2017 Ram 1500 Tradesman 2dr Regular Cab LB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
6 of 7 people found this review helpful
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.

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.

I have had this truck for a month. I test drove it a couple of times. I switched up from an '03 GMC. There is a world of difference, and this Ram is in a different solar system then the old trucks, it rides better than most cars I've owned, lane changes are great, the V6 with the 8 speed is amazing, very road travel friendly! Seats are for a little skinnier person than I am, I'm a 6'1" 260lb furniture mover, but aside from my issue of being wider than the seat by an inch, they cup and hold me in great. My complaints are the quality control, or lack thereof. There is a sandy substance UNDERNEATH the paint in the door jambs of the front passenger and driver side rear door, right where you see it every time you open the door. There is what may be a small fuzz ball stuck UNDER THE PAINT on the bed side. The "cup", which is the little plastic area behind the door handle, doesn't fit in the top correctly on the passenger side, I fiddled and fixed the front passenger door, but the rear door has a sold 1/4" gap all across the top. STAY AT A COMPLETE STOP while changing gears, if you don't, the lights flash on the dash and on the rotor gear selector (which is in a terrible place, considering all I do is turn my fan speed up and down instead of getting into Drive or Park) until you stop again. Kind of annoying. While on the transmission, if you're not at a dead stop, the transmission feels like its fluttering a little while it's engaging from Park to Drive, but if you're on the brakes until it's engaged, you'll not notice. The truck really is great, but the quality control must've been off the day this one was built, and the rotory knob is weird. The stereo however, is nothing short of amazing. If the window is half up(or down for you pessimists), they rattle with bass, and I've got the bass on 3, and the volume on 20. The thing rocks. Gas mileage has been between 22 and 22.6 on the highway, and pretty solid average of 13.8 in town, a little town, lots of stop and go, like every 300ft. Our city blocks are small. Really like the display in the dash, kind of like the stereo display, but I got the little one, the bigger one may be better, but I'm pretty satisfied, aside of the fact I bought the cheapest one and it's still 40k, for that price, I'd prefer more quality.

2017 Ram 1500 Tradesman 2dr Regular Cab SB (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
5 of 6 people found this review helpful
Has spray in bed liner from factory no extra charge, has cruise control standard at no extra charge! Rubber floors and plenty of room behind the seats. Very fast for a 6 with 300 plus horsepower! If I drive my truck easy I can get 30 plus mpgs driving back roads around 55 mph. I drove from Jacksonville to DeLand about two hours away hauling a 700lbs utility trailer on back roads and averaged 26mpg. Not bad! I drove a fully loaded trailer 2500lbs around town in heavy traffic and averaged 18mpg for the entire tank. I always use synthetic oil and a synthetic filter. Update: I traded my 17 Ram 1500 for an all new 2019 Ram 1500 and that was a big mistake. The all new Ram 1500 is a lemon. Only had the new truck for one year and had to get a classic 2020 Ram 1500. I needed a reliable truck for work. Oh well, the new Ram looks nice just is a pile of junk underneath.

its a real good comfortable truck that has good pickup . Had a few issues when it was newer but all the little things got fixed under warranty finally after taking it to the dealer who didn’t want to fix anything on the first try. But I put a 4 inch read lift kit with new upper control arms and new bilstien shocks and struts and 35 inch Mickey Thompson tires and it still rides just as good as factory or actually better.
