RAM 1500 with Cargo Manament System (i.e. RAMboxes

This truck meets all the requirements I had set for a truck ... had one very similar before and was searching for another one. Wanted the RAMboxes and a "shifter" not a dial to handle the gears! This model as the bucket style front seats, not the bench and the sifter is part of the console. It is loaded and just what I wanted.... save for the fact it does not have the tow package .... no matter.

Runs solid after 140K

Drives solid and tight... If I didn't know the mileage, I would thought it was practically brand new. The only thing I had to do was adjust the headlights, which was extremely easy. It feels very stable and has an incredibly quiet cab (nice sound proofing).

Defects dodge ignores

The tipm is a problem that is the brain box to your vehicle. It is defective in the rams. It leads to all kinds of issues. There is a problem with the lights.I changed the bulbs several times and they still do not work properly. Tipm related.( 1500.00 for a tipm) I changed exhaust manifold when I first got it. Never rectified it. It is the type of metal that contorts and causes problems. I have gone through several CV boots in the front. The fuel tank relay stopped working. I found someone to bypass tipm bullcrap. So now fuel tank works. Deal ships charges thousands of dollars to fix these defects in their own product. Irritates the xxxx out of me. Dodge knows about all these issues. Love the exterior of the dodge sport .not a fan of the inside. Ugly as heck in my opinion. My ram is a 2011 dodge ram sport.

Motor blown at 120K

Ram hemi motor is junk. I have a sequoia that I have abused with 200K+ on it and it is running strong. Ram should be ashamed of themselves. I wish I would have read more about the hemi motor before I bought. Seems a class action suit should be levied against these people. Terrible product.

Great Looking Truck

So far this truck is awesome, Ram trucks have always been my favorite for their looks, reliability and overall comfort. I would highly recommend this vehicle.

Awesome Truck!

I come from a Ford family and have always owned Fords with absolutely no issues or complaints. When choosing a new truck I was challenged to test drive all. The Ram blew me away with its performance, power and ride. I absolutely love this truck and its 5.7 liter Hemi!
