After owning a 2009, 2011, 2012 2013 and a 2015 Ram I bought the new 2016 Ram regular cab with Tradesman trim. Regular cabs are not common in my area and I had to look about 60 miles North to find this truck which was equipped just the way I wanted with Chrome bumpers, spray in bedliner, backup camera, and the 5.0 radio upgrade. All this for under 25k. This truck in Granite metallic has the 6cyl engine which provides a lot of power but has a HWY mileage rating at 25mpg. I am keeping this one folks its a great buy and the ride is much better than the 2015 Ford F150 XLT I sold which paid for my brand new Ram. Very quiet cabin with muscular looks on the outside. If you can get a better deal than this go for it. As of 8/2018 I have had no issues with the truck however there is an outstanding recall . My local dealer will be fixing this issue within 2 weeks. *** UPDATE*** Thanks to a chip shortage and the 2016 RAM holding its value, I was able to sell the 2016 RAM for 500 dollars more than I paid for it in 2016!! I took the proceeds and bought a shiny new 2021 Ram Tradesman quad cab with the SXT package for a great price. Still couldn't be more pleased. 2022 update: Ive installed LED Lights in the headlight assemblies, a pair of nerf bars, inside LED lighting and a tailgate dampener and bull ring hold downs

Loving my Ram Truck. Put 25000 miles on. Great power with 5.7 engine. Super comfortable. Wish combined mileage of 17 mpg was better. Liked so much I traded last month for new 2019 Ram 1500. Great rebate on it since 2020s on the lot.

Edmunds coupon saved me $2500. Good value. Wish they had more dealers involved in the program.

Overall I'm happy with this truck. I was having tons of issues with my 2007 F-150 extended cab. I went with the quad cab because it is big enough for my kids. I love the sound and the acceleration of the HEMI. I went with the tradesman/express because of cost I wanted a nice looking truck at a reasonable cost, my biggest complaint so far is that I cannot turn on the interior light without opening a door. The ride is great much smoother than my old ford, not sure if that is the different suspension on the Ram or it just being 9 years newer than my old truck.
