Nice big horn 2017 RWD 5.7 Hemi

By Diego E written on 01-09-2018

First, I have to say I love car and this is my first truck, so There are some things that I still ignore about trucks.... I love my Ram, why I add 4 star,? My only ''cons'' is the fuel economy in the city, The Fuel economy falls dramactly in the city (12-13mpg) I think If at least It give you 15 or 16, will be perfect. Cabin is quite , material are good! The info system and screen are very nice and easy to use. The ride is smooth with unloaded bed, so Its a good point. The acceleration and shift are smooth, you can feel the power of the acceleration. I hasn't towed nothing, so I can't give an opinion about that, Nethier about the realibility, I own the truck for 3 months(2500 miles, But I bougth the car with 11000 miles), but I did two small road trips, with no problems, good fuel economy in the HWY using cruise control (22-23 mpg) at 60 mph. I tested the Silverado before buy my RAM, I hd the idea that to choose the silverado because last more than RAM, but I didnt want to pay 4000 More for a Silverado LT as I wanted. i gonna prove the realibilty of my RAM, so Im new and I don't have previous ideas of RAM! I thougth that the ram will be hard to park but It's easier than I thougth . I prefer park back I think its easier, the sensors and the huge back up camera help you to park. the distance between each axes is no a problem to park. For convinence I think the rear seats have to have a USB port or power plug.

Internet is your best tool

By Calvin Mathis written on 04-21-2017

The internet is your most valuable tool in searching for a new vehicle. All the necessary information you need in selecting the best vehicle for your needs at the best price is there and there are a lot of tips in how to deal with the buying process. Once you narrowed down the make, model, and features you want, send an email to dealers internet manager and let them find your vehicle. Avoid high pressure salesman by dealing only with the internet manager. The finance manager is the most aggressive person you will have to deal with and you should verify everything they tell you. If they tell you something that is different then what your internet research said, ask them to explain the difference and if they object, ask to talk to the general sales manager. I used OneNote to document my research.

See Guss at Dick hannah

By Robert written on 03-03-2017

I had a great buying experience with Guss and Aladdin from Dick hannah. The 4X4 truck handles well and has excellent fuel economy. The truck also has great acceleration for a 6 cylinder. The options are also an excellent value for the cost of the vehicle, it is loaded, including:back-up camera, lots of chrome trim, tilt wheel, alloy rims, spray in bed liner and 1 year XM radio. The gear selector knob is also a great feature and easy to use. The only complaint I have is getting the right seat adjustment because the manual controls are not as precise as electric. I enjoy driving the truck, working with the truck and looking forward to many years with it.

Quality control, paging quality control!

By Cooper written on 05-20-2017

I have had this truck for a month. I test drove it a couple of times. I switched up from an '03 GMC. There is a world of difference, and this Ram is in a different solar system then the old trucks, it rides better than most cars I've owned, lane changes are great, the V6 with the 8 speed is amazing, very road travel friendly! Seats are for a little skinnier person than I am, I'm a 6'1" 260lb furniture mover, but aside from my issue of being wider than the seat by an inch, they cup and hold me in great. My complaints are the quality control, or lack thereof. There is a sandy substance UNDERNEATH the paint in the door jambs of the front passenger and driver side rear door, right where you see it every time you open the door. There is what may be a small fuzz ball stuck UNDER THE PAINT on the bed side. The "cup", which is the little plastic area behind the door handle, doesn't fit in the top correctly on the passenger side, I fiddled and fixed the front passenger door, but the rear door has a sold 1/4" gap all across the top. STAY AT A COMPLETE STOP while changing gears, if you don't, the lights flash on the dash and on the rotor gear selector (which is in a terrible place, considering all I do is turn my fan speed up and down instead of getting into Drive or Park) until you stop again. Kind of annoying. While on the transmission, if you're not at a dead stop, the transmission feels like its fluttering a little while it's engaging from Park to Drive, but if you're on the brakes until it's engaged, you'll not notice. The truck really is great, but the quality control must've been off the day this one was built, and the rotory knob is weird. The stereo however, is nothing short of amazing. If the window is half up(or down for you pessimists), they rattle with bass, and I've got the bass on 3, and the volume on 20. The thing rocks. Gas mileage has been between 22 and 22.6 on the highway, and pretty solid average of 13.8 in town, a little town, lots of stop and go, like every 300ft. Our city blocks are small. Really like the display in the dash, kind of like the stereo display, but I got the little one, the bigger one may be better, but I'm pretty satisfied, aside of the fact I bought the cheapest one and it's still 40k, for that price, I'd prefer more quality.

Tried the rest, Bought the BEST

Test drive the other manufactures 1500 (half ton). You'll notice the difference! Absolutely this is the BEST all around!
