Steer clear of Ram Ecodiesel

I got the recall done. Worst fuel economy yet. Leaking coolant from EGR. Dealer gave me free antifreeze bc there is no fix from Ram. Save your $ and buy a gas engine.

Sweet ride!

I got the 1500 Rebel version, love it! Truck sounds mean, or as fiancée says, “it’s loud”. Sounds better than mustang I had in high school. Interior is nicer than my Grand Cherokee, stereo system speakers are sweet as well! MPG, not so much, but not horrible either, get about 16 in the winter with all the gadgets turned on & auto start/idling.

Dependable and comfortable

I have had 4 Rams, 3 Trucks and 1 van... loved them all and would buy again. Style and comfort on long trips plus the towing power.

Very happy with my choice.

Best truck I have invested in. The power , the style & design suit my expectations . After giving up my 2001 Dakota with its 4.7ltr V8, locked differential, I needed bigger to tow a loaded (tractor) car hauler & tool trailers The 4X4 diesel was a no brainer to choose. Even found myself pulling an empty semi truck after it got stuck in a snowbank with it. I purchased mine with 52.000 km on it in mid 2018. And as of Jan 2020, no problems yet. Love the truck.

MILLS CHRYSLER RIPPED ME OFF

Dont buy a “certified” vehicle from MIlls Chrysler in Wilmer Minnesota. They sold me a truck that was completely worn out with over 900 hours of idling time which adds a massive amount of wear on top of the mileage, the truck i bough has a blown engine now and the dealer couldn’t care less, the vehicle is a complete lemon and has a long long list of problems, run away from this dealer

Most fun truck I ever owned.

This is the 2nd ram 1500 I've owned and I love this one even more than my 1st. Super fun to drive. Hemi has tons of power, handles great for a truck, comfortable, and can tow a trailer up a mountain easy. 4 wheel drive is awesome in the snow. So glad I bought another ram.

Very nice truck!

I bought my 2016 Ram 1500 Bighorn 5.7 liter 8 speed crew cab brand new. It's been a fantastic truck, I also have a few friends that have switched to Rams and they love theirs also. I have owned it now for almost 4 years and still love it. I haul things with it and tow the boat and sleds with it. I live in MN so we get some snow and it is surefooted. My brother has a 2015 GMC and he can't say the same of the Sierra that I can about the Ram. I test drove and talked to many people with many other trucks as I used to be a Ford guy and wanted to make the correct purchase. I took a gamble when I picked the Ram, you got more truck for the buck by far. I'm glad I went with it. Go test drive one for yourself, don't take my word for it.

This vehicle is very reliable and is sporty

This vehicle just came off of a lease. The vehicle is in excellent shape and I liked the sporty style. This vehicle is a 2016 Dodge Ram 1500 sporty. The vehicle has Ram sporty bucket seats and driver display console. Vehicle is sting yellow with black emblems very nice.
