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.

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.

2017 Ram 1500 Longhorn 4dr Crew Cab 5.6 ft SB (5.7L 8cyl 8A)

For years I missed my 1999 Silverado extended cab 4x4 even though I went through a series of BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, Acura and Infinity. I had some great cars but living in North Texas with the traffic here, I always felt like a little guy amid giants. I would arrive white knuckled and tense. Now, the ride is great, the leather very nice, the amenities are great and I feel relaxed and comfortable at the end of my drive. Bonus is I can carry stuff and have a ridiculous amount of storage with the Ramboxes and tonneau cover. With the 4 corner air suspension, it has a great drive. I'm all over this thing. It was expensive, but it was worth it. UPDATE: After two years of owning this truck nothing has changed. I love it. My only regret is that my garage won't hold it and I wind up bringing it in as far as I can and throw a moving blanket over the tailgate during severe storms. But that's it. I added a Pedal Commander as the only performance enhancer. It does help the "lag" you feel when pushing the accelerator and has several levels to choose from. I've actually thought about upgrading next year to another Laramie-Longhorn but I am not sure I can part with this one!

Internet is your best tool

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.
