LOVE MY TRUCK

Got this three months ago and already have 6,000 miles. The shift does suck, I think a knob is no fit for a truck and Dodge needs to bring back the Colum shifter. I work for Toyota building the Tundra's and Tocoma's and this is the truck I would rather drive. For the price, I could but two Ram 1500's for the price of 1 Tundra. My truck has the V6 but the pickup power is unbelievable. Drives smooth and has lots of power. After the first month my mother went and got one for her self. We are a Dodge family!

Ram Tough

Owned a 2005 1500, liked so much bought a 2010. Why not buy a 2016 SLT quad 1500. Great truck. Drives like a car. Love it. Will but another in a few years. Have owned Ford and Chevy. No comparison. Ram tough.

First truck owned, very happy with the change

I've always been a car guy but I live in a huge city with crappy roads and even worse drivers and a mediocre public transit system. Sitting up high with a suspension that can handle mute the cracks and bumps is really nice. I like sitting up high and i'm impressed by the outward visibility in my truck even versus my '08 Altima (which also was very good). The fuel economy is less than advertised but still ok for a full-sized truck. I will probably upgrade the intake and exhaust system after a year or so, just to see what difference it makes. The interior is impressive and the infotainment system (UConnect) is really cool, very intuitive to use. The only things I didn't get that I wanted were keyless ignition (I had that on my 8-yr old Altima) and blind spot monitors. Other than that I'm really happy with my purchase and got a great deal on the Lone Star package (almost $10k under MSRP).

Love my Rebel

Too early to comment on reliability but after a month there are no issues. Buying experience was fairly pleasant thanks to the Edmunds price quotes; I'd never walk into a dealer again with out them. The Rebel took a bit to get used to driving as I went from an Acura RL but now I enjoy the ride.

4th Dodge truck - Still like them

I am on my 4th Dodge Ram and they just keep getting better. The outside appearance has not changed much from my 2010 model, but the inside instrumentation is quite different and improved. The 5.7L V8 is significantly more powerful, but mileage appears to be slightly better than what I got in the smaller 4.7L V8 on my 2010.
