It is an awesome truck, Very tough and reliable. Luxury and comfort is a plus. I traded in my 2016 tacoma because it lacked refinement in every single aspect. I'm very glad I bought this truck even though its got over a thousand miles I have really enjoyed my purchased.

CONS: 2016 Ram. $50,000. Headlights are so dim they are dangerous. Had to add after-market driving lights= $500.. Terrible wind noise at freeway speeds. Very annoying! Voice txt option never works! Gas mileage is terrible...16.2 on freeway and overall is 13.5. PROS: Never had to take back for recall or repair!! Lots of power. Good handling. This truck is a Rebel so its its rather stiff ride but, I drove a Limited model and it rode great!! Will look at other than REBEL model next time. Traded it on a GMC Denali

Dealer and fca couldn't find the problem with check engine light, just guessing on changing parts, they had the truck for 4.5 months, finally got them to buy it back, had a very hard time with them for 9 months 100's of papers and a thousand of phn calls. Never dodge again even if they gave me the best dodge for free I'll not take it. Bad vehicles in anyway u look at. Don't recommend. ..end

Jersey Truck Girl likes the Ram Limited

Just got the Ram Longhorn Limited v8 Hemi with air suspension and all the bells and whistles. I'm a female owner who enjoys driving pick-ups and large SUVs, and looking really cool in them! So I decided to buy this truck, because I got a good deal on it. The rebates/incentives were great and the dealership wanted to move these trucks off their lot. So, instead of buying another SUV or truck, I decided I'll go with the Ram Limited.<br><u>What I love:</u> It has way more features than I could afford in any other comparable vehicle at that price point. It is luxurious inside. I love the technology -- front and back sensors, back up camera, air suspension, navigation, the touch screen system that controls everything is pretty much the best I have ever used. I also love the rotary shifter, power adjustable pedals, heated and cooled seats, push-button start. The detailing, stitching etc inside is simply awesome. The ride is relatively smooth and it handles awful potholed roads quite well.<br><u>What's missing:</u> Daytime running lights! Why can't they put in some cool-looking LED DRLs on a $57,390 MSRP vehicle? Also, missing is a front camera, capless fuel door, xenon headlights, and a soft opening/closing power tailgate that a woman can easily use. It does need more sound insulation, because the wind noise does get into the cabin. The fit and finish needs to be improved, especially with rubber seals and other exterior trim. The truck is a gas guzzler, that's no surprise, but they need to do what Ford did and go aluminium.

Hope you like replacing brakes every 17,000 miles!! I never had an issue with my Chevy but this thing sucks! Oh and ram and your dealer will tell you to pound sand they won't do anything but charge you full rate.
