Purchased a CPO with 4k miles, and in the first 1k I've put on it I've been beyond happy. Came from a 2021 X5 so I was expecting a bit of a downgrade, however the truck feels just as luxurious but ten times more capable. Quiet ride, easy to drive, lots of cameras. No complaints whatsoever!

I'm 65+ years old, private business owner who has purchased dozens upon dozens of trucks, but in my personal life for my own personal use about 25 trucks made up of Ford, Chev and Ram. I started buying Ram in 2006 and have never gone back. My last Ram which I just sold was a 2018 with 185,000 miles on it and when I traded it in, it was still running very strong. Today I purchased a new 2023 Ram Laramie again with the 5.7 Hemi and never gave it a second thought and just hoping it's as good as the last 6 Rams I've purchased. Nothing beats the Ram, ride, sound, luxury, power, quality, handling, its a great truck and Ram has a great dealer network. I have absolutely no complaints and would recommend a Ram truck to anyone, which I have (and they have purchased and equally happy). Five Stars !

only thing I dislike are the mirrors. So if you have a garage measure the width.

Severe Ball Joint issues

I’ve had my truck for less then 2 years with less then 60k miles. I booth the truck used with 25k on it and had no problems what so ever till I was casually driving and my upper ball joint snapped sending my tire up under my truck causing it to rip my break line apart so I lost all breaks. Did $8500 worth of damage. I loved dodge/ram sense I was a little kid. I have never seen a ball joint snap liked it did. Even the mechanics at the dealer shop were dumb founded on how it happened. I don’t off road or do anything crazy or stupid in it I take care of all my vehicles with love and care and keep regular maintenance on it and there where no signs given of my ball joint going bad. I’ve lost hope in this truck after this happened won’t buy another.

I can't describe how great this truck is. There's no other one like it. Put your foot on the gas pedal and it just takes off and goes. I would highly recommend anyone with the resources to get one while they last.

Bought new 1500 in 2021 with 4 miles. 2022- slips into limp mode, dealer says bad oil filter. 2023 slips into limp mode, dealer says bad oil filter. DEC 2024 (57,000 miles) slips into limp mode and brought it to a local shop. Shop says needs new transmission and 10k in other work, told to bring to dealer. Dealer agrees to fix transmission ONLY under warranty. I ask about rental and dealer agrees to reimburse for rental. End of February finally get vehicle back from dealer and immediately trade in for Toyota. Its now the end of March and and I am still chasing the rental reimbursement.

I have no idea why Edmunds doesn’t have the option for a Rebel with the 5.7 Hemi, but that is what I have. Bought it new with 19 miles on it and it’s now at 88K. Simply the best truck and truly the best vehicle I have ever owned. It replaced a 2014 Tahoe that was a beautiful vehicle but cost me an absolute fortune with non-stop issues! I have done nothing but oil changes, tires and tune up at 50K, and brakes. It had two recalls in the last 4 years but they were both very minor and dealer had them done very quickly. I have had F150, F250, Ranger and a Silverado 1500 over the years and this truck outshines them all! The ride is buttery soft, it’s dependable as they come! Plus it looks beautiful and has so much interior room! I can’t say enough good things about this truck and I test drove an F150, Silverado and a Honda Ridgeline before I bought it and have never looked back. Reading some of these reviews drove me nuts so I felt like I needed to leave my own. Especially the guy who gave it 2 stars because of the noise and vibration when you have just the one rear passenger window down…absolutely ridiculous! That is every modern car! Take it from someone who knows trucks. This is the one you want!

Positive: we have owned 8 Dodges (Ram) trucks and have had amazing dependability. From the highway to the swamps of Florida with water over the hood! We really love our 2021 Ram and are planning to get a 2023 in November, #9. Except for our first Dodge they have all been HEMIS. The model selection below does not have our model. Rebel Nite Edition 5.7 4WD level 2 package. Negatives: NONE!
