Eco Diesel is the best pickup truck I've owned yet

115,000 miles and this truck has never let me down or been in the shop for any repairs. I do all my own maintenance. Regular oil changes with approved oils only. Filters, tires, one set of brakes and that's it. The cab is comfortable and the drive is quiet. I get outstanding fuel economy, and used the truck to tow a fairly heavy tow hauler for several years before buying a dedicated towing vehicle. I had intended to sell the 1500 when I purchased a 2500, but the ride quality, comfort and fuel economy made that decision too difficult and I now have two Rams in the driveway. One is a daily and the other is for heavy work. The Eco Diesel motor is quiet, composed and powerful. At 60,000 miles I did a stage 1 tune for the engine and the transmission and the truck is nearly as quick as a hemi, but far more composed and quiet. I commute 40 miles each way to work and usually average around 25 miles per gallon. It's a shame the 3.0 diesel engines have been discontinued. My previous ram was a 5.7 hemi and I would not want another. That motor sounded like it was going to self destruct and I'm glad I sold it before it had any major issues. The Eco Diesel reputation isn't great, but regular maintenance has paid off in my case. I expect to have this truck for many years to come. It's holding up great, still looks sharp, the interior is holding up well. The truck still looks and drives amazing.

Interior and ride rival luxury car

As other reviews have said, the suspension gives this truck a very smooth ride; supposedly attributed to the old style rear suspension. The interior fit and finish is comparable to most luxury SUV. The rear seat room is fantastic, plenty of room for 3 teenage grandchildren.

Best truck in class

Problem is that only unhappy owners writing reviews. I have no doubt that RaM is the best truck in class. I switch from f-150 and this is my second Ram in 8 Years. Very comfortable and soft drive, lowest maintenance cost among competitors.

Love it! Fantastic truck that has a great ride. I had a Hellcat and a Ram Big Horn so I combined them into my TRX. I don’t regret it for a second. The gas mileage isn’t that great but I didn’t buy it for that. It brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.
