Happy Ram Owner
We are happy with our truck. Will go for the quad cab next time, though, for family comfort-we were in a mini van. LOL !. Awesome truck

3.0L turbo diesel cost more than Hemi gas, but 28 mpg on full size crew cab worth it. Hoblit in Woodland best selection and sales staff quick and knowledgeable Patriot (MAGA) Blue with beige vented leather Bench seats 6. zero percent unemployment, big pharma, tax reform, did more in 4 years, than joe in 4 decades.

Nice comfortable reliable truck so far
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.

Rented Then Bought One - Love It!
I had a prior review for a 2017 rental that was generally positive. By chance I found a prior rental (2017) on craigslist with 12K miles and bought it. Same exact color (red). I love this thing! The gas mileage averages over 20 with mostly town driving (better than my Cadillac). It was easy to get the USB drive interface working. Lucked out and got one with the upgraded gauge cluster (highly recommend). The ride is very smooth and quiet - comparable to my Cadillac. Love the height. Voice command not that great, but the phone and USB interfaces more than compensate. The V6 is more than adequate. The only con is that it's a little tough to park and fit in the garage, but you have to expect that with a full-size truck. Glad I bought the Quad Cab instead of the Crew with the long bed (now that's a battleship!). The 5' 7" bed normally found on the Crew Cabs is just too short. Better to trade back seat space for bed space. A very attractive and practical all-around vehicle. Thinking of buying a Laramie and selling my other cars. The radio that turns on every time you start is annoying but I just learned to turn the volume all the way down instead. Test drove several V8 Laramies and didn't like the engine as much (plus MUCH worse mileage). Almost impossible to find a V6 Laramie. Owned it 7 months now - zero problems. Still highly recommend. My favorite vehicle out there. Update after one year @ 23,000 miles: Still no problems! My favorite vehicle by far. Very comfortable seats and super smooth ride. Paint looks as good as ever. Upholstery still in excellent shape. We live where it's muddy, so I bought rubber floor mats. Highly recommend the V6 quad cab.

My 2nd Dodge Ram 1500
In 2008 I bought my first Ram 1500 trademan, and as with anything if you maintain it...things will not break. I change my oil every 6000 miles with synthetic oil. I change rear end oil every 30000 miles. I change my transmission oil every 60000 miles. I haven't had an issue. In 2017 I was so impressed by my Ram that I bought another one. I bought a 2017 Ram 1500 V8 5.7L and this one makes by 2008 look like crap....I am hoping if I take care of it like I did my 2008 it will be just as reliable. My 2008 has 130000 miles on it and still drives like new.
