Ram 1500 Laramie 3.6L Gas V-6
Nicholas H, Cleveland, OH, 03/28/2016
2016 Ram 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 5.6 ft SB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
Many reviews on this site for either the 5.7 V-8 or the 3.0L diesel. My truck has the 3.6L gas motor. While it is not a sports car I find the power to be good for daily driving and have no issues passing or merging into busy rush hour traffic. The V-6 is quiet and has a nice growl to it when the pedal is pressed to the floor. For the savings ($1200 less than the Hemi plus $1000 … additional rebate) I am happy I went with the Pentastar. With the 3.55 rear end I can still tow 7000 pounds and I am getting 20-21 MPG in mostly highway driving.
The RAM is the most comfortable full size pickup on the market in my opinion, although I am disappointed in the lack of some safety features like front crash mitigation and blind spot monitoring. The Unconnect system is hands down the best infotainment system on the market including luxury manufacturers.
Virginia Beach Pentastar Laramie
Brent, Virginia Beach, VA, 04/02/2016
2016 Ram 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 5.6 ft SB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
6 years and 100,000+ miles - I do all routine maintenance as well as some preventative maintenance for longevity - and the truck still looks very new inside and out. A couple of negatives have occurred. I had to do an expensive ($3800) rocker, lifter, camm replacement project at 106,000 miles. Also, in the last couple of years, the transmission has at times been reluctant to … downshift, which results in a little lugging in some situations. Overall, I am still very happy with it. I still love driving it, and am hoping to get up to 200,000 miles and beyond.
Diesel is a piece of crap

Well, just bought a used diesel 42,000 miles. The EGR is some engineer's idea of tree hugging mechanics which malfunctions on EVERY truck eventually. So, DON'T think you are going to be lucky! You won't! And, the dealer will absolutely dodge the issue and lie to you until your warranty is exhausted. Sickening!

2016 Ram 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 5.6 ft SB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
check out the options -- 2 different transmission, 3 different gear ratios, etc
drove it down to florida from lansing Michigan. great ride wasn't tired, or stiff from sitting so long.
several times I logged 34 MPG on the highway.
now I have 9200 miles on truck owned it since august 2016 -- getting 26 mpg around town and over 30 on highway.
its still a great ride.
hauled several john … deere tractors to bama and a Kubota. amazing you don't even know your towing - plenty of power.
