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

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.

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.

Ripped off by dealer on upholstery color and then 3rd party after-market replacement used. Start/stop button stuck (can't start engine). Driver visor won't stay up. Center console lid won't latch. Rear passenger window won't roll up. Paint peeling on lower body seam under driver door. Rack & pinion stripped gears. Rear diff pinion seal leaking. Radio acts up when hot. Driver door lock button requires multiple presses to work. Alignment off, found rear axle thrust angle is off (meaning rear axle is mounted crooked) with no adjustment points to correct. Dealer where purchased refuses to fix. Ram refuses to buy back or repair the issues. Still under factory warranty but can't get repaired.

Be sure you shop several dealerships to find your truck. This truck has it all: horsepower, agility, economical, smooth ride, easy access/exit (with added 5” step bars), quality interior, and sooooo much storage space! Get ready to fall in love with the Ram Laramie 1500.
