Beautiful and comfortable, purchased as executive transport and winter vehicle. Handling in snow is excellent with 4WD Auto.

Beware

By rexer written on 05-28-2013

I bought a brand new 2013 RAM 1500 and must admit that it was my first brand new purchase for a vehicle. I got a couple blocks away from the dealership when all of a sudden steam and smoke started pouring out from under the hood. I looked down at the temp guage and it was slightly below the red mark. I pulled over and popped the hood and found a rad hose not attached to engine. I called the dealership who sent a tech out to meet me (later found out that the hose is given a plastic peice at the factory to assit in assembly and it was never removed causing the hose to fall off under pressure). I spoke with the dealership and Chrysler Canada and was told too bad basically, your stuck with it.

2013 Dodge Ram 1500 Express 4x4 Quad w/ Hemi

By jason134 written on 06-17-2013

Drove 2013 f150 STX 4x4 ext cab, 7k discount, priced at $27k. Decent truck but kinda cheap interior, just felt it was overall average. Toyota wasnt even close asking 33k for similar equipped truck as ford. And Toyota doesn't discount! Poo poo to them, their vehicles have had lots of issues lately and Tundra is dated. Dodge had the quad express hemi 4x4 discounted 11k down to 24k! Drove it and felt more refined, smooth ride, powerful and great interior. Honestly has everything needed. Navigation, leather, and backup camera are really the only things missing in the express. I get 18mpg combined driving too! No Joke! Friend has ecoboost f150 and he can't get 18mpg and he doesn't have a hemi!

Very Poor Electrical systems

By djennings1 written on 11-21-2013

My husband & I bought a 2013 Ram 1500 V8-Hemi fully loaded Lonestar package 6 months ago. Electrical problems: Ram box, glove box & reading lights inoperable; Cruise control & traction control dash lights staying on. Mechanical: Check engine light came on due to a faulty injector -required replacement. Not once were we offered a rental car although we purchased the add on comprehensive Zurich vehicle service contract. All repairs required 3 different visits lasting multiple days. We just learned the odometer is reading at least 15 miles above driving speed. We will return for our 4th repair visit tomorrow. We traded a 2003 Dodge ram we drove 10 years that we loved. Very dissappointed!

Love My Ram

By lacoydr1 written on 05-22-2013

Last week I bought a Ram Express 1500 Crew Cab with the Hemi and 3.92 rear end. It rides like a dream! I only have 500 miles on it, but got 19.3 miles per gallon on a 150 mile round trip. Average between city / highway is 17.4 mpg in the first week. Not bad for a 395 hp V8. I didn't try Ford because I just couldn't justify the price difference. Already own one GM product and it has been in the shop more times than I care to mention. Plus the V8 just doesn't have any balls compared to the Hemi. I am hoping this truck will pull my 6000 TT with ease. Already installed a BedRug and Access Tonneau cover. Also hoping it is reliable. But first week has been great. Rock on Ram! 05/23/2016 - Well, it's been 3 years now and I still love my Ram! Mileage isn't quite as good since my kids have been driving it as I am sure they are opening up the Hemi. But, towing my 6000 pound trailer has been awesome. My Ford E350 with the V10 would actually drop down to about 52 mph on a long hill and nearly overheat. With the Ram I can accelerate up that same hill and hit 70! Plus I get between 7.5 and 8 mpg vs. the 6.5 to 7 mpg I used to get with the Ford. Truck still runs like a watch and hasn't needed anything but standard maintenance. Plus it is worth way more than I owe on it. Yippee. I still highly recommend it. 11/28/2016 - Still loving the truck. Did have to replace the tires at 35,000 miles, but wouldn't change a thing. The van has still been problem free! Still highly recommended. 05/28/2018 - 5 years and 54,000 miles with the truck and still loving it. It has not been problem free, but it has not been a problem either. Had to get both exhaust manifolds fixed as the bolts broke on both due to an expansion / contraction rate issue between the steel manifold and the aluminum engine block. Both were covered under the 60,000 mile powertrain warranty. Also, replaced the brakes around 50,000. Mileage isn't as great as it used to be either (I.e. 16-17) but overall, still love the truck and can't imagine parting with it.
