Best truck I've ever owned

The ride is by far smoother than any other truck. I love the air suspension and how it lowers on its own when you hit 60 to help with gas mileage. I can lower it so my wife's Mom can get in more easily. The ride is something that I just can't get over. There really isn't anything that I don't like about this truck. Ford and Chevy make nice trucks, but they don't ride near as smooth as the Ram. You can also raise it up two levels to take it off road. I can't seeing ever buying any other truck but a Ram.

Prior to this truck I had a 2005 Ram 1500 Quad Cab with the 4.7 L v8. Truck was nice but the 4.7L could not pull hard when you needed it to. I got the itch for a Charger and got the R/T with the Hemi. Great car, had it for 10 years with no issues. I got the itch again for a truck and got the Ram 1500 with Hemi and the 8 speed tranny. Man what a great riding truck and the Hemi pulls like a freight train in stock form. I can't imagine how it would pull if I tweaked the engine with a tuner , added exhaust and cold air intake.... I promised the wife I would leave it stock.. :) Anyway, the new suspension is leaps and bounds smoother than the old rear leaf spring suspensions of the older Rams and what Ford and Chevy are using today. I went with the Express package because I did not want all the electronics, which if there is a gremlin down the road can cost a pretty penny to fix, but I will say the Big Horn version is pretty nice. The sound system is excellent and the lighting is adequate. Crew cab is the way to go if you want enormous cabin space to keep full size adults in perfect comfort and the quiet cabin is a bonus. The cabin does allow you to hear the sweet music the Hemi produces when you lay into the throttle. Overall I absolutely love this truck and would recommend it to anyone. UPDATE: I have a little over 10,0000 miles on the RAM now and she runs like a dream. No issues at all, shifts smooth and runs with power. Only change I plan on making is to upgrade the shocks, the stock MOPAR shocks are a little soft for my taste and when I changed them on my last Ram, the ride was night and day. I still would recommend this truck to anyone.

The best daily driver truck - unless you're towing

I was in the market for a daily driver truck and I found the 2018 RAM 1500 Laramie EcoDiesel (crewcab, 4x4, 3.92 rear) that did the job perfectly. In the 9k miles I've owned it, I was averaging close to 24mpg/city, 30mpg/highway, and 13+mpg/towing a 7k lbs travel trailer. As a daily driver, I don't think there is a better 1/2 ton truck with the mpg I was getting. The biggest flaw with this truck is the payload capacity. Being it's a EcoDiesel, the engine weighs more than the HEMI, therefore, reducing the payload. I only had 1005 lbs of payload capacity and with a tongue weight of 600 lbs, I was only left with 400 lbs of carrying capacity for my wife and kids. Therefore, I traded the truck in for a 3/4 ton truck to increase the payload. Granted, the towing capacity was 8640 lbs, which wasn't the problem, it was the cargo capacity. Other than that, this is the truck to get as a daily driver.

Truth about the Laramie Longhorn Limited

Have the recalls performed, the air suspension may get moisture in which it will stop working if it’s below 24 degrees so have the dealer service it otherwise it’s a dream to drive. For better fuel economy monitor driving habits and average mpg gauges to get optimum fuel economy.
