have experienced that when my wife drives haha.
The only item I have had trouble with in the keyless key FOB. On occasion, I have had my key FOB on me while I'm in the truck...but the truck didn't pick it up, which meant the truck wouldn't start. My truck starts with a push button, not an actual key. So I had to get out of the truck, lock and unlock it, then I got back in and it started. Yes, that will irritate you. That's my only complaint.
I am experimenting with a KN filter right now, to see if it helps or hurts my mileage. I will post later what my results are. I have heard it both ways 1) that it helped 2) that it hurt your mileage. So after a few road trips using both (stock filter or KN)...I will have some actual data to share.
My truck is a Cowboy Cadallic. Dodge really did it right this time. I am extremely pleased with it...
FANTASTIC TRUCK

2015 Ram 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.3 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
I now have 57000 miles on my 2015 ram laramie 1500 4wd crew cab. In the 4.5 years I have owned it, the only thing needed other than normal maintenance has been a new switch for the cruise control, and a software upgrade for the Uconnect system,(which is fantastic). IT IS THE MOST TROUBLE FREE TRUCK I HAVE EVER OWNED!
When it was new, it came with 20" wheels. I can't imagine why anyone … needs 20" wheels on a truck! Unfortunately, they were shod with Goodyear Wranglers, which are junk!
I sold them and found some nice oem 17" wheels, and put on Michelin LTX tires. Huge improvement in ride comfort!
I added navigation to my Uconnect system. It works extremely well, and the entire system is very intuitive to use (I am 63 and hate most of the new electronics).
Great Truck to Own

2015 Ram 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 4WD 6.3 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)
I have had my 2015 Ram Laramie 4x4 5.7 Hemi truck for 3.5 years. I recently replaced the brakes after 75,000 miles. I have had no other trouble with the vehicle other than a tailgate issue early on that the dealer fixed. I am getting great hwy mpg as I travel a lot for work across Co, Wy and Ne. I recently put the truck up for sale and it was sold within 2 days at KBB pricing. I … purchased a 2018 Ram Laramie with the eco diesel engine, that I will pick up next week. It would be hard for me to switch to any other truck considering the success I have had with this one. I have owned a Toy Tundra that was fine other than the interior is a little uncomfortable. I had a brand new Chevy 1500 Silverado Z71 4x4 which I wanted to get rid of within 6 months because of the internal rattles and noise. I have owned a used 2007 Ford F 250 Diesel Crew which I enjoyed other than the lack of interior features and comfort. I really liked the 2019 Rams but had to take advantage of the pricing on the 2018 eco diesels still available.
