Much cheaper alternative than all other full size trucks. I have the crew cab 4wd with the 3.6 and it does well. If someone only pulls 5k or less it's all the truck you need and allows you to equip it well for the $

I replaced a 1998.5 Dodge Ram Xtra Cab (5.9 liter Cummins Diesel engine) with a new 2017 Ram Laramie Crew Cab 4X4 “long bed” with the 5.7 liter Hemi engine. I had been towing a new 27 foot, 7K lb travel trailer (not fifth wheel) with the Cummins, and had real concerns about the Hemi being able to do the job. I was assured by the dealer that I would have no problems, and aside from needing an airbag system for the rear of the 2017, towing has been a breeze. The Hemi with the eight-speed transmission is significantly smoother than the Cummins, and that goes all the way back to 2002 when my wife bought the Diesel. When not towing, this truck rides as nice as my wife’s Lexus and has both more interior room and a superior 9-speaker sound system. The reliability for the first 14 months has been near flawless. I would recommend this truck to anyone who needs a light-duty full-size pickup. I compared Ford, Chevy and Toyota and the clincher was the drivetrain of the Hemi. The Hemi V8 dual-exhaust system is a throwback to the 1960’s when trucks sounded more “manly”.

Car-like ride and decent seats

For a 4x4, the RAM does a good job insulating occupants from the harshness of the road. Road noise is pretty well suppressed as well. Seats are larger and feel softer and better padded than the Ford F-150 or Toyota Tundra. Engine and transmission feel responsive and refined. Of all the full size pickups I think the RAM 1500 is the most car-like and comfortable.
