I traded in my 2014 Honda CRV and got a great value for it. I brought this truck because of the rebates and discounts ($12,000.00). I had never owned a truck before this. I have been buying cars since 1977, and this was an eye opener. The Ram 1500 that I got is a little basic, not equipped with many Technology options. It does have bluetooth, pretty nice sound system. With that exception, this is a great truck. In Michigan we have had back to back Ice and snow storms, and this truck has not slipped one time. I had thought I was having a problem with the transmission, and returned to dealer, the Service Tech at Cueter Chrysler Jeep Dodge RAM took an hour to demonstrate to me how to use the truck correctly. The next RAM will be better equipped but I will be a truck owner forever. One other note, there is not a lot of storage space in my truck.

This the first full sized Ram Brand purchase i have ever made. I always bought SUV. However I decided it was time for a truck that can pull a camper. I love how big it feels and it handles great. Pressing the gas will put your head back. This is the best purchase I have ever made would do it again. No problem.

Don’t Buy! Unreliable!

My ram I got was good for the first 21000 miles. Then suddenly it’s taking 3-6 seconds of holding the key for the car to start. It’s making noises but won’t catch for a while. I’m really disappointed with the reliability in this piece of junk. It’s inconsistent with the starting.

Bought the truck with 19,100 miles on it. Currently sitting at 34,720. 8 speed transmission is smooth except for the first two shifts, very punchy and wind up, from 3 - 8 it's smooth and is really good on gas mileage. So far, so good. Cabin is comfortable, ride is very good. I obviously have one of the lower end models of the Ram 1500, but I can tell you, I do like it. How much tech do you need? It only leads to more replacement when it fails. Hopefully, the truck will get me to 100k and more.

Great truck with screen issues

Honestly, this has been the best truck I have ever owned. Diesel power is adequate, it rides very smooth, and hasn't really broke down on me during the one year I've owned it. The only issue has been the screen that has developed a bubble and cannot be replaced with an aftermarket unit.

Love almost everything about this vehicle. Although I do wish I had an actual CD player in it instead of just bluetooth. Also wish the rear window had like a sliding middle section but overall very pleased with the vehicle.

I just bought a 2018 with 100000 miles on it. I am pleased with everything but the ride. The truck is a lone star silver addition 2 wheel drive 5.7 engine. It mabe just the tires they are almost gone. I hope new ones improve the ride
