After owning this truck for 6 mo. I have learned even more, but my comparison is based on my 2006 Nissan Titan and previous F-150. The comfort of this truck is excellent the cab is quiet but I think RAM could do even better. Acceleration is also excellent in fact on dirt roads it is so good it is hard to keep traction. Fuel economy is good about 14-16 combined at 80 mph, just wish the big 3 would do better, and the warranty is ok but I think they could also do better like the new Nissan or better yet offer a warranty like Hyundai 100k and 10 years, their sales would sky rocket. Now for the not so good. Working with the dealership is so difficult, never had a problem working with a dealership like I do with RAM, my front parking sensor went out and the dealer charged me to have it fixed, they said it was a natural cause not mechanical. The lights flicker at night, the dealer said they did a firmware updated but it still does it, and now the cruise control will not activate sometimes. The fog lamps bounce at night this is because of the poor way they are mounted. I drive on a lot if dirt roads and the dust in the cabin is ridiculous. I later found out there is no cabin filter, how cheap. I found a kit on-line, installed it and it helped but still a lot of dust, this truck is advertised to be the do all truck but if you live in an agriculture area which is hard not to, it will be a big issue. In fact I may not purchase another RAM because if this issue, very hard driving down the road with a lot of dust in the cabin and kids having problems breathing. My Nissan and F-150 never had this issue. Looking for another truck and will have to consider all brands since this one does wow me yet. -- I am also a 2006 Nissan Titan owner and I will have to say that back in 2006 there were more luxury options than on trucks today. here are the things I had to but for the Ram that the Titan came stock with: MUD FLAPS, SPRAYED BED LINER, ADJUSTABLE TIE-DOWNS IN THE BED, BUILT IN TOOL BOX, SLOW OPENING TAIL GATE, NERF BARS, HEAVY DUTY FLOOR MATS. These are things trucks should come with from the factory. On the interior the Titan also blows the Ram away with toys from 10 years ago that should still be on todays trucks. The ride on the Ram is very nice but they put car tires on them to give a quiet and smooth ride and by the way the tires only last about 13K miles. I do not use the bluetooth because there is no option to use my headset or speaker phone in the truck, don't understand why car manufactures are not smart enough to create this feature, who wants speaker phone on their private calls when there are other people in the vehicle. The Ram has great power and tows good, overall I am happy so far with it but very disappointed in the way they make it look good. If a person never owned a truck and purchased one today they wouldn't know what they are missing, but i do.

No problems or complaints the first 3 weeks of owning this vehicle. Does everything it should and all that I expect from this type of vehicle. I am hoping this will continue and time will tell. Love the smooth acceleration, comfortable seating, a whole array of technology to simplify the most basic of tasks. Overall a great looking, sounding, and running truck.

2016 Ram 1500 Lone Star 4dr Crew Cab 6.3 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

This is the 2nd RAM 1500 I've owned, (2009 Quad Cab, SLT, 4.7L-V8, 2WD; 2016 Crew Cab, Lone Star, 5.7L-V8, 2WD). I decided to stick with the RAM for the ride quality, quietness, features for the money, and Hemi V8 performance. I have about 3,000 miles on it and I'm getting 2+ more MPG on the same commuter route, (as long as drive normal). However, i don't hesitate to pass because the acceleration is much better than my old 2009. I haven't taken on a real highway trip yet but 2014 loaner with the same power train setup delivered 23.2 MPG on an 1,000+ miles round trip, (at 70-75mph, with AC, in Texas). I fully expect this Hemi V8 will get the same MPG. . . . . UPDATE: I've owned my 2016 Ram 1500 for over 2 years so I have about 17,000 miles of driving experiences to summarize. The max I've towed is about 6,000 lbs plus 1500 lbs in the bed & there was always plenty acceleration available (in TOW/HAUL mode, with the 3.21 gear axle). Without a load, acceleration is very peppy in TOW/HAUL mode which I often use on the city freeways. Fuel economy is about what I expected (as indicated above). I get about 19 mpg on a mostly freeway commute, 16 mpg around town, & 23 mpg hwy. The vehicle is completely reliable, only recall updates. I've driven the 2019 Ram 1500 Laramie and it is more plush. . . UPDATE (Dec. 2019): miles 28,500, mpg hwy 21-24, no maintenance issues, better (Michelin) tires. Plan to keep it at least 3-more years. Still a great & comfortable hauler.. . . . . No real changes regarding performance & MPG above-mentioned. Issues encountered: backup camera replacement & software update for Uconnect. I'm still have an extended warranty. If I replace this truck (after the warranty), it'll be the hybrid or the diesel.
