What Owners are Saying About the 2018 Ram 1500 Quad Cab

"Incredible reliability and comfort"

"My truck has 94K miles. I thought I would trade around 70K miles but could not justify trading until this beast began to fail. It hasnt. Its ride remains very comfortable. The cab is quiet. Has yet to disappoint me on any aspect. I justified new tires, spark plugs and brakes at 93K miles since she just seems to want a few more years with me. I could not be happier."

"Perfect truck"

"2016 RAM 1500 Bighorn. Truck has 62k miles and has not had an issue. Engine has plenty of power for towing but also gets decent gas mileage. This is easily the best driving and most competent truck I've driven. Originally I wanted a Silverado but was very underwhelmed during the test drive and from other reviews. Also test drove Toyota Tundra and F-150 but found the RAM to be the best overall. Tundra was outdated and very rough riding. The F-150 was a very compelling alternative but I still felt the RAM was best between the two. I hope to keep this truck for a long time."

"Great truck"

"I love this truck it's my first Ram was a Chevy guy still am deep down but this truck is amazing great gas mileage was driving about 100 miles a day to and from work got almost 20 mpg with a 5.7 Hemi 4wd never did with my Silverado. It's very comfortable riding took awhile to get use to the no shifter just a dial but like anything else it's ok now. I would definitely recommend one to someone interested in 1."
