2017 Ram 1500 Customer Reviews

Pros

• Cargo Space

  The crew cab version really makes traveling with 5 adults comfortable with room to spare. An elevated stance and clear sight lines eliminates most blind spots. Depending on options, it provides all the desired options. Never knew I needed heated seats and steering wheel but makes cold days easier. Controls are all laid out well and within easy operation from the drivers position.

• Reliability

  Follow scheduled maintenance and care and the lifetime is potentially into the hundreds of thousands of miles.

• Ride and Handling

  Although it is a full size truck, the suspension, steering, and overall handling are excellent. there is no jarring or excessive body roll at speed or plunging front end when braking. Loaded bed or trailer actually improves the ride and stability

Cons

• Technology and Entertainment

  Hard to upgrade audio with Ram product to meet 2020’s available technology but it allows the use of iTunes. Aftermarket audio eliminates other features available on the stock entertainment system

Pros

• Technology and Entertainment

  There are lots of "Bells and Whistles" on this truck. The Uconnect

• Interior Space

  The truck has amazing interior space. It would seat six passengers comfortably. This vehicle is equipped with a pull down center seat in the front.

• Power

  Purchased this truck to tow a small lightweight trailer. It did a tremendous job. I did not even know the trailer was there.

Cons

• Fuel Economy

  I'd love it to get better gas mileage, but I know these vehicles tend to use a lot of gas.

• Reliability

  The jury is still out on reliability. At about 3 months of ownership, I had a "check engine" light come on. Dealer diagnosis and repair was $500. and that was after Maxcare kicked in. It turned out to be a bad "ignition coil".

  The truck is equipped with a 3 L eco-diesel motor. Loving the gas mileage! So far, I am averaging 24 MPG combined and up to 27 on the highway.

• Technology and Entertainment

  I feel like the truck has everything that would’ve been available in 2017. While there are new features available on newer vehicles, this truck is ably equipped for everything that I need and quite honestly is the most luxurious vehicle I’ve owned.

  The truck Is tight. Steering response is Instantaneous and it tracks perfectly with no wandering. The interior is quiet with no rattles or squeaks. Soundproofing is very good, hiding the sound of the diesel motor.

  I have the V6 and it is really good on gas. It gets better gas mileage than my old RX 350.

  Surprisingly quiet ride. Very smooth.

  I'm not planning on towing a toy hauler so the V6 version is perfect for me. It has more than enough power to tow a boat or small trailer. Sufficiently strong driving up large mountains climbing 5k plus feet.

  It's the base model so I can't be too upset but I wish it had a back up camera.

  All my other vehicle are much small. I love the room for family where driving out of town
