This truck is amazingly comfortable. Room for six adults to ride comfortably and plenty of room in the bed for gear. V6 engine is powerful and economical. Interior is excellent and ride comfort is fantastic. The price of this truck beat the competition big time. I recently bought a 2017 Ram 1500 express crew cab with the Pentastar V6 engine and I couldn't be happier. Power is awesome and fuel economy is fantastic for such a large and powerful vehicle. I previously owned a 2003 Ram 1500 with the 5.7 hemi and I never had a single problem with it so that was a huge factor in deciding to buy another Ram. So far I have not been disappointed. In my opinion the Ram is the nicest looking full size pickup out there. Once I put an ARE topper on this truck it will be the perfect all around vehicle. More room than an SUV with plenty of room for six adults to ride comfortably plus all that cargo space in the back. The only other pickup I considered was the Ford F150 but the Ram blew it away in terms of pricing, towing capacity and fuel economy. If you're looking to buy a new full size pickup, I highly recommend looking at RAM. I've had this truck over a year and a half now and still could not be happier with my decision to buy another Ram. We took it on a long trip with four adults and a dog, towing a trailer with kayaks, bikes and just about everything else you could need for a week in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas. Beautiful ride, great fuel economy, and a great sound system made for a very enjoyable trip.

The internet is your most valuable tool in searching for a new vehicle. All the necessary information you need in selecting the best vehicle for your needs at the best price is there and there are a lot of tips in how to deal with the buying process. Once you narrowed down the make, model, and features you want, send an email to dealers internet manager and let them find your vehicle. Avoid high pressure salesman by dealing only with the internet manager. The finance manager is the most aggressive person you will have to deal with and you should verify everything they tell you. If they tell you something that is different then what your internet research said, ask them to explain the difference and if they object, ask to talk to the general sales manager. I used OneNote to document my research. Mostly happy with the truck after 1 year. Hate the black interior in Texas. Would rather use my Garmin for directions that Ram navigation (nothing great). Those are the only 2 things I would change on the truck if I could.

Got a great deal on this 2018, but the third day I owned this truck, the transmission stopped working. Took it in to have it fixed. After over 3 weeks and several tries, they finally put in a new transmission. Have since traded it. Would not buy again.

2017 Ram 1500 Laramie 4dr Crew Cab 6.3 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

I've been in the construction industry for decades, I've personally owned over 22 trucks in my lifetime (not including company purchases -fleet) most of my trucks being Ford and a few GM products. In 2002 I purchased my first Ram it was 2500 with a Cummins engine, I must have owned 5 of them and I like them. In 2013 I tried the Ram 5.7 Hemi and fell completely in love with it and have had another 3, one which I'm still driving. Its a great ride, I'm very happy with the power and gas mileage, handling and looks. It pulls my 22' boat with no problem. I can't say enough good about this truck. All the trucks out there are good, pick the one you like, but based on my experience you can't go wrong with the Ram with the powerful, fuel efficient 5.7 Hemi.
Still hooked on Ram.

2017 Ram 1500 Tradesman 2dr Regular Cab LB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

This is my third Ram. I've owned a 1996, a 2007, and now a 2017 and they just keep getting better. The Tradesman is a high quality, yet basic truck, with enough options available to dress it up at a reasonable price. And the 3.6L V6 is powerful while also being economical - it tows my 2000 pound ski boat with ease.
