"If you're looking for a truck, you definitely can't go wrong with a RAM! I have a 2006 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4 Laramie. The truck looks amazing. I love the interior design and flow. I have the infinity sound system so the stereo is awesome too! I have owned this truck since it was brand new and I will drive it until it dies. I now have 126,360 miles on it and have had only one thing go wrong. The anti-rattle clips on the front brakes needed to be replaced which was only $11.99! This has been a great truck for me and I will never buy anything other than a RAM. The HEMI in this truck is a show stopper. I pull a 28' camper and a ski boat all summer, every summer ever since I bought it and it still pulls like it did when it was new. The four wheel drive is great. I do a lot of muddin and I have only gotten stuck one time, when my tires had no meat on them. The reason I rated the comfort and convenience an 8 was because the truck doesn't take bumps too lightly, but the because of the 4x4 which is expected. Here in the coming years I will be buying another Dodge Ram and retiring my 2006 to my son. Hope this was helpful."

"This is my third Dodge truck. I was a glutton for punishment as my '98 truck's transmission scattered for no reason right after it was out of warranty, got it repaired and bought a new '02, which needed a new computer board after 2 months. When I saw the Hemi Sport, I had to have it! I'm no stranger to performance vehicles, and this peach of a truck won my heart over the Corvette I had and my Shelby 350 Mustang. It hauls like a truck, performs like a sports car and rides like a luxury vehicle. I have had him for 9 years, and will keep him forever. I don't have any desire for a new one, they aren't nearly as awesome looking anyway!"

My Truck when new (And it still looks good).

"I love my dodge. The standard is tough and durable, this vehicle rides very well and for a truck is quite comfortable. The mileage is some-what low even for a standard at 16 and 21. My only real complaint is that once the truck backed-fired and that blew a hole in the PLASTIC Plenum (Intake manifold) and it took 9 months to get a replacement part through the dealer and I lost the use of the truck for that time. Please go back to an aluminum or metal one. After this happened to me I found out in searching the web that this was an issue and also over-heating (Mostly in southern states) caused the plenum to fail through distortion. Fix this and you have an excellent truck!"

"Bought my pickup brand new in 2007. We live on a small farm, my pickup has hauled horses, cows, pigs, dogs, hay, tractors and a Jeep Cherokee. It has worked phenomenal through mud, snow, rain, dirt! Recently took a trip to Black Hills and she climbed through the hills at 17 MPG! We pulled the Jeep Cherokee on a flatbed 2000 miles and she ran 15 mpg! And that was when she barely had 25,000 miles. I bet know the mileage would be much better as diesels only improve with age! I would reccommend to anyone who needs a hardworking reliable pickup!!"
