I've had the truck for a month or so & love it -- great power and acceleration, good fuel economy, plus a comfortable ride -- all at a good price. I added a spray in bed liner, a tonneau roll cover, fender flares, and custom fit floor mats, all from third party vendors. I also had the oem electric trailer brake installed by the dealer, but haven't towed anything yet. The only critical feedback I have is relatively minor -- the AC required work prior to accepting the truck; a couple scratches on the passenger side door also had to be repaired. These items could suggest that the dealer needs to step up their pre sale inspection process. The shift knob on the dash gives more space on the counsel which is great. However, I find the steering wheel upshift/downshift shift control cumbersome. For example, to down shift you push a button on the front of the steering wheel -- given the other steering wheel controls I find myself hunting for that button. (Other vehicles put the steering wheel shift controller behind the wheel as paddles which I find much more intuitive.) I want to install a grill guard / winch system but the Sport model bumper interferes with the after market grill guards I've been looking at. So if that's important to you, consider getting one of the other trim lines that has tow hooks on it. Overall, I'm very pleased and would buy the truck again.

The ignition key is a joke its bulky ugly and reliablity of this key is questionable. Rotary shift is ok but would prefer a lever some oy the interior parts are cheap,howevever,this truck is the bottom line tradesman so I guess it is accetable even though it has the upgraded interior all other features are acceptable except for th location port for the thumb drive. I find the AC, and entertainment center very good.

I got this truck new off the lot and the only issue I've had is with the low fuel sensor other than that regular maintenance I tow regularly probably heavier than I should no issues running at 80,000 now and looking to get another ram!!!! Very impressed!

I've had this truck since 35 thousand miles it's got a little over fifty thousand now.plenty of power with 5.7 hemi.i can't get the cruise control to work since I have had it told dealship they fixed it worked a little while but not working again.would give better rating if not for that.went to select trim level didn't see 5.7 option on her so selected what was closest to mine.update the cruise control works but you have to slap steering wheel where button is located.i have 73 thousand miles now.it has started what I assume is the manifold bolts rusting out I thought it was a lifter tap but after some research I believe it's the manifold bolts shearing off or rusting out causing the heat shield to vibrate when cold.overall still decent truck

I got the tradesman so I could only add the things I wanted and save money without electric windows so I can still roll them up or down with the power out. Kind of important when your stranded and have to walk out or leave the truck. So no power windows. They should really pay more attention to this. Add a emergency crank that's easy and built-in so it doesn't get lost. Anyway, great truck. I use it mainly for a truck not just driving around town. Works hard like a truck should but a smooth quite comfortable ride. Great Truck but needs attention to waterproofing the transmission, PCM & fuse box. Driving through water up to the floorboards should not cause any issues with a truck!
