Incredible reliability and comfort
By ArmyDoc | on Thursday, November 09, 2017
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.… - 5.0
Perfect truck
By Packersfan | on Friday, December 11, 2020
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 Tundra was outdated and very rough riding.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.… - 5.0
