Amazing truck for people who want dependable and performance together!
My truck is amazing. It has leather seats and comfortable during long trips. My mega cab adds more room and it tows like a dream. Tow my fifth wheel camper with ease. Also does very good on fuel for a bigger truck. If you are looking for a heavy duty truck, ram does it all!

Awesome truck great pulling power.
Very strong truck very user-friendly interior pretty good on fuel handles very well and the braking is excellent sometimes it shifts a little on the higher side with the positraction rear end the stereo sounds very good and the navigation worked great.

Our Ram seems to get good gas mileage. It has a towing package, so it a little ruff riding. Very quiet. You can not hear a lot of road noise which is very good.
The performance is good. There are too many recalls. The cost of upkeep is very expensive. Fuel filters alone can wreck the bulge.

Great family truck for rural living.
Great truck! Excellent performance, very reliable. Very comfortable for our family! Plenty of legroom for our tall children, and driver. Always starts even in cold weather. Highly recommend this truck for a family living in a rural area. Never failed to perform no matter the task!

Overall super comfortable and reliable transportation
It has a lot of legroom both in the front sits and back. The rear view camera is on the rear view mirror not dashboard. Sites are very comfortable able to travel 10+ hours comfortably. Runs great has a decent size bed box. Great for moving thing. Very powerful and strong truck. A little bit of a diesel water.

My review of my Ram Truck
Runs smoothly, hardly any problems and such an amazing height. Radio has Bluetooth, three seats in back and three seats in front along with five cup holders in front and in the back as well as in the sides of doors. Also a back window that can be opened with a button in from of truck .

Negative Owner Reviews

Heated steering wheel is a nicer bonus than you would think.
Technical features in the car need to be upgraded, anyone over 30 will find them disappointing. No issues with towing. Comfort is also an issue as the ride is not as smooth as I would have hoped. Although the vehicle is reliable, it will also burn oil. Do not know if this is an issue with all or just mine. Overall a good investment to haul my trailer.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Ryan S.

Lots of power, good handling, great towing capabilities, enough room for the family. It has been very reliable with very little maintenance. Highly recommend when you are looking for a truck with room for the family.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Ryan S.

The gas mileage is what you would expect for a full size diesel truck. They front end is very heavy, with a light rear end which will need weight in snowy conditions. The SLT does not come with a on the fly 4 wheel drive.
