Dodge has what you are looking for.
My Dodge is really a dream come true .. I got the color, the interior and Accessories I wanted. Oh yeah , it's Granite.
Brittany M
The mileage, it gets decent mileage.
One love about it is that is big enough for the whole family and you can't travel with your pets in it and you can hale things in your trunk.
Brittany P
10/10 would recommend the ram 1500.
This vehicle is extremely reliable and especially for a pickup, gets great mileage. It is often times the vehicle we choose to take on our trips! The car is very comfortable and has remarkable features. The navigation system is wonderful, along with the seat warmers and the backup camera.
Tiffany F
It gets great gas mileage and it is easy to drive.
I love my truck because it fits my kids and is not a minivan, utility purposes, and size.... Dislike: ram (Dodge) notorious for breakdowns/shoddy parts. My 2015 is already rusting. Super disappointing..
Ashley F
It does get good gas mileage.
It is big and 4 wheel drive. It has plenty of room. I can tow trailers and boats and still get good gas mileage.

2015 red RAM review, updated.
I have owned this vehicle for three years and dutifully have it serviced by the dealership and I have no problems with it. It performs and runs beautifully. People admire my RAM because I have updated and added accessories and they think it's new. It is washed and vacuumed weekly.
Natalie D
I wanted a full size pick up when I had my second child. I love that I have plenty of room for my family. I dislike that they don't have the long bed on the crew cab available. I like how I get better gas mileage for a larger truck than I did with my 2004 Ford ranger. I like the 4 wheel drive as I live where we get a decent amount of snow.
I feel safe in my truck. It gets decent gas mileage. You have plenty of room and storage for your family.
Jacob B
The best trucks ever built.
The 5. 7l hemi motor gives plenty of power for those get up and go moments. The touch screen radio with backup camera gives you the luxury feel that everyone wants in the vehicle. I have had 2 Ram trucks over the past 4 years and haven't had a single issue with them.

I own dodge junk! Air ride suspension EPIC FAIL - Huge Problem!
Problem Trucks any where it gets COLD! If a 4x4 does not work at temperatures lower than -20, you can’t call it a 4x4. My truck litterly started making banging noises when it sunk down so lower that the A frame was pounding on the bumper blocks on the frame, while I was half way to work. Search on this issue. It is happening across Canada and in northern US and Alaska, anywhere it gets below -20. Dodge has no fix and no recall. Yes, they will look at it, estimate it, put the same parts on it that failed before and send it out with you to have it fail again. Of course, it’s lots of money every time. Dealerships love this as you truck is unusable until this is fixed. Dealerships can’t get parts in a timely manor because so many trucks are failing!! This point alone over rides any other possible good points about this truck. Dealership tell unhappy owners to trade them in. They make money at this too and screw over the next poor buyer by selling it again and he has to go through the grief all over again paying out for repairs until he is also fed up and sells it. There are even parts places specializing in air suspension conversion kits to replace the air suspension with conventional springs. It looks to me like this is cheaper than your FIRST repair bill from Dodge. The air compression alone is $2600 not including installation! Don’t have anything to do with these trucks. They are a major fail. Tell everyone one you know how bad these trucks are, so others don’t get sucked in like me. Mine is sitting in the drive way with the fenders down so low to the tires that I can’t even get a clenched fist in between them. No way Dodge gets any more money from me on this swindle, so I guess it sits there till spring and I get aftermarket suspension. This is a sad situation for a 2015 model with only 70,000 km on it. I just checked and even Rock Auto is out of stock on this part. I see that air shocks are about $800 EACH for this truck as well.
Ryan B
There is nothing interesting about it.
Unreliable, cheaply made, breaks down often, always at the service center horrible gas mileage underpowered makes creaks and odd sounds it's a horrible vehicle I should have never bought anything made by fiat Chrysler of America I wish I could go back in time and tell myself to get a ford.

In 2019 Air Suspension Issues -NO PARTS AVAILABLE
We have a 2015 Ram 1500 purchased a few months ago, loved everything about it until a month or so ago when the air suspension froze and we could not drive the truck. We took it in and they said it's a common problem in cold weather ( we are in Alberta and have had pretty cold weather lately). The said it was fixed, we drove off the lot, and within 5 blocks knew we had to go back, it was not fixed, it froze again while waiting in the lot for us to pick up. The dealership has said they had multiple trucks in for this issue, which has a domino effect of no rental cars being available and giving us a lot of scheduling stress when having to share 1 car for days on end. We ended up the 2nd time getting a rental car at our expense. We had it fixed, and had to take it back again! Now they gave us a courtesy car for the last few days and 2 days ago told us our truck was the last one to be repaired in the Province until MAY due to NO PARTS AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. Today, we were told they had the last 2 parts and the 1st one installed FAILED when put in. So they will be trying the very last available one on our truck tomorrow. The 8 or 9 trucks in their lot right now will have to wait until MAY. They are not driveable. We are now wondering if anyone else had this issue and if so, perhaps this is a class action lawsuit situation? Our feeling is that these air suspensions should be tested for weather and not be failing at an exponential rate. Feel free to contact me at twoturgeons@gmail.com if you have experienced this in Alberta.

Keys can never be locked in the car
During the first year the back door hinge broke, The radio tuning knob stopped working and the thermostat went. During the second year the cooling fan needed to be replaced. Doesn't have cruise control. The wiper delay only has one setting. Radio reception is horrible
Gary H
I won't buy another ram. I have always owned Chevy before.
Prone to rust. Threw a rod at 65k miles. Oil pump also went bad. Cheap interior. Thin paint. Side mirror broken easily with cracked plastic gears. Decent mileage for a full size pickup. I wish it had better storage components. Consistently slow dash computer.
Raina L
2015 dodge ram with hemi engine.
It has had a few electrical glitches, nothing too major or serious, but other than that it has been a great pickup truck. The hemi engine add a great touch and I love the way it gets up and goes. We were over the 3000 mile limit since our last oil change but the gas mileage saltwater great still until it was about double the mileage it should have been.
Leon A
The great price makes up for the few shortcomings.
The problems to date are: I had to replace one wheel bearing a around 70, 000 miles and one cracked exhaust manifold a 90, 000 miles. The rear springs are coil springs. I had to add air bags to prevent the truck from squatting when towing my camper. Overall I am pleased as the purchase price was great. The power of the 5. 7 is great! The truck came with a year of satellite radio.
Lindsay B
Good gas mileage. Lots of recalls.
Odd gear shifter. The car is nice but overpriced as well. It is dependable. Several recalls at least 4 in a year. I bought the truck 6 months ago and I am already ready to get rid of it. I wouldn't purchase again. I'll go back to Chevy. Poor gear shifting too.
Another important recall was for the crank position sensor tone wheel. The tone wheel in the 3.0L diesel engine can delaminate which can lead to the engine stalling. Ram can fix this problem with a software update to prevent the trucks from stalling.
The truck is also included in the vehicle rollaway recall that affected over 1.4 million vehicles. The problem is caused by a software issue where the vehicle does not go into park. Dealers will update the software and replace the transmission shift interlock system as necessary to prevent this from happening.
A 2015 Ram 1500 series can last about 250,000 miles as long as you take care of it. That estimate is based on earlier models which had the same 5.7L V8 engine. According to Repair Pal, you should expect to spend about $670 per year on maintenance.
What Technology is Included?
The base Ram 1500 series comes with a six-speaker stereo system with USB and AUX inputs.
There are infotainment upgrades including five-inch and 12-inch touchscreens, an upgraded stereo with surround sound, and remote start.
A rearview camera is offered standard on the SLT and higher models.
Does the 2015 Ram 1500 have Good Gas Mileage?
Ram was very focused on fuel economy for the 1500 series and it has the best fuel economy in its class. It gets up to 21 miles per gallon in the city, and 29 on the highway with the diesel engine.
What Engine Options are Available?
The best performance measure for the 2015 Ram 1500 series is the towing capacity, and it can tow up to 10,650 pounds with the 5.7L V8 engine.
The base engine is a 305 horsepower 3.6L V6.
There is an upgraded 395 horsepower 5.7L V8 Hemi available.
A fuel-efficient 240 horsepower 3.0L V6 diesel engine is also available.
What Color Options are Available?
How Safe is the 2015 Ram 1500?
The 2015 Ram 1500 does not score as well in safety tests as its competitors. The NHTSA gives this truck a four-star overall rating. That includes four-stars in frontal crash, and rollover tests. It gets five stars for side impact.
In tests by the IIHS, this truck scores a “good” in three categories; moderate overlap front, side, and head restraints & seats. It scores “marginal” in small overlaps on the front driver side, and roof strength. The IIHS also noted that for passenger safety, the Ram 1500 scores “marginal” and is behind other full-size trucks.

It has one of the most roomy and comfortable cabins on the full-size truck market.
How Does the 2015 Ram 1500 Compare to Other Trucks?
Based on owner reviews, the Ram 1500 comes in eighth place for the 2015 model year. One of the strongest competitors for the Ram is the Ford F-150. The F-150 has greater reliability than the Ram. The Ram does have better infotainment technology, and a more luxurious interior though.
Another competitor to the Ram 1500 is the Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The Silverado has better towing capacity than the Ram. It also has better safety ratings than the Ram. Overall, the Ram comes in third place in the shootout of the big three American trucks.

Final Verdict: Is the 2015 Ram 1500 a Good Truck?
Yes, the 2015 Ram 1500 series is a good truck. It has class-leading infotainment, and is the best value on the full-size truck market. The Ram also is the only half-ton truck for this year to offer a diesel engine option. Where the Ram falters is with safety, it just does not score as well as its competitors. It also is not as reliable as other trucks in its class and has been subject to more recalls.
I bought my 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 at a used dealership almost 2 years ago now, and it had a little over a hundread thousand miles on it at the time of purchase! The sticker price was $19,999, but after after the horrible financing that i got with it the total will be around $33,000, not including the $3,000 down payment that i put down on it "IKnow Right" So that is the first issue that i have with it! Hich is mainly due to where i was just starting to build my credit when i purchased it. The secound problem that ive had is that the window/door lock switch went bad in the driver side door. I simply bought a new switch off of Amazon and replaced that myself for about $30! The thrid problem is that it seems to be a biy of a gas hog! The fourth is that it has a small rf n nvibration once you i get it up to around 65 or 70mph, however its not all that horrible, and usauly subsides a little once i hit around 75 or 80mph! The fourth thing is that a cable of some sort that runs from front to back on the under carrage of the truck started dangeling loosely reciently. I simply ziptied that backup to the frame. Fifth: occasionalmy the 4wd will kick in without even pushing the button but is alwayse very quickly realized, and switched back over to 2wd and then all is well again. Its never dont tgat wile in motion, and if my memory serves me well it only happens when i first start the truck up and beging driving it. It is easy to notice when this happens, and in the almost 2 years that ive owned the truck, it may have happened 3 to 4 times! The sixth: The key fob stoped workin, i thought it was batttery inside of it, but upon replacing that, it still does not work. Seventh: The tires are bad for needing air constantly it seems. However, it May be where they are due to be changed! Eight: The raideo dosent pick up the stations as good as it should, and it does not habe bluetooth. However it is equiped with an aux port if you want to play music from your phone or what-not! Im sure i could think of a few other small issues if i wanted too, but that cover it forthe most part on tge cons! But even with all of that being said, this is an outstanding vehicle all the way around in every aspect that I can imagine. It is so comfortable, hardly feels like you're driving a truck, it goes in the snow unbelievably good, even with not so great tires. Four-wheel drive high is extremely fun especially on a icy parking lot or snowy back road. Lock it in four wheel drive low and you could climb a tree. It is a very powerful machine. Very spacious on the inside perfect for family, work, and play. I absolutely love that mine has a tonneau cover over the bed that is so easy to take off and put on. It looks nice and stylish, almost like it's a sports truck LOL. There is so many things that you can do to this truck to modify it visually. I love how soft the seats are and the middle console is very big and makes for a good arm rest as well as cup holders, or you can fold it back in order to fit another passenger. Can seat six in this bad boy very comfortably. It runs nice and quiet. It's smooth as can be other than once you hit that 65 to 70 mph Mark as I stated earlier. Make a long story a little shorter, even with all the issues that I have pointed out with it and the fact that it came with a dent in the dead center of the bumper on the front when I bought it, I still am very extremely happy with this truck even at the high price I bought it at. It is a d**n good truck, and definitely worth considering if you are in the market for one in this class. I love the fact that it has all of the information regarding engine oil pressure transmission fluid and almost everything else you can think of right at your fingertips and on the dash. Also the cruise control works great. The handling is exceptional. Even though they don't give this truck very good crash and safety rating, I think the handling and maneuverability of this truck should be taken into account in regards to that as well, which in my opinion would make that writing a little better if they had done so. Because as I stated earlier this thing gets around like a sports car. I very much love my Dodge Ram 1500 2015 model truck. And I think you will love yours too. Good luck and happy truck hunting.!. P.S little word of advice, if you are new at buying vehicles, or if you are just a bit of a pushover. Do not go to the any dealership without someone who is good at working the on price. That is the hardest issue of this whole deal to swallow. And I think I could have avoided that if I would have been a little smarter, and a little more knowledgeable on the subject at the time. Good luck guys.!.

Plenty of space
My 2015 ram 1500 big horn package is the perfect truck for me. It is the first truck I have owned and had been worth it. The convenience of the crew cab for the kids and the bed for, well, anything, makes this purchase a great decision. There is plenty of room inside the truck, including a spacious back seat for all three of my kids. There is plenty of power to pull a trailer, a boat, or even another truck if needed. The digital controls are great and the huge screen makes things easy to control. Overall, an amazing truck!

2015 Ram 1500 5.7 Hemi Crew Cab
I have a 2015 Ram 1500 with a 5.7 Hemi engine. I prefer the Hemi engine for its performance. I never have a problem entering a busy highway. The gas mileage is great too. I drive 30 miles each way to and from work. My average is 16-17 miles per gallon. On a 325 mile trip my average was 22 miles per gallon. I tend to have a heavy foot so I think this gas mileage is excellent. The color is silver. I have had the darker colors on previous vehicles. This color doesn't show dirt or rain spots. I am very happy with this truck.

2015 Ram 1500 Lone Star edition!
This truck is everything and more that I was looking for in a vehicle. I've had it almost 2 years and it was used when I bought it but in great condition. I drive a lot of miles and have made several cross country trips in it. It's comfortable on long car rides, it is very reliable, and durable. So far the only issues I've ran into with it was that I had to have a gasket replaced recently and a wheel bearing. Other than that it has been an amazing vehicle and I would recommend it to anyone interested in buying a truck!

2015 Dodge Ram 1500 5.7.liter hemi
My 2015 dodge ram 1500 with the hemi is got to be one of the best driving trucks.the 5.7 liter hemi is one of the best motors on the market it has really got some power. And it has the most leg room in the back seat you sit in for the kids . The only problem I have I don't like the rear end it should of been positive traction rear end. I don't like the way it jump and hops on this vehicle when you spin the wheels. Other then that it is all around the best vehicle.

Factory issue, but still love my RAM.
Own a 2015 RAM 1500 that I bought brand new end of 2015. Love the vehicle, but it did have a factory front bumper alignment issue that caused paint to rub off the front bumper where it connected to the body of the vehicle. Had the dealership fix this (was under Chrysler warranty) and it has been fine ever since. This issue aside, I would consider purchasing another RAM in the future.

In love with my 2015 Laramie.
Right now it has a tire leak, but we are fixing it at home. We purchased it used, which means we expected it to have some problem. This is an easy fix. It is also the most comfortable vehicle that I have ever drove. I think that is because the pedals move forward. I am really short and this allows me to sit at a normal seat level instead of right up against the steering wheel.

The backup cam is awesome.
I drive a 2015 Ram 1500. I purchased the truck brand new. The issues that arose first were the back cap light leaked which allowed water to come into the cap of the truck. The second issue encountered was the drive door handle came off when I was opening the door. The dealership I purchased from very quickly fixed both issues and I have had no issues since then.

2015 Dodge RAM 1500 is a classic. It is fun to drive with a lot of power.
It runs very smooth. It does not feel like you are in a truck. It has never given me any problems. Very reliable. The seats are very soft so it is very comfortable. It has a great backup camera. It is automatic v8 engine. Very easy to shift into 4 wheel drive. It is blacked out which is an excellent color. It get around 20/25 mpg.

Pros and cons of a 2015 1500 Dodge RAM truck.
The performance is fantastic drives smoothly. I found no problems with my vehicle. The reliability of my truck is really trustworthy and very spacious. It is great for a family vehicle. The only thing is that it takes a lot of gas to fill up. It does not have the latest features such as rear camera and electric adjusting seats.

2015 ram 1500 Lone Star love it.
The ram 1500 is spacious and drives smoothly at any speed. The v6 engine is great on gas mileage for a truck. Best vehicle I have ever had the pleasure of owning. The bed space is large enough to haul full size furniture with ease. The Lone Star package is a nice touch of Texas swag especially since we moved away.

The most interesting detail would be the interior and the pick up speed
My car is a 2015 Dodge Ram 1500 Laramie. I like the Truck but I would rank it second to my old Nissan Titan 2005. The Ram has nice pick-up. The interior is great. The only issue I have would be the transmission. I had to have it replaced 1 year into owning it and then just this year had to have it serviced again.

2015 ram 1500 Laramie 4wd.
The truck has very comfortable leather seats that are both heated and cooled, tows my 6500 pounds trailer very strong, and I love the 395 hp hemi engine! The auto headlights are an option I have never but I now love it. The fold down flat rear floorboards makes for plenty of storage area in the rear when needed.

A fantastic pickup for packing around the whole family!
It is a full size, 1/2 ton, 2015 Ram. I have had zero issues with the pickup so far. There has been one recall, but as far as I can tell it hasn't affected my vehicle. It has been a pleasure to drive with great power, a comfortable cockpit, and tons of room for seating and storage in the back seat.

Review of my 2015 ram 1500 Laramie limited with EcoDiesel.
There were a couple def issues and electrical issues caused by air filter sensor but otherwise has been great. The fuel mileage is really good for a full size truck and the trim package is really nice. It kind of stinks that the heavier weight oil decreased my mileage some.

An all around solid 2015 ram.

Fun to drive with room to spare.
With a 5.7 liter engine, there are no problems with the power to move on or off road. The ease of driving is both comfortable and every bit responsive to almost any driver over 5'-6' tall. It is extremely roomy interior and enough room to stretch out when taking longer trips. The cab space is more than acceptable & easy to keep clean.

Substantial daily driver with thoughtful features.
Reliable, attractive, goes where I want it to and tows well. Although it is a smaller engine I would like to see it get better gas mileage when hauling trailers because I experience significant losses even when hauling light trailers that are not filled yet. Trim is durable and the third seat that can be put up where the console is really helps for driving with friends or can be the perfect place for a cooler during long road trips. Not hauling gets pretty good gas mileage all things considered which makes it more acceptable as a daily driver. Appreciate the redundancy with radio and climate controls as I personally believe touch screens with no tactile feedback are less safe than physical buttons when on the road. Like the fold down pieces in the back seats that make the bottom flat for hauling stuff like boxes and groceries. The cup holders are man size and can hold a 40 oz hydro flask without much tipping. Lots of cup holders.

Great comfort away from home.
It is comfortable but sensors are a pain to replace when they go out. Make sure to get things tested on any vehicle you own. I never have issues with it running or the heating/cooling. It is great on long road trips, averages about 22 mpg on long trips, 19 on city streets.

The engine is the best part, sports car in a pickup!
I haven't had any real problems with my pickup. Rams are large and spacious. The hemi engine is awesome and provides great power. I travel a lot over single lane roads so passing quickly at the right moment is critical or else you can be stuck behind someone or a large semi going very slow, with the hemi engine it's a snap to accelerate and pass quickly and safely.

It is a very good reliable truck that has never left me stranded. Has a strong motor and transmission. Has a big touchscreen radio. Back seat and all the amenities of home. The bed is the shortest option for this year model of truck and everything else is pretty standard.

Truck review for ram 4-door.
Vehicle is very reliable. My husband bought it in 2015 and it has had no problems so far. Only thing we have done is routine maintenance- oil changes and tire rotations. We drive this truck everywhere. Great truck to take around as well as hauling things back and forth.

2015 ram 1500 EcoDiesel Laramie limited.
There have been several recalls, electrical issues, and fuel issues but overall still a great truck. It gets great mileage and the amenities of the trim level are very luxurious. If I could get another truck, it would probably be the larger 2500 version of the truck n.

Good truck really like the pickup when you hit the gas. Seems to go.
Fuel sensor went out around 30000 miles. That has been a problem. The radio stop show the picture of the music that I am playing. Something wrong with the air flow. Sorry do not know what. It been a pretty good truck beside the price of the truck. But that is about like everything.

Midnight blue, crew cab. 1500.
Fuel sensor went bad at 65000. Mileage is good for a truck. No major problems, have to watch wheel wells they usually rust out first. Front end loosens up with bigger tires. Always get 4x4. Have not had any transmission issues. Always get regular oil changes.

A surprisingly good option for a family vehicle.
Very comfortable vehicle. We have taken it on a 10.5 hour road trip, and did not get that “trapped” feeling you can get after awhile in a smaller vehicle. We also had an infant with us, and were able to pack everything that entails without feeling crowded in the cab. It is a nice family vehicle for people who still would like the functionality of having a truck.

Fuel-efficient truck that is excellent for long-distance driving or towing.
Great gas mileage, great towing capacity for a 3.0l diesel. Quad cab is extremely roomy, with enough room for 2 kids to sit comfortably in the backseat. 110,000 miles so far and absolutely no engine problems at all. Very quiet compared to other diesel engines.

Great truck, but can be disappointing in the personal service it provides.
The quiet diesel engine is nice, and gets great gas mileage (22+ mph), but sometimes delays in responsiveness. It is very comfortable ride. The electronic console could be better on the navigation. Even though you have to accept the usage warning at every start of the engine, the system does not allow you to type in destination information while the vehicle is moving, so not even the passenger is able to enter or modify destination information without stopping the vehicle. The handsfree is nice for making phone calls, but costs about $150/year for the service. And if you are in start and stop traffic, you will not be able to use it since the system recognizes starts and stops as interruptions and stops the recording of a hands free text.

Review of my 2015 ram 1500 Laramie limited with EcoDiesel.
There were a couple def issues and electrical issues caused by air filter sensor but otherwise has been great. The fuel mileage is really good for a full size truck and the trim package is really nice. It kind of stinks that the heavier weight oil decreased my mileage some.

My review of the 15 Ram 1500
I lover my truck. The seats are very comfy and you feel relaxed in them. One of my main concerns was the lack of a cabin air filter.

It is a beast of a truck. Lots of power from start to finish.
I like everything about my truck. The only problems is not having some of those luxury options. Leather seats would have been a nice addition.

I would definitely consider buying another ram truck.
I am quite pleased with my 2015 ram 1500 truck. It has a great comfortable cab and plenty of cargo room in the bed. The heated seats and steering wheel are great, as well as the remote start in the winter months. I utilize the four wheel drive skiing in the winter and on the beach in the summer and it is always dependable. I have never had any mechanical issues after 4 years. I did have to have the navigation/satellite radio replaced, but it was covered under my extended warranty with only a $100 deductible. The gas mileage around town is not the greatest, 13-15 mpg, but on longer trips it does average closer to 20 mpg. I am considering a trade in for a new model.

In love with my 2015 Laramie.
Right now it has a tire leak, but we are fixing it at home. We purchased it used, which means we expected it to have some problem. This is an easy fix. It is also the most comfortable vehicle that I have ever drove. I think that is because the pedals move forward. I am really short and this allows me to sit at a normal seat level instead of right up against the steering wheel.

The Ram is Great vehicle to own. Hardly have any issues.
The dodge ram 1500 has many Recalls but they fix no charge. I had issues with my transmission valve but again my truck was under warranty. So I didn't have to pay out of pocket which is great. Other than that I never have any issues with it. The ram is a great vehicle to own very well made.

Perfect truck for hauling and helping get people unstuck.
It drives extremely smooth for a truck, and can tow well. Can easily pull a buddy out of a mud pit. A little quiet on the engine/ muffler, but that's easily interchangeable. It is durable, and can last long if you take good care of it. The height is perfect to just tippy tow in, and wouldn't need a hoop bar.

Quality made vehicle, and should last longer than the finance term.
Like the power it has in the engine. Like the storage under back seat. Dislike no step bars.

Very reliable, fun truck.
Everything works very well. Tranny has a little issues. Nothing major. For the price. It is not a bad truck. Motor is strong. It just wants to go. Put your foot down and she’s gone. It is pretty fast for a truck. Would highly recommend for someone looking for a truck.

Best Truck on the Market!
This vehicle has by far been my favorite of any I've owned. It is a very smooth ride comparatively to other pickup trucks. It's very durable and I have had no problems out of it to date (about 87,000 miles on it now). All I've done is regularly scheduled maintenance in accordance with dealership standards and put some tires on it. The one thing I will say in the negatives about this truck is that even with a crew cab, it's a bit of a tight squeeze for more than 3 people to fit in (especially if you're tall). I was involved in one crash in it in which I rear ended another vehicle, and my truck barely had any damage and kept me safe even at interstate speeds. Will definitely buy another one if ever given the opportunity!

2015 truck that I own and you want to know about.
There had been no issues with my dodge ram truck. We've owned it for 2 years and only had scheduled maintenance. It drives well and it is comfortable for long or short commutes. I would recommend the 2015 dodge ram truck to anyone I know.

Well running, never any issues. American made, so parts are very easy to find.
My vehicle drives very well, has a comfortable ride. It is a bit large so it isn't easy to park when I'm in the city. I like the fact that I can load just about anything into it without issues.

Tons of power with a smooth and comfortable ride.
It has a very smooth, quiet and comfortable ride. I have two boys and the size of the cabin fits us well. The onboard system is easy to work and understand. Since purchasing the truck I have not had a single issue with it. Tons of storage space inside the cabin which is a plus.

My truck and what I like and use it for.
Long it is long lasting and dependable characteristics that help me in my day to day activity. My vehicle is best for the work and for the family. I would buy it again if I could and always will stay with Dodge. And the low price matching parts from the dealer.

I love my ram truck, best truck I have ever owned!
I love this truck! It is reliable, easy to drive, and powerful. I drive it in all kinds of conditions from dry expressways to snow-covered roads, to muddy dirt paths and I never have any trouble getting where I need to go. Inside is all comfort and style with a great sound system and controls at your fingertips.

Dependable and comfy truck.
I love basically everything about my truck. I think it is extremely comfortable, reliable, and does everything I need it to do. The two things I do not like are the shifter and the key fob. The key fob and broken twice and they are extremely expensive and I wasn't able to operate my truck at all during those times.
Bill L

I would not get another Ford or Toyota after driving this truck.
This truck has lots of power. It tows effortlessly and also pushes deep snow without any problems. I have had several recall which were easily taken care of. Very low road noise. Extremely comfortable. I would purchase this truck again without hesitation.

Ram trucks are comfortable!
I love my ram! It is super comfortable ride and the cab is very roomy. There is enough space behind the seats to put stuff unlike most regular cab trucks. The ride is not too smooth and the pick up on it is amazing! It is fun to drive. I also like the look of it. The radio is pretty good. The heat and air conditioning work pretty fast.

Great truck poor turning radius.
There are only a couple of problems with this model truck, the turning radius is very wide not allowing for sharp turns and back seat is small. Overall I love this truck, it is very nice smooth ride and this truck is great on gas even hauling a 3000 lb trailer.

Pros and cons of a 2015 1500 Dodge RAM truck.
The performance is fantastic drives smoothly. I found no problems with my vehicle. The reliability of my truck is really trustworthy and very spacious. It is great for a family vehicle. The only thing is that it takes a lot of gas to fill up. It does not have the latest features such as rear camera and electric adjusting seats.
Ashley F
on February 13, 2021
It does get good gas mileage.
It is big and 4 wheel drive. It has plenty of room. I can tow trailers and boats and still get good gas mileage.

Has a bed liner so the bed doesn't get all scratched up.
No problems. It runs great. Nice truck to own. Has automatic locks and windows, has a automatic back sliding window. Has where you can program your phone to the truck through Bluetooth. Has dash messages that lets you know if something is wrong or if and when the truck needs serviced.

The love of my life. My truck is amazing, beautiful. Perfect.
This is by far the best vehicle I have ever had. It ride smoothly, looks amazing. I have not had any problems with it at all. It may not have all the bells but it rings enough for me. When I was looking for a truck I had three things I wanted. Being a dodge is a given but I wanted Bluetooth, running bars and remote start. The truck came with tinted windows and nice looking wheels. The dealership put the running bars on for me and it came with Bluetooth. I was only left to get the remote start which I did. This was the best thing I have ever bought.

Husbands dodge ram 1500 Laramie.
We love our ram. This will be our second ram purchase. Some things we have noticed that go out quickly is, the front and rear suspension. The drive is not the smoothest. Other than that we love that it is built tough! It is a great family truck and we drive it daily.

The engine is remarkably well done for a truck of Its size.
The miles and size of the truck really leave me satisfied with overall performance of the engine and vehicle. Every time I use it, I fall in love with it more and more and adding further to it the tires are great quality. Any buyer looking for a reliable vehicle has got to be looking for this model in particular.

That it is very reliable and gets good gas mileage.
It is reliable.. It is comfortable.. I like the color.. I like the backup camera.. It is hard to maneuver.. It is hard to park.. I do not like the tonneau cover, it makes a lot of noise.

Great truck for everyone!
Love my ram!!. I am a small female, but this truck is just my size! It is easy to drive, and is maneuverable. The air-ride suspension makes the ride amazingly comfortable. The truck is capable, strong when towing and looks-great too. I recommend a dodge ram to anyone coming for. . A new vehicle.

I love my 2015 ram big horn truck.
I enjoy the ride and comfortable seats. The fuel noteworthy economy is outstanding for a full size truck. The eight speed transmission is extremely smooth shifting. The reliability of the Pentastar engine is very noteworthy. I actually look forward to driving this truck everyday.

Overall good truck for the price. Especially compared to competition.
No problems. Starts and runs right away. Ac works great.Big, safe and comfortable to drive. Backup camera is big and zoomed in so it is easy to see and use. No engine or transmission issues so far. Wheel well flares are a little bit cheap. They are not screwed or bolted on so it is flimsy and cheap.

Ram Laramie is the vehicle one should aspire to.
This is the ultimate comfortable truck. I wasn't searching for a Laramie but things lead me to this one. The heated and vented seats, power sliding rear window, Bluetooth, etc all make for pleasant and productive drives. Power seats on both sides and the 4 wheel drive option makes for opportunities no matter the weather.
Dennis B

The sport ram is a luxury vehicle and a functional truck.
Comfortable, quiet ride in town and on the highway. Reasonable gas mileage (for a hemi truck) on the highway. The handling is rather nimble, considering it is size, so parking spaces have not been an issue. Huge back seat. Heated seats and steering wheel should be standard on all cars.

Reliable towing, comfortable and roomy.
At 50000 miles I had a slight leak in the pinion seal. It was fixed at no charge through the powertrain warranty. Truck has been reliable and used regularly for towing a travel trailer and a pontoon boat. It rides nicely and is comfortable even on long trips.
Karla C

Great gas mileage, comfortable, reliable.
Great gas mileage (around 500 miles when tank is filled up, 18-20 mpg), reliable, comfortable, the only thing I do not like is the dial shifter. Other than that I have had it for a year and couldn’t be more happy with my purchase! My family owns ram trucks and have never had an issue with them.

Rides great, spacious, good mpg.
Performs really well. Hemi is great. No issues whatsoever. I've put a level, some trim accessories, exhaust work, and wheel offset. Rides well, no issues with the transmission like mopar is notorious for. I really enjoy it, mpg is great considering it is a hemi.

The Ram 1500 handles well and does not feel like a big vehicle.
I love that I sit up high in my truck. I love the handling. It doesn't handle like a large vehicle. It has most of the features I am looking for in a vehicle.

The best dodge ever the Laramie.
I like the perks of my vehicle, that comes with the version of my dodge. The fact that it comes with a remote start and power windows and doors, this is a great feature. It is worth the extra money for these features. I also love the vehicle ride,it's very smooth for a pick-up truck. I would highly recommend this trim.
