It gives you access to the menu to switch between the temperature controls, radio controls, connectivity controls. The steering wheel has all the controls you would need to make choices on the touch screen monitor with out ever needing to take your hands off the wheel. It comes equipped with the standard amenities that you would expect. The inside is roomy and spacious with grey cloth interior. The outside paint is glossy and makes the truck shine. We own a tire business, so the truck bed accommodates all of my needs for transporting small loads of tires, and when I need to transport a larger amount of tires the towing capacity handles that, with the ability to install a tow ball for trailer hook up. The outside trim is chrome so it off sets the maroon red very nicely. The body of the truck is tough looking and sleek. To me all the cons seem petty compared to all the benefits.Īround September of last year my wife and I bought a brand new maroon red Ram 1500 with the Hemi motor. We’ve had it looked at and no one seems to know what the matter is. Its faint, but annoying when that is the only sound in the vehicle. The second problem is that the factory stereo system rattles. Everything else should be the after thought. A seat should foremost be comfortable in my mind, since that is its primary function. Perhaps they can make a deal with memory foam manufacturers for future models. The hard plastic storage inside the backrest and seat make it almost unbearable for longer trips. I prefer to ride right next to my husband and would like more consideration put into making the seat comfortable, not increasing already able storage. So in that respect it depends on where you are coming from. We had a Chevy Cavalier before and our average was 23 mpg, now its 18 mpg. For us, this has actually been a decrease. I also hear people worry about gas mileage because trucks are by, in large, for being gas guzzlers. There are plenty of well positioned grab bars to aid in entry if needed. However if you are “short” but in good physical condition you should have not issues. This is definitely not the first choice of vehicle for handicapped persons. In their defense we do have 22” wheels and no running board. The chief complaint of other passengers has been that it is difficult to get into. In my experience there are very few if any cons, so I will start with what others have told me. Oh, and in case your wondering, they caught the person responsible for the hit and run a few months later. I trust Dodge Ram with my family's lives. This truck has kept my family safe and calm in more than one incident. ![]() We were able to drive home, not everyone else was, tow trucks had to be called. None of us felt more than a bump, like hitting a minor pothole. The moral of the story is that of the 5, or more vehicles hit, cars and trucks alike, we were the only ones who were able to maintain control and keep moving forward, out of harms way. Thank God no one was injured, not us, not the other people hit by this criminal. The SUV however lost control hit 4 other vehicles, casting them into the median and ditch, before it jumped the median itself to flee the scene. Never swerving, jerking, or losing control my husband corrected and got us back on the road instantly. The white SUV just kept increasing speed and merging over closer and closer, it nearly rear ended the SUV that was in the right lane but instead continued moving left, right into us! My husband was honking and accelerating and even moved to the shoulder to try and avoid being hit by this reckless individual, but it was in vain. There was another dark colored SUV just slightly ahead of us in the right lane. We were in the left hand lane and off to my right side I noticed a white SUV gaining speed coming down an on ramp. My husband was driving and our son and our Airedale terrier were secured in the back seat. I was in the middle front with my Rat terrier next to me buckled in the front passenger seat. We were traveling home from a vet appointment on a rainy day with average visibility going about 60 mph down the Highway 34 in Iowa. ![]()
