I was upside down on my trade in. I was told , I need to buy new and no regrets. Truck looks good and rides good. I am very happy with my truck. This truck is 5.7 V8 express quad cab. I could not find the box to check it. If it looks great and give an excellent ride? It is grea truck! I test drove an F150 and was no impressed. Ram was much better.

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).

2016 Ram Rebel 5.7L Hemi 4WD

2016 Ram 1500 Rebel 4dr Crew Cab 5.6 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

The MPG on the Rebel is quite low. Only problem I can find with this truck. I'm averaging 14.5 combined right now. Everything else about the truck is fantastic. It is the best ruck I ever owned. I love the interior quality and the ride comfort the most! Oh and the Alpine sound system upgrade is totally worth the extra $300. It a must have if you listen to music in the car.

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.
