What’s the opinion of Ram trucks?

Buy what you want, it’s your money that you will be spending.

Cant be worse than the crap everybody else is putting out.

The 5.7 Hemi is a solid engine

I’ve got a 2015 2500. It had one issue about 5 yrs ago. Other than that, it’s been a good truck.

I keep tabs on the fleet at work. We only buy domestic trucks and only keep them until they get about 150,000 miles on them. My experience with the Rams is that they have slightly more convenience-type features than Ford or Chevy. They also have more safety recalls.


Take all of that for what it is worth.

Buddy just purchased a 2026 1500 Laramie for 72k …. That was the day two idiots met. Get a f150 with the coyote and be done with it. Ram/jeep are trash is you ask me

I have the 2021 Laramie with the 5.7 hemi. 60k miles so far and 0 issues. No complaints here.

always one.


Anyway Op, great trucks.

In my experience, they are awesome for tailgating someone who is only doing 90 on the interstate.

2021 Ram 1500 Laramie 5.7 etorque. 70k miles. No issues. My favorite truck I’ve ever owned. Engine has enough power. Transmission is smooth and always seems to find the right gear. Tows my bay boat well on the interstate in 7 th gear hums along at 2200 rpms (never breaks a sweat). Gas mileage sucks when towing but who cares, they all do. At this point in ownership My last truck…Silverado was burning more oil than gas, had all 4 door lock actuators fail, the cruise control sensor on the break pedal fail, the emissions canister thingy that captures gas tank fumes broke, and that’s just off the top of my head. The Alpine stereo is great. Everything just works like it did when I bought it. He’ll, even the automatic running boards still work… I thought for sure when I bought it I would regret that because surely they’d fail after a year or two. Nope still works. I’m buying another one next year.

As a Grand Cherokee owner (not a truck but this applies) I can tell you two things about Stellantis dealerships/service departments.

They put out nice vehicles and their service departments are generally a nightmare to work with if anything goes wrong.

Their service being mediocre at best wasn't a problem 10 years ago when they tended to be a bit cheaper to buy than competing vehicles but their push to make Jeep and Ram more upscale didn't include forcing their dealerships and service departments to upgrade as well. Good luck getting your vehicle back quickly or getting any kind of loner. Best case is usually a $50 per diem rental credit that you'll need to jump through hoops to get. People spending $60-100k on their higher trim vehicles should be getting high quality service and most Stellantis locations simply do not have it.

So that said, I really do love my Grand Cherokee but I am also hesitant to get another Stellantis product. Not so much b/c I believe it will crap out or have excessive recalls but b/c I know if there are issues it's going to be a really horrible experience.
